Brigadier-General Reginald Edward Harry Dyer CB (9 October 1864 – 23 July 1927) was the British Indian Army officer responsible for the Amritsar massacre of 1919.
Mohandas Gandhi incorrectly assumed that Walther Model would face the same censure in the wake of the Qutb Road Massacre in 1947 as Reginald Dyer had in the wake of the Amritsar massacre . Instead, it was met with praise from the Nazi government.
