Occupation(s)Lawyer, author and human rights activist

Heinz Nawratil (born 1937 in Suchdol nad Odrou, Czechoslovakia) is a German lawyer, legal author and human rights activist.

After World War II Nawratil settled in Bavaria, West Germany, where he grew up in Miesbach. He studied law, earned a doctorate and worked as a civil law notary. He has written books on legal subjects which have been printed in over a million copies. He is also known for his research on the expulsion of Germans after World War II.

In a 2009 article, German historian Ingo Haar claims that Nawratil distorted evidence in his 1982 study on German victims of the flight and expulsion in 1945/6. German historian Martin Broszat (former head of the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich) has described Nawratil's works as "polemics written from a nationalist-rightist point of view" that "exaggerate in absurd way the scale of any crimes that accompanied the expulsion of Germans."

Nawratil's Schwarzbuch der Vertreibung (Blackbook on Expulsion) received a positive review by Erika Steinbach in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 1999.

In 2007 Nawratil was a member of a delegation of the Society for Threatened Peoples visiting Iraqi Kurdistan.
