'''Angelos Ewert''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] career police officer who served as Chief of Police in Athens during the German occupation ([[1941]] - [[1944]]) and Greek Chief of Police afterwards.

Ewert was born in [[Athens]] on [[April 10]], [[1894]]. He was the son of Police major Miltiades Ewert who was of Bavarian origin. He studied Law at the [[University of Athens]] and, in [[1915]], enlisted in the Police, graduating from the Police Academy in [[1920]].
In [[1929]], he transferred to the newly-established Urban Police force.

After the capitulation of Greece in [[World War II]], Ewert became Chief of Police in [[Athens]]. In this capacity, he saved many Jews by issuing false identity papers to them. After the Germans withdrew from Greece, in December [[1944]], Communists marched on [[Athens]] and held a demonstration in a central square. Ewert ordered his policemen to disperse the crowd by any and all means. This violence was the beginning of the [[December events]] ("Dekemvriana") which marred the period following Greek liberation.

Between [[1951]] and [[1955]], Ewert served as head of the Greek Urban Police Force. He was forced to resign on [[January 31]], [[1955]] after disciplinary action was taken against him in a matter involving foreign agents.

Ewert died on [[December 30]], [[1970]].

His son was [[Miltiades Ewert]] who served as Mayor of [[Athens]] and [[New Domocracy]] party leader.
