Oskar Hermann Artur Schlitter (15 June 1904 – 12 November 1970) was a German diplomat. He was a Nazi Party member between 1934 and 1945 and excluded from the diplomatic service between 1945 and 1952, the year in which he returned to government service for what was now West Germany.
Between 1964 and 1970 he served as his country's in Athens.
Through his marriage to actress Daisy D'ora (Miss Germany 1931), he acquired a glamorous and publicity prone wife to whom diplomatic discretion did not always come naturally.
Oskar Schlitter was born in Essen where his father, Oscar Schlitter (1868–1939), was the leading director at the Credit-Anstalt Bank.
He attended university in Munich and Berlin, studying law, economics and agriculture, and receiving a doctorate in the latter in 1928. He entered the Diplomatic service in 1929 and in 1932 married the recently retired film actress and former Miss Germany, Daisy D'ora. Between 1932-36, Schlitter was accredited to the German consulate in New York City.
It was during this period, in January 1933, that régime change came to Germany, and the new government lost no time in transforming the country into a one-party dictatorship. Oskar Schlitter joined the Nazi Party in 1934. Between 1936-39 he was posted to the German embassy in London, serving under Ambassador von Ribbentrop with whom he worked closely.
In 1939 The Schlitters purchased the "schloss", together with the surrounding estate, at , in the hills east of Ingolstadt. The family moved to Offenstetten where Daisy and their two children lived during the World War II which resumed in September 1939, although Schlitter's work kept him away from home for most of this time.
