Answer
The Organisation Consul, a right-wing paramilitary group in Germany, was responsible for the assassination of Walther Rathenau, the German foreign minister, in 1922. The group, led by former naval officer Hermann Ehrhardt, was motivated by extreme nationalism and opposition to the Weimar Republic's policies, particularly the Treaty of Versailles and the payment of reparations to the Allies following World War I.
