Augusto Rademaker

Augusto Hamann Rademaker Grünewald (11 May 1905 – 13 September 1985) was an Brazilian admiral, of German and Danish descent,[1] in the Brazilian Navy. Rademaker was one of the leaders of the Military Junta (August 30, 1969 – October 30, 1969) that ruled Brazil between the illness of Artur da Costa e Silva in August 1969 and the investiture ceremony of Emílio Garrastazu Médici in October of that same year, elected by fellow officer generals and confirmed by the Congress. In the same occasions Rademaker was picked and "elected" as vice president for the same term as Medici's (1969–1974).[2]
