A native of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Walter Dessart, as he was known, was the son of Wilhelm German Oskar Dessart and Marie Dessart (née Raum). Walter Dessart was a medical student when he was called up to join the German Army during World War One. He saw a good deal of action during the war, particularly in France, where he served with a Foot Regiment, but managed to survive.
After the war Walter Dessart completed his medical studies, qualifying as a dentist. In 1925, in Hamburg, he marred Frieda Carola Krüder. In the early years of World War Two, Walter Dessart was a Reserve Captain in an anti-aircraft transport battery. He was injured in action and died of a brain injury in a reserve military hospital in Innsbruck, Austria (then known as Ostmark) in February 1941. He was 43 years old. Brother of Fritz.
