Walter Diggelmann was a Swiss professional road bicycle racer, born in Zurich on 11 August 1915 and died in Guntalingen on 5 March 1999. He is recorded as a rider of the Tour de France, the most prominent race of the professional calendar. In the 1952 edition of the Tour de France he won one stage, which is the achievement recorded in his English Wikipedia article and the reason he is remembered in the history of the race. The article gives only a short account of his career, so this entry records what is stated there and leaves his other results, teams and finishes to be added from fuller race archives.
