I don't hace any picture, I have seen that on many videotapes. But we speak clearly about the same general...
Thanks a lot...

I know that Paulus and Seydlitz cooperated with the Russians. Seydlitz was at this time "anti-Hitler". Arthur Schmidt NEVER cooperated with Russians because he was a nazi general. What is funny is that Hitler was sure that Schmidt had already (beofre capitulation) contacts with the Russian...

So why does HE clearly have his both arms (right hand saluting and left hand having something in)???

Have you any explanation?
Thanks anyway...

There is a general (Wehrmacht) we often see in videotapes and I don't know who he is. That's during the french campaign: we see this general on his horse, rewiewing his troups in front of him during a celebration in Paris, 14th or 16th june 1940. He wears the Ritterkreuz, is a Generalleutnant and ha...

I'm sorry, I forgot something: there has been an Oberbefhlshaber im Osten. Since the end of the campaign of Poland until 1940.
I think that was first Rundstedt and then Blaskowitz.

There has never been any commander-in-chief East! Since 1941 (I'm not sure), The high command is cut into tow areas: - OKH takes care of the eastern front and - OKW takes care of all others fronts: from Norwegen to North Afrika, with France (OBW), Italia (OBS and/or OBSW), Greece and Yougoslavia (OB...

I'm coming from Switzerland, where we have a milician army where everyone has to do hie military service. I went to the Panzerschule in Thun (tank school) where I had a great pleasure piloting Leoprad 2 A4. Then, I made a uneroffizierschule to become chief of the tank. That's great too. I'm serving ...

When Paulus took command on the 6.Armee (1st january 1942), there is no question about a man that has to say "No". There is no question of Stalingrad, yet! During the offensive, Hitler is sure that there is no more resistance in front of him because Russians are fleing (fefuse combat...). ...

You may be right. Was he able to do better? Was someone else able to do better? I mean, what can the Wehrmacht do against the Red Army end 44/beginning 45?

I'm 100% agreed with you. Some want to compare Guderian and Rommel, well: What do we think about when we hear "Guderian"? XIX.Armeekorps (mot.), well in Poland, better in France. Thta's the main unit realising ths Sichelschnitt (He is at the Schwerpunkt). Russia, PzGruppe 2: fast advance t...

Why shouldn't we count Göring's? Görind is better political as soldier, i'm all right. But he is the commander in chife of the Luftwaffe, as Brauchitsch or Raeder are commanders in chief... Objectively, we have to count his Grand Cross. But that makes me sick, too... Maybe I wasn't clear about somet...

I would add my little contribution: - One said that Busch was at the bad place at the bad time, OK. But it's unimmaginable to be sure that Model or another general would have saved the situation... - Hitler is not the man who turned the weak Reichswehr in the strong Wehrmacht. A lot of programms (Pl...

Manstein certainly is one of the best generalstab's officers, that's uncontestable. Note: Polish campaign, Manstein is chief of general staff in the eeresgruppe Süd, not Ia. But there is something often written about him: during the period between Charkov and Kursk, he had not been able to get his i...

Let me tell you what I think: the most important thing for a soldier (concerning the awards) is not to receive a lot of them, it's to receive the highest award... So, it's interesting to know someone's every award but his graetest award should be representative of him... I know i'm not clear, so I h...

The two french versions you have are translations word-to-word, in fact, I herad most of the time this version:

- Mon honneur s'appelle fidélité

J'en suis sûr, pour une fois que je peux parler en français sur un site en anglais !
