	Hans von Kluge
		In 1938 Kluge objected to the aggressive foreign policy adopted by Adolf Hitler and as a result was dismissed from office.
		Kluge shared these views but Adolf Hitler was unwilling to accept that he was on the verge of defeat.
		Kluge went on to say that, about a year before, Witzleben, Beck and others had come to his home to sound him about an approach to the Führer and how it should be conducted.

		Kluge thoroughly dislikes Hitler's gangsterlike Nazi entourage and is appalled at the persecution of the Jews.
		Kluge now has under his command all the German armies in France and is therefore in a position to give the conspirators the pivotal support they need to start a coup.
		Upon his return, Kluge is again won back into the conspirator's camp and on July 12 agrees with Rommel that the war is lost and that Hitler must sue for peace or be overthrown.

		Gunther von Kluge was born in Posen in 1882.
		In September 1939 von Kluge commanded the German Fourth Army in the campaign against Poland and was outstandingly successful against the poorly organised Polish lines, and he was to repeat this success as an Army Commander in the campaign against France in 1940.
		Von Kluge was far too cautious for Guderian and insisted that the mechanized forces should not outstrip their accompanying infantry.

	Market Garden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Von Rundstedt snaps back with the answer 'End this war, idiots!' When Hitler hears about the answer, he fires Von Rundstedt as OBW and announces that "the old man" probably can't handle his duties anymore.
		A short time later an assassination attempt on Hitler's life is attempted, and because Von Kluge is involved with this he is called to appear in Hitler's headquarters.
		Von Kluge is then replaced by Field-marshal Walter Model who is not only OBW now but also Army-leader of Army-Group B. An almost impossible task.

		Von Rundstedt, the senior and most dependable field marshal in the Wehrmacht, was incredulous.
		Von Rundstedt, Hitler ordered, was not only to stop the Allies as far west as possible, but to counterattack for, as the Fuhrer saw it, the most dangerous Allied threats were no more than "armored spearheads." Clearly, however, Hitler was shaken by the capture of Antwerp.
		Von Kluge had been indirectly implicated, and Hitler also suspected him of trying to negotiate a surrender with the enemy.

	Karl Dönitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The surrender documents included the phrase "All forces under German control to cease active operations at 2301 hours Central European Time on 8 May 1945." The next day, shortly before midnight, Jodl repeated the signing in Berlin at Zhukov's headquarters and at the time specified the end of World War II in Europe occurred.
		Dönitz appointed Ludwig von Krosigk as Chancellor (Reichskanzler) and they attempted to form a government.
		During his brief period in office Dönitz devoted most of his efforts to ensuring the loyalty of the German armed forces and trying to ensure German troops would surrender to the British or Americans and not the Soviets, fearing vengeful Soviet reprisals.

	Behaviour And Role Of The Officer Corps In The Third Reich
		A phrase widely current at the time described the Army as the 'aristocratic form of emigration'; many of the bourgeois class, resigned to the situation, sought refuge in military service from the repugnant reality of political activity, in order to satisfy their desire for individual achievement in tasks that were supposedly beyond moral evaluation.
		The repeated warnings and fundamental objections advanced by Blomberg and those around him, expressed in their most definite form in a famous discussion on 5th November 1937, convinced Hitler that the top military leadership was not made of the stuff which he required for his extensive plans for conquest.
		Fritsch was succeeded by General von Brauchitsch, whose qualifications for the post were a weak character and the declaration that he was 'ready for anything' that was asked of him.

		Kluge therefore wanted to make sure that German High Command was sure of what they had available.
		The fact that the Allies had in their possession the locations and descriptions of all German armoured divisions under Kluge's command allowed them to plan a careful attack, and be able to predict the speed and strength of counter-attacks.

		With the muddy spring season just a few weeks away, the German army ceded the initiative it had gained during the winter of 1942 and 1943 to refit and rearm in preparation for the coming summer months, which were much better suited to mounted operations.
		Guderian, inspector general of Panzer troops, was so outspoken in his opposition to the Citadel plan that von Kluge asked Hitler to be his second in a duel with Guderian.
