		Blaskowitz also had to maintain strong forces in western France, to defend the Atlantic coast, and since the Normandy invasion in early June, he had seen many of his best reserve units transferred north.
		That accomplished, Blaskowitz intended to withdraw what was left of his army group directly east into the Vosges Mountain-Belfort Gap area, establishing a juncture with the retreating northern army groups along the trace of the Franco-German border.
		Blaskowitz positioned a new corps he had received, whose forces were in no better shape, north of Dijon, thus creating the "pocket" the German commanders had planned to form until their Atlantic forces could arrive.

		On 5 February 1948, General Johannes Blaskowitz died under mysterious circumstances while awaiting trial as a war criminal in Nürnberg.
		At the end of the war Blaskowitz was in command of German forces cut off in the Netherlands by the advancing Allies, probably written off by the more realistic German leaders.
		Given his record, it is ironic that Blaskowitz was under indictment for war crimes at the time of his still-unexplained death.

	Chapter I: The Halt at the Meuse
		Blaskowitz' command comprised only the independent LXVI Corps (General der Artillerie Walther Lucht), operating on the north flank of the army group in the Neufchâteau-Langres sector, and the Nineteenth Army (General der Infanterie Friedrich Wiese), a total of seven divisions.
		This tacit antagonism seems to have stemmed from the fact that Blaskowitz was lukewarm toward the Nazi regime and had run afoul of Himmler in Czechoslovakia and Poland, provoking an enmity from the latter which would continually plague Blaskowitz in his conduct of combat operations.
		Blaskowitz' immediate problem was to hold this north flank long enough to permit the escape of the LXIV Corps, but he also took occasion to warn OKW of a possible irreparable breach between Army Group G and the First Army.

		Directly under him are two of Germany's younger generals: Field Marshal Johannes Blaskowitz to command the front-line defense of the Atlantic Wall; Field Marshal Erwin Rommel to lead the interior army of shock and maneuver which must be thrown wherever the main Allied effort develops.
		Rundstedt was unable to save Blaskowitz' career at the time; now he has clearly been strong enough to force his colleague's recall to duty.
		But if the old-line generals were in the ascendancy at the Army's top, the Nazi party bosses had no intention of losing their control over the rank and file.

		The example of Generaloberst Johannes Blaskowitz, an officer with a higher moral conscience than most, is poignant here.
		Assuming that Blaskowitz's problems were common in the Army command, the Fuhrer ridiculed the latter's "childish mentality" and sneered that 'one cannot conduct a war with Salvation Army methods.
		Conspicuously absent from this ceremony was Blaskowitz, whose repeated complaints had earned him a warning from von Brauchitsch in February, reassignment in May, and the distinction of being the only Generaloberst not promoted to Generalfeldmarschall in July.

		Some historians contrast Rommel's withdrawal of his army back to Tunisia against Hitler's dreams of much greater success than even his capture of Tobruk (in sharp contrast to the fate suffered by the German 6th Army at the Battle of Stalingrad under the command of Friedrich Paulus which stood its ground and was annihilated).

		Briesen's weakened division had held the flanks of the main column (of Colonel General Johannes Blaskowitz's 8th Army) against a mass break out attempt by Polish forces, and in the process Briesen personally led the last reserve battalion into combat.
		During the battle, a large piece of shrapnel sliced away his left forearm, but he insisted on returning to lead his division as soon as the wound was cared for.

		Blaskowitz' command included First Army (General der Infanterie Kurt von der Chevallerie), which held the Atlantic coast of France south of Brittany, and Nineteenth Army (General der Infanterie Georg von Sodenstern), which held the French Mediterranean coast.
