As the amphibious landing was being reported to the Twentieth Mountain Army, the XIX Mountain Corps chief of staff requested that the corps counterattack be postponed from 10 October to 11 October because of the difficulty in assembling scattered units.

The German forces under General Lothar Rendulic took their revenge, however, by devastating large stretches of northern Finland.
In addition to the property losses, estimated as equivalent to about US$300 million (in 1945 dollars), suffered in northern Finland, about 100,000 inhabitants became refugees, a situation that added to the problems of postwar reconstruction.
As a final, lingering effect of the Lapland War, the Germans planted numerous mines during their retreat; some of the mines were so cleverly placed that they continued to kill and maim civilians who triggered them as late as 1948.

This other general, who turned out to be Colonel General Lothar von Rendulic, commander of Army Group South, entered the discussions and explained that the reason for keeping Americans west of the Ybbs River was that, if they crossed the river, they might be inadvertently fired on by German forces.
By the end of that first meeting with Gyldenfeldt, Samuell had agreed to inform the 71st Division headquarters of Gyldenfeldt's desire to arrange for a surrender and to request an American officer with authority to come to Waidhofen to accept it.
Through Gyldenfeldt, Rendulic had expressed the desire for Samuell's commanding general to come to Waidhofen, but Samuell informed them that it was unlikely that he would come.

General Lothar Rendulic was accused of violating Article 23(g) of the 1907 Hague Regulations, which prohibits the destruction or seizure of the enemy’s property, “unless such destruction or seizure [is] imperatively demanded by the necessities of war”.
Rendulic raised the defence of “military necessity”, since his troops were being pursued by what appeared to be overwhelming Soviet forces.
By contrast, Field Marshall Erich von Manstein was convicted by a British military tribunal of “the mass deportation and evacuation of civilian inhabitants” of the Ukraine.

 GERMAN COUNTERINSURGENCY POLICY IN INDEPENDENT CROATIA, 1941-1944. - The Historian - HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Shortly after General Lothar Rendulic and his Second Panzer Army arrived in Independent Croatia from Russia in late August 1943, Rendulic proposed a German administration under his command in Independent Croatia.
It was, according to Rendulic, a place where "a large number of Reich agencies" in addition to the Wehrmacht "pursued their [own] intentions."(33)
Counterinsurgency efforts were left largely to combat units as infighting at the top of the German leadership structure in Independent Croatia allowed power to devolve to combat commanders who often were enthusiastic advocates of reactive, brutal, and counterproductive methods for fighting the Partisans and their civilian supporters.

DEFENDANT RENDULIC: In the spring of 1944, the Finns had entered into negotiations with the Russians, and these negotiations did not lead to any results.

Next to the SS it was the German army who played a central role in the murder of Jews in Serbia, which at the time was under German military administration.
Many Austrians were co-responsible for war crimes in Serbia as well as in other areas of former Yugoslavia; some as Generals, like Franz Böhme, Lothar Rendulic or Alexander Löhr; some also in the lower ranks of the army.
The relatively high participation of Austrians was no coincidence: since the Habsburgs and the First World War, Austrians were thought of as experts for the Balkans.

The assault crushed the last seizable pocket of German resistance which did not comply with the unconditional surrender of German forces on May 8th, and it relieved the Czech partisans fighting in the Prague Uprising started on May 5th, 1945 who were aided briefly by the Russian Liberation Army (Vlasov).

As Hitler considered Rendulic's proposition, Kasche traveled to Berlin to convince him that a military administration was superfluous since "the [Croatian] state is thoroughly viable."(31) Two weeks later Hitler rejected Rendulic's proposal.

For example, Lucas spends most of his chapter on Erwin Rommel writing about Rommel's time in France in 1940 while breezing over his more famed time in Africa and his role in the Normandy campaign.
Still, the book does give pretty good info on well-known leaders such as Sepp Dietrich, Albert Kesselring, Erich von Manstein, Walther Nehring, and Rommel, while also dealing with some lesser-known men such as August von der Heydte, Willi Langkeit, Hermann Ramcke, Lothar Rendulic, and Rudolf Witzing, among others.
All in all, a decent effort by Lucas with some good info, but the writing is dry at times.

 Fighting the Russians in Winter: three case studies
It could only have been in total ignorance of the Arkhangelsk campaign more than twenty-two years earlier that the German Army in 1941 could be "surprised" (as General Rendulic expressed it) that because of the extreme cold the mechanisms of rifles and machine guns, and even the breech blocks of artillery, became absolutely rigid.
Because shelter was essential to survival, villages became the focal points of local battles during the winter of 1941-42, just as they had been in 1918-19.
German General Lothar Rendulic noted that, because of a hiatus in heavy snowfall for several weeks before the end of January 1942, the snow on most of the roads used for operations had already been so well packed that movement was possible.
