	Walther von Reichenau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walther von Reichenau (August 16, 1884 - January 17, 1942), German military commander, was the son of a Prussian general and joined the German Army in 1902.
		In September 1939, von Reichenau commanded the 10th Army during the invasion of Poland.
		A few historians such as Walter Görlitz have sought to defend von Reichenau, summarizing his October 1941 "Reichenau Order" as "demanding that the troops keep their distance from the Russian civilian population." Actually, the order included such cruel directives as killing any Russian civilian found travelling without a permit and away from his home village.

		On 4 February 1938 von Manstein was appointed commander of the 18th infantry division with the rank of Generalleutnant in Liegnitz, Silesia.

		SS Colonel Walter Blume was commander of Sonderkommando 7a which was attached to Einsatzgruppe B. Blume, like the other defendants, presented affidavits testifying to his "honesty, good nature, kindness, tolerance, and sense of justness." 295 The Tribunal bemoaned that a person of such moral stature had fallen under the influence of Adolf Hitler.
		On April 28, 1941, von Weichs issued an order which established the twin touchstones of German occupation of Yugoslavia and Greece: a refusal to recognize partisan fighters and suspected sympathizers as either lawful belligerents or "protected persons;" and the execution of hostages in reprisal for the wounding and killing of Germans.
		Von Weichs and Felmy concluded that the officer's action was "'merely a transgression against formality and corresponded to a natural soldierly feeling.'" The officer was only subjected to disciplinary sanctions.

	Standing Fast: German defensive doctrine on the Russian front during world war II
		Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, when describing his experiences as a panzer corps commander in Russia during the summer of 1941, observed that "the security of a tank formation operating in the enemy's rear largely [depended] on its ability to keep moving.
		In July, to the despair of General Halder and Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch, commander in chief of the German Army, Hitler began to renew the meddlesome interference in tactical operations that he had practiced in the French campaign.
		Field Marshal von Bock discerned the threat that these attacks posed to Army Group Center, Bock had no desire to see his units ground up piecemeal in battles of attrition and preferred instead to resume the fluid battles of maneuver that had earlier characterized the campaign.

		He courted General Werner von Blomberg, whom President Paul von Hindenburg had appointed Reichswehr Minister in January 1933 (immediately before Hitler assumed office) and Colonel Walter von Reichenau, Blomberg's Ministerial Office Chief.
		3 Encouraged by Reichenau, Blomberg immediately ordered "all soldiers of the Wehrmacht" to pledge an oath of allegiance — not to the Reich Constitution, as it was until December 1933, or to the Volk and Fatherland, as it was afterwards — but to the new Supreme Commander himself.
		He replaced Fritsch as Army C-in-C with Walter von Brauchitsch, this being a far easier move than finding a replacement for Blomberg.
