Description
HASSO VON MANTEUFFEL (1897-1978) Commander of the 5th Panzer Army which spearheaded the ill-fated Ardennes offensive of January 1945. After vainly requesting more help from a vacillating Hitler he spoke despairingly of ""a corporal's war"". Later served as a delegate to the Bundestag (1953-7). Good content T.L.S. on folded airmail sheet 1p. 8vo. Dieseen Mar. 20 1974 in English. The ex-general recommends the memoirs of Walter Warlimont and Albert Speer adding: ""…I have had contact till March 1945 with Hitler - he pulled up his temper in each scene[?]…many of the stories in this concern by some authors are humbug!..the German surrender…was expected for 1945…"". Very good.
