Descriptionof The Last Prussian
Manufacturer

Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt (18751953) was one of the most important German commanders of the Second World War. After serving on the Western and Eastern Fronts between 1914 and 1918, he rose steadily through the ranks before retiring in 1938. Recalled to plan the attack on Poland, he played a leading role in this and the invasion of France in 1940. He then commanded Army Group South in the attack on Russia before being dismissed at the end of 1941. Recalled to active duty, he became Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front and, as such, faced the Allied invasion of France in 1944, but was relieved of his command in July of that year. In September 1944, he resumed his post and was responsible for the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. Captured by the Americans, he was handed over to the British, who wanted to try him for war crimes. Only his poor health prevented this.
