(1884 -1972) One-time German chief of staff until transferred to the reserves by Hitler due to policy disputes.

Directed and planned Operation Barbarossa in 1941 and had a decisive role in the development of 'the myth of the clean Wehrmacht' in the post-war era. Recipient of Knight's Cross. T.L.S., 1p., legal folio, Karlsruhe, Germany. March 13, 1958, to a collector about sending him a signed correspondence from Field Marshall WILHELM LEEB (1876-1956). In part: 'From the immortalized Field Marshal Wilhelm v. Leeb. At the moment I only have one original letter on hand.... letters from wartime are no longer available to me. When I was informed beforehand by friends of mine of my imminent arrest by Hitler in 1944, I destroyed all correspondence in order to remove evidence of the connection with other persons.' Halder signs the conclusion in black ink. Fine condition.
