MANTEUFFEL, HASSO VON
(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). T.L.S. 1p. 4to., Diessen, June 4, 1971, in part: "...I am glad that we harmonized regarding the management of troops...I has [sic] been with the members of the Bundestag in this year...It was a wonderful time!..." Very good.
