About Gerd von Rundstedt

Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt (December 12, 1875 – February 24, 1953) was a German field marshal in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II. He was dismissed after the German defeat in Normandy in July 1944, but was again recalled as Commander-in-Chief in the West in September, holding this post until his final dismissal by Adolf Hitler in March 1945. Rundstedt was aware of the various plots to depose Hitler, but refused to support them. After the war, he was charged with war crimes, but did not face trial due to his age and poor health. He was released in 1949, and died in 1953.
