This is NOT a site meant to promote Nazism, the politics of Adolf Hitler, or any other political ideology. It deals with the subject of German military during a particular period of history--nothing else.


General von Manteuffel was a tank commander who fighted around Moscow, in Africa, Kharkov. In 1944 he was a member of the famous Ardennes Offensive, the Battle of Bastogne. He belongs to only 27 holders of Swords and Diamonds.
