Hermann

 

 

(1885) - (1971). He was one of the principal members of the German expedition that directed the troops to the Russian territory. At the head of the III Armoured group, his intention was to reach the group of panzers that was directing Guderian in Minsk. Though to the beginning of this campaign they managed to avoid the Soviet assault and to continue advancing towards Moscow, the way was complicated increasingly. His troops remained without forces to twenty kilometres of the capital, acting deceitfully before the Red Army. This reverse supposed Guderian's retreat, though Hoth was kept in the army for Hitler's desire.

Hoth lead the IV armoured Army, when he planned his entry in Stalingrad during the rescue mission of Manstein. He returned to fail to the being surrounded by the Soviet ones. In 1943 Hitler suspended him.
