FRANZ HALDER
(1884 -1972) One-time German chief of staff until transferred to the reserves by Hitler due to policy disputes. Suspected of plotting against Hitler's life in 1944, he was interned at Flossenburg until his rescue by the Allies. HALDER TELLS PAULUS HE HAS BEEN RELIEVED OF HIS POSITION Fine association war-date T.L.S. on his Chief of the General Staff letterhead, 1p. 4to., [n.p.],Sep. 24, 1942 to FRIEDRICH PAULUS (1890-1957), a German field marshal who headed the 6th Army's drive on Stalingrad and was captured there. In full: 'I surrendered my posting today. I would like to thank you, dear Paulus, for your loyalty and friendship, and for your leadership, I wish further happy successes...' File holes at left, else fine. Following the failure of 'Case Blue', the planned offensive against the southern sector of the Russian front to capture the Soviet oil fields in the Caucasus, Hitler removed Halder from command and retired him to the F�hrer Reserve. Paulus had his own problems as well - he was rapidly becoming bogged-down at Stalingrad in what would become the destruction of a huge part of Germany's army and his own ultimate 'surrender'.
