About
Hans Krebs was a career officer who moved through the Imperial German Army, the interwar Reichswehr, and into Hitler's Wehrmacht. On 1 April 1945, with the Third Reich collapsing, he was named Chief of Staff of the German Army High Command. The appointment came a month before the end. After Hitler's suicide on 30 April, Krebs attempted to broker a conditional surrender with Soviet commanders in Berlin. The Soviets demanded unconditional terms. Negotiations collapsed. In the early hours of 2 May 1945, Krebs returned to the bunker and took his own life.
