About this person

Hermann Geyer was a German professional army officer who served the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany. He fought in both world wars and attained the rank of General der Infanterie. In the First World War, he held both command and staff positions but for most of the war served on the General Staff. During the interwar years, he was the commander of Wehrkreis V in southwest Germany until he was dismissed by Adolf Hitler for expressing skepticism about his war plans. Recalled to military service in the Second World War, Geyer commanded the IX Army Corps until he was dismissed in December 1941 after the failure of the German assault on Moscow. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, retired in 1943 and committed suicide after the end of the war.
