German Field Marshal Erich von Manstein-Commander

Erich von Manstein was a German army commander closely associated with operational planning and large mobile formations during the Second World War. He played an important part in the planning behind the 1940 western campaign and later held senior commands on the Eastern Front, including the Crimea and southern sector. His career also belongs to the history of Nazi occupation and war crimes; he was convicted by a British military court after the war. His dismissal in 1944 reflected conflict over the conduct of the Eastern Front. His postwar reputation for operational skill coexists with a documented record of criminal responsibility under German occupation.
