(1877 - 1967) German general during World War II and commander of Army Group North Rear Area behind Army Group North from March 1941 to April 1943, largely in Belarus. These territories were the sites of mass murder during the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity targeting the civilian population, with commanders operating in cooperation with SS leaders appointed by Heinrich Himmler. T.L.S. 1p. 4to., Treysa, Nov. 22, 1962, to an American researcher, in part: ‘...Although I am willing to answer questions, I can’t say whether I am able to do it…I could not find out from Colonel Rinharrt. However, I would like to note from the onset that my position during the war was at the front and not directly involved in the events and therefore [do not have] reliable information about it…’. Mailing folds, otherwise fine.
