Günther von Kluge Quotes
Hans Günther von Kluge was a German field marshal during World War II. Kluge held commands on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. He commanded the 4th Army of the Wehrmacht during Operation Barbarossa and the Battle for Moscow, going on to command Army Group Centre until 1944. Although Kluge was not an active conspirator in the 20 July plot, he either committed suicide, or declined an invitation to kill himself and was subsequently murdered by a frustrated Jürgen Stroop, on 19 August 1944 after having been recalled to Berlin for a meeting with Hitler in the aftermath of the failed coup. He was replaced by Field Marshal Walter Model.
