Doesn't "oberkommando" refer only to the headquarters of the Army, not the Army itself? I'm questioning the German translation given in the intro.Michael Dorosh 16:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Lt General Holste

edit

On page 379 of Berlin the downfall 1945, Beevor reports that Holste abandoned his command of the LXI Panzer Corps and fled to the west. This was much to the disgust of other officers, summed up in the words one of them "You can leave Hitler, because he's a criminal, but you can't leave your soldiers". But that is the only reference to the Holste and his Corps, so was the Corps part of the Twelfth or some other Army like the Ninth? --PBS 19:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
