Henning von Tresckow
Henning von Tresckow (January 10 1901 – July 21 1944) was a Major General in the German Wehrmacht.
In the winter 1939/40 he served as general staff officer under von Rundstedt and Erich von Manstein in Army Group A.
From November 20 1943 he served under Field Marshal Günther von Kluge as Chief of staff of the German Army Group Center in the Soviet Union until his death.
Although at first a sympathizer of National Socialism, he became an enemy of Hitler in 1938 and was active in the military resistance. He developed several assassination plots against Hitler and Himmler, but all failed.
Von Tresckow killed himself in a pretended partisan attack after Claus von Stauffenberg's assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler and the following coup in Berlin (July 20,1944) had failed.
