Article
Hans Otto Wilhelm Eugen Krebs (4 March 1898 – 2 May 1945) was a German Army general of infantry who served during World War II. A career soldier, he served in the Imperial German Army, Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht’s Heer. He served as the last Chief of Staff of the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH) for the Wehrmacht High Command (OKW) during the final phase of the war in Europe (1 April to 1 May 1945). Krebs tried to open negotiations to surrender with the Red Army, which failed; he committed suicide in the Führerbunker during the early hours of 2 May 1945, two days after Adolf Hitler killed himself.
