Article
Siegmund Wilhelm Walther List (14 May 1880 – 17 August 1971) was a German war criminal and Generalfeldmarschall (Field Marshal) of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
List was a professional soldier in the Bavarian Army and served as a staff officer on the Western Front during World War I. List was a leading military training official of the Reichswehr in the interwar period. List commanded the 14th Army of the Wehrmacht in the invasion of Poland in 1939 and the 12th Army in the invasion of France in 1940 for which he was promoted to Field Marshal. List successfully commanded the 12th Army in the Balkans Campaign including the invasion of Yugoslavia and invasion of Greece in April 1941, overseeing anti-partisan operations until his resignation that October. List was appointed commander of Army Group A on the Eastern Front in July 1942, responsible for the main thrust towards the Caucasus during Case Blue. List's military and political disagreements with Adolf Hitler led to him being removed of his command and forced into retirement in September 1942.
