German military officer (b. Dec. 30, 1906, Hofgeismar, Ger.—d. May 26, 2006, Bonn, Ger.), was the first German commander in chief of NATO forces in Central Europe (1966–68), after having served in the armies of the Weimar Republic, the
Third Reich, and West Germany in a military career that spanned more than 40 years. During World War II, Kielmansegg was a logistics officer of a panzer division on both the Western and the Eastern fronts. He spent some time on the general staff in Berlin and was briefly jailed after being implicated in the July 20, 1944, assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler. After the war Kielmansegg denounced dismissals of the Holocaust and was involved in the rebuilding of the West German army, in which he rose to the rank of general. He was named to the post of Commander in Chief Allied Forces Central Europe when France formally withdrew its armed forces from NATO in 1966. He retired in 1968.
