Heinz Guderian (17 June 1888 – 14 May 1954) was a Nazi German World War II general and tank commander, theorist of tank combat and one of the developers of blitzkrieg strategy. He was not charged with any war crimes during the Nuremberg Trials since his actions and behavior were ruled to be consistent with those of a professional soldier. Heinz Guderian died at the age of 65, in Schwangau near Füssen (Southern Bavaria) and is buried at the Friedhof Hildesheimerstrasse in Goslar.More
