Generaloberst Franz Halder (1884 - 1972), 1938 bis 1942 Chef des Generalstabes des Heeres, beteiligt an allen Angriffsplanungen der Wehrmacht wie den Angriff auf Polen, Frankreich und die Sowjetunion, sowie einer der Verfasser des Kriegsgerichtsbarkeitserlass und des berüchtigten "Kommisarbefehles". 1942 entlassen.Nach dem Krieg arbeitete er für die US Army Historical Division und versuchte, ganz im Gegensatz zu seinem früheren Handeln, den Mythos einer sauberen und unschuldigen Wehrmacht zu erhalten. Dafür erhielt er 1961 die zweithöchste zivile Auszeichnung der US-Armee für ausländische Zivilangestellte, den Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Wohl der einzige Deutsche der von Hitler und dem amerikanischen Präsidenten ausgezeichnet wurde.
Provenienz: Aus direktem Familienbesitz. Ein unterschriebener Brief sowie Fotos bezeugen den Verkauf an einen amerikanischen Sammler 1973.

Franz Halder (30 June 1884 – 2 April 1972) was a German general and the chief of staff of the Army High Command (OKH) in Nazi Germany from 1938 until September 1942. During World War II, he directed the planning and implementation of Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. In 1937 he met and became a loyal supporter of Adolf Hitler. Later, during the summer of 1941, Halder engaged in a long-running and divisive dispute with Hitler over strategy eventually leading Hitler removing Halder from command in September 1942. After the 20 July 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler, Halder was arrested as it came to light that he had been involved in an earlier plot, leading to his imprisonment. As chief of OKH General Staff, he had kept extensive notes, later published as The Halder Diaries. After World War II Halder served as a lead consultant for the US Army Historical Division had a decisive role in the development of the myth of the clean Wehrmacht. In 1961, he was awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award, becoming the only German ever to be decorated both by Hitler and by an American president. The praise which he received starkly contrasted with the reality of his military career and the atrocities on the Eastern Front.
Provenance: From Franz Holder's family. Signed letter and photos confirming the sale in 1973 to American Collector.
