These two would complete the Army Commanders "died in the face of the enemy". (3)
This is a request (start of a series) for a final re-check simultanously and/or to compile a footnote for the Factbook or to improve an existing entry. Especially the locations and circumstances are of interest. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

11. Armee
Generaloberst Eugen Ritter von Schobert (25 Oct 1940 - 12 Sep 1941) (KIA) (1)
[...]
Footnotes
1. Eugen Ritter von Schobert was killed 12 September 1941 when his Fieseler Storch aircraft landed in a Soviet minefield.

Who was the Army Group Commander killed in action?

Does the list include Field Marshal von Bock, killed by allied air attack on 4 May 1945? Was he the highest ranking officer, of any army, killed by enemy action in World War II?

Today I examined the HPA file for Laux, it contains the following:
"Gen d Inf. Laux ist am 2.9.44 im Feldlaz 158 Riga an den Folgen seiner am 30.8.44 durch Flugzeugabschuss erlittenen schweren Verwundungen erlegen."

The entry in Tätigkeitsbericht des Chefs des Heerespersonalamtes giving a date of 29.08.1944 is probably a mistake.

Regards

John

Thanks John for the re-check and correction of the LAUX data. I have made a post in the Corrections & Additions forum http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 8&t=134667
I agree, the "Tätigkeitsbericht" shows a mistake. See also my post above - the nephew of Obtlt. Hartmann speaks about the 30th .

Hello,

two cases not mentioned so far:

Oberst Bruno Chrobek was shot by a Soviet marksman while inspecting positions of his regiment (Grenadier-Regiment 673) in the area of Dmitrijewka (western flank of Stalingrad pocket) on Dec 10th, 1942. Posthumously he was promoted to Generalmajor.
(Zank, 2012, p.46)

Generalleutnant Ludwig Kirschner was shot by a Soviet marksman while inspecting positions of his division (320. Volksgrenadier-Division) in the area of Saybusch, Galicia on Feb 11th, 1945.
(Hasemann, 1952, p.157)
