Hi

I was wondering if there are books giving a list of all German Heer(Luftwaffe would be a bonus) Generals in WW2?

Thanks

There are three new volumes coming out this year by Mr Jack Webb. They can be found for pre-order on amazon. I have been lucky enough to see a draft of volume 1 and these will certainly be a must on all book shelves.

Jack is among the most diligent and productive researchers I've ever known, and has been exceedingly generous to me in sharing his findings over the years.

I wish him all possible success with this much-needed series on the senior officers of the Wehrmacht.

Best wishes,
~ Mike

Although incomplete and defunct since 2009, Axis Biographical Research still exists and includes a great many Heer Generals, all Luftwaffe Generals, and all Admirals of the Kriegsmarine. It may be accessed here: http://www.oocities.org/~orion47/index2.html

Best wishes,

DIE GENERALE DES HEERES by Wolf Keilig can still be found for sale.
And multi volume series Deutschlands Generale und Admirale by Karl Friedrich Hildebrand. The Luftwaffe Generals volumes run to three books.

Hi,
It should be a good job, although I can’t imagine how more than 5,000 generals and admirals in books of a little more than 1.000 pages can be fitted.
Best regards
