Lothar Rendulic

Lothar Rendulic (; 23 October 1887 – 17 January 1971) was an Austrian war criminal and army group commander in the Wehrmacht during World War II. Rendulic was one of three Austrians who rose to the rank of ''Generaloberst'' (colonel general) in the German armed forces. The other two were Romanian-born Alexander Löhr and Erhard Raus from Moravia.

Rendulic was tried at the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials in 1948. Though acquitted of deliberate scorched earth tactics in Finland during the Lapland War, he was convicted of killing hostages in Yugoslavia at the Hostages Trial and imprisoned. After his release in 1951 he took up writing. Provided by Wikipedia
