Gotthard Heinrici was born in Gumbinnen, Germany, on 25th December, 1886. He joined the German Army in 1906 and during the First World War served on both the Western Front and the Eastern Front.
After the war Heinrici remained in the army and in 1936 was promoted to the rank of Major General. During the Western Offensive Heinrici commanded the 12th Corps and managed to break through the Maginot Line on 14th June 1940.
Heinrici took part in Operation Barbarossa in the Soviet Union and while serving under Heinz Guderian in the 2nd Panzer Army was awarded the Iron Cross.
Promoted to the rank of General in January 1942, Heinrici was given command of the 4th Army. Over the next two years he developed successful defensive strategies against the Red Army. This included withdrawing and then counterattacking advancing forces.
In August 1944 Heinrici was appointed commander of the 1st Panzer Army. In March 1945, Heinrici succeeded Heinrich Himmler as Army Group Vistula. When Heinrici rejected Hitler's command to hold Berlin at all costs he was relieved of his command on 28th April 1945. Gotthard Heinrici died on 13th December 1971.

Since General Heinrici en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Heinrici did not intend to defend Berlin, the capture of the city and the end of the regime seemed likely within a few days. In fact Hitler, as I was informed by SS General Berger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottlob_Berger and also Eva Braun, had wanted to take his own life on April 22 But Heinrici had meanwhile been replaced by General Student, commander of the parachute troops. Hitler regarded him as one of his most energetic officers and felt he could depend upon him all the more in this situation because he thought the man was rather stupid. This change in personnel alone revived his courage. Simultanelously Keitel and Jodl were commanded to throw all available divisions into the fight for Berlin. ` Page 564
