An aristocratic officer, the monocle-wearing General von Saucken came from Prussian nobility and had little time for the Nazis political agenda. He was one of the few high-ranking members of the Wehrmacht who was neither intimidated by Hitler's intense ravings nor hypnotized by the charisma of the Fuhrer. Known as a defence and counter-attack specialist, after halting numerous Red Army offensives, von Saucken gained the Oak Leaves and Swords to his Knight's Cross. His mobile counter-attack expertise was once again called upon during the Soviet summer offensive of 1944. He led Kampfgruppe von Saucken against Marshal Rotmistrov's 5th Guards Tank Army and though casualties were high, and while stopping the overwhelming force of the Soviet advance proved impossible, von Saucken's blocking actions allowed many German units to escape westward, avoiding annihilation or capture.
