This is the fourth and final book in a series on the life of German Generalleleutnant Fritz Bayerlein, chief of staff to Ernst Rommel and commander of the Panzer Lehr Division. The volume introduces and presents a translated version of Bayerlein's file from the post-war Denazification Tribunal, in which he defended his wartime conduct and which also touched upon many aspects of his pre-war life. The volume also includes details from a September 1941 investigation by the Gestapo into Bayerlein's actions stopping the beating of a sick Russian prisoner by a prison guard.
