He first joined the German Army in WWI where he was wounded in France. During the interwar year he joined the newly formed Reichswehr (army of the Wiemar Republic) where he was posted to a cavalry regiment. Once WWII broke out he served on both the Western & Eastern Fronts with distinction and even commanded the elite Gossdeutschland Panzer-grenadier Division and was awarded the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. In 1944 he was given command of the 5th Panzer Army for the German Winter offensive on the Western front in Dec 1944 that has become known to history as The Battle of the Bulge.

" Hitler’s Children” is a unique documentary film that reveals, for the first time, the ways in which family members of high rank senior Nazi officers from Hitler’s inner circle struggle with the burden of carrying a terror-inducing surname.
During detailed interviews, families such as Goering, Himmler, Hoess amongst others, share the feelings of guilt and responsibility that accompany them in their daily lives.
During his detailed and intensive research, director and producer, Chanoch Ze’evi, third generation of Holocaust survivors, was able to convince direct descendants’ of members of the Nazi regime to speak with him, thereby creating a in-depth and mesmerizing dialogue that tells the story of the Holocaust from a new and original vantage point.
