Dietrich von Choltitz
General der Infanterie Dietrich Hugo Hermann von Choltitz was a German career military officer who served in the Imperial German Army during World War I and the Wehrmacht during World War II. He is chiefly remembered for his role as the last commander of Nazioccupied Paris in 1944, when he disobeyed Hitlers orders to level the city, but instead surrendered it to Free French forces. He was hailed in many contemporary accounts as the Saviour of Paris for not allowing it to be destroyed.
