Hans Cramer - last a very high decorated General of the Panzertruppe - must be described as a controversial personality. As a high-ranking officer, he was returning home from British captivity in 1944 because of a reportedly serious illness. As a result, he always had to be at least the source of false information about the planned landing of the Allies in France, or even as paternal traitor.
In his report, which he wrote at the end of the war, he recalled and reflected on his idea of being soldier, national socialism, and his experiences during all phases of the war: with his reconnaissance unit during the Polish and French campaigns, as commander of the Panzer Regiment 8 in Africa, as General of the Rapid Troops, especially on the Eastern Front, and as the last commanding General of the Afrikakorps in a hopeless situation. In May 1943 he went into British captivity with the troops of the Corps - into the famous Officers' Camp Trent Park.
