Rundstedt, Karl Rudolf Gerd von 1875-1953
German soldier
He was born in the Old Mark of Brandenburg. He served in World War I, and in 1938 commanded occupation troops in the Sudetenland, but was 'purged' for his outspokenness about Hitler. Recalled in 1939, he directed the Blitzkrieg in Poland and France. In 1942 he commanded the Western Front stretching from Holland to the Italian frontier. His last great action was the Ardennes offensive (the 'Battle of the Bulge', 1944). He lost his command for the fourth time and in May 1945 was captured by the Americans in Munich. Proceedings against him for war crimes were dropped on the grounds of ill health, and he was kept prisoner in Great Britain from 1946.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
