[edit] Leningrad

A totally misleading article, nothing said about Leeb's fatal mistake in rushing his armies to capture Leningrad in a hope of easy victory and defeat he suffered in the battle of Tikhvin, which was a major battle of the early period of the WWII on the Eastern Front. See David Glantz, The Battle for Leningrad, 1941-1944 (Lawrence, KS, 2002).

This comment was originally posted by Tracadero on 18 February 2007. I'm moving the text from the article to the discussion page.

I'm moving this issue here to be tracked and have no comment on this particular feedback other than that it should not be in the article.

[edit] Relations with Nazi's

This section states: "After the war, Von Leeb was tried by a American military tribunal in Nuremberg in the High Command Trial. Due to a confusion of documents, Von Leeb was found guilty on one of four charges and sentenced to three years imprisonment; but he was released after the judgment because he had already spent more time in custody. He spent his last years living quietly with his family until his death in Füssen in 1956." The Bold text is confusing to me, and I believe it can be for many others. Does it mean a. That he was WRONGFULLY found guilty because of the confusion of the documents (meaning he was not guilty of any of the charges) OR b. That he was found guilty of ONLY one charge due to confusion of the documents (meaning he was actually guilty of more or all of the four charges, while only being found guilty of one)?? I don't know anything about his guy or his history, but found this ambiguity in the text... Mkruijff (talk) 17:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
