The BRUTAL End of German General Disobeyed HlTLER to Save 20,000 Men from the Falaise Pocket

On the afternoon of August 16, 1944, General Paul Hausser made a decision that would later define the brutal end of a German general who disobeyed Hltler to save 20,000 men from the Falaise Pocket. With American forces pushing north from Argentan and Canadian troops closing in from Falaise, Hausser saw the gap shrinking toward annihilation. Hltler’s order was absolute—hold position and counterattack—but Hausser quietly authorized withdrawals disguised as “tactical repositioning,” allowing thousands of Seventh Army soldiers to escape before the trap closed. The army survived because he broke the rules, and history would remember him not for obedience, but for choosing his men over Hltler’s command.
