In spite of this, he was fired by [[Adolf Hitler]] after he disagreed with his order to hold firm against the Soviet counter-offensive in 1941-42 outside of Moscow.
In 1944 Guderian was appointed again as chief-of-staff to the German Army High Command, but was again fired in March 1945 because he recommended making peace with the Allies.
