After this he was given command of the 7th [[Panzer]] division, because of his wonderful work at HQ.

He later went on to [[El Alamein]], [[Egypt]], but had been hampered by a lack of supplies and was defeated. He was in charge of Army Group B in Normandy when the [[D-Day]] operation began, but was not present when the invasion itself began.
