1878-1946. German soldier and Nazi
politician, minister of defence 1933-35,
minister of war, and head of the Wehrmacht
(army) 1935-38 under Hitler's chancellorship.
He was discredited by his marriage to a
prostitute and dismissed in Jan 1938,
enabling Hitler to exercise more direct
control over the armed forces. In spite of
his removal from office, Blomberg was put on
trial for war crimes in 1946 at Nuremberg.
