Talk:Rüdiger von der Goltz

Untitled
In the article a statement reads as follows and I quote: "Goltz also led troops as part of the 1920 Kapp Putsch. In the interwar years he was part of the right wing Harzburg Front, and in 1934 and was leader of the largely politically uninfluential right wing German State Party."

Goltz did not take any active part in the so-called Kapp Putsch. He has been asked to participate, but he refused and later stated that he might have considered it had they offered to him the post of 'Commander in chief'. Furthermore he was not leader of the "German State Party" but of the mainly monarchist Vereinigte Vaterlaendische Verbaende which got abolished in 1933 after Hitler was appointed Chancellor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.144.144 (talk) 02:55, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Can anyone find more information on his life during World War 2? -Colin MacDonald

When Hitler came to power, he was already 68 years old and at the beginning of world war two, he was 74. So he was no longer active in the army and had a purely private life. He lived during the war first in his house in Berlin and later in the farmhouse of his son, Rüdiger Joachim Graf v.d. Goltz (Rechtsanwalt), in Kinsegg, Allgäu, Germany. He is the last General of the family. All his decendants have or had non-militay professions. By the way: He is not the son of Colmar. Colmar is the oncle generation, related yes, but not to close.
