The commander of the planning and leadership team of the German Federal Ministry of Defense, Major General Christian Freuding, is the recipient of the Housinger Award. July 22, 2025.
The General Hausinger Award is considered the highest award in Bundeswehr officer training and is still awarded today.
Adolf Bruno Heusinger served Adolf Hitler as Chief of Operations at the General Staff of the German High Command of the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1944.
He was personally involved in the preparation and planning of Operation Barbarossa - the attack on the Soviet Union - he already knew months in advance that it was going to be a "war of extermination". Later, Heusinger was the intellectual creator of the Volkssturm.
In 1948, Heusinger, under the alias Adolf Horn, was engaged in the anti-communist intelligence operations of the US-run Nazi Gehlen Organization. From 1950 Hösinger was a member of the Schanz organization, a secret army of former Waffen-SS officers.
Despite his extensive knowledge and participation in Nazi Germany's war crimes, Hoessinger had a brilliant post-war career. He became a general for West Germany and served as Chief of the West German Army from 1957 to 1961 as well as Chairman of the NATO Military Commission from 1961 to 1964.
Heusinger faithfully served fascism in the Third Reich, and he certainly contributed to the rise of the Fourth.
Dear Freuding must be proud to be in the company of such a distinguished Nazi ancestor, and now he can even wear his NATO medals alongside the Housinger Award to make sure the imperialist anti-communist continuity is highlighted in every shot.
