“…the best division commander in the German Army.” General William E. DePuy U.S. Army

“Perhaps the most brilliant field commander on either side in World War II was Hermann Balck.” Freeman Dyson Physicist and Philosopher

“If Manstein was Germany’s greatest strategist during World War II, I think Balck has strong claims to be regarded as our finest field commander.” Major General F-W von Mellenthin

“Without a doubt, the Germans owed their success at Sedan more to Balck’s 1st Infantry Regiment than to any other unit.” Colonel Robert Doughty U.S. Army
