Close.
He was the first and only general from this country to be killed by enemy action.

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
No, not him, but you have the correct country.
I guess Glogojanu was technically was killed by enemy action, but I was thinking more of a "combat" death in a forward area and not a death as the result of a booby trap explosion in a building.

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
Ladies and Gentleman, Ike has come through in the clutch with the answer.
I had his name as Alecu Ioan Sion.
Give him a round of applause.
Now the torment begins...

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
Here's an easy one. Is pictured here as a Waffen SS Oberfuhrer but last held rank was SS Brigadefuhrer and one of my favorites.

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
Yup. Easy like I said. Last command was that of the 12 SS Panzer Divsion Hitlerjugend and was killed when his HQ was bombarded. Panzer Meyer took over. All yours

Man that was quick. You are correct. Sperrle rivaled Goring in taste for art, loot, uniform medals, food and weight.

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
alright a hint: he was executed by firing squad in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, for his role as the commander of the German Air Force units involved in the Bombing of Belgrade in 1941.
