Gerhard von Schwerin
Gerhard ("Gerd") Helmuth Detloff Graf von Schwerin (23 June 1899 – 29 October 1980) was a German army General in World War II. As ''General der Panzertruppe'', he was tasked with defending the city of Aachen while in command of the 116th Panzer Division "''Windhund''" (the "Greyhound Division").〔"The Wehrmacht" Episode 5 documentary by Guido Knopp〕
==Second World War==
In July 1939, just weeks before the outbreak of the war, Schwerin, then a Major serving in the intelligence section of the German War Ministry, made a secret approach in London to the British, suggesting that if the British Government abandoned its policy of appeasement towards the Third Reich and moved to a stance of open military opposition towards escalating aggression in Europe, this would provide a rallying point and catalyst for elements in the ''Wehrmacht'' that were willing to stage a coup d'etat against the Nazi government.〔 At a dinner party in Marylebone hosted by Admiral Sir Aubrey Smith, Schwerin met James Stuart, representing the British government, Admiral John Godfrey, head of naval intelligence, and General Sir James Marshall-Cornwall, director general of air and coastal defence, to warn them of Hitler's intention to attack Poland. Schwerin urged that Chamberlain should be replaced as prime minister by Churchill, that a squadron of Royal Navy battleships should be sent to the Baltic, and that Royal Air Force bombers should be stationed in France. These suggestions were passed to Chamberlain, who considered them "provocative".〔Peter Day, ''The Bedbug: Klop Ustinov: Britain's most ingenious spy'' (2015), (pp. 92-93 )〕〔James Marshall-Cornwall, ''Wars and Rumours of Wars'' (1984), p. 125〕 Frank Roberts, the Foreign Office official in the German Department who dealt with the issue, dismissed the approach as purely an internal German matter〔'Tourists of the Revolution', tv documentary, First Circle Films, England (1997)〕 and commented that the German Army seemed to want the British to save them from the Nazis.〔
