Robert Martinek (2 February 1889 – 28 June 1944) was an artillery officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I, the Austrian ''Bundesheer'' and, during World War II, in the ''Wehrmacht Heer'', who came to be regarded as one of the most skilled artillerymen of his generation. ==Military service== Martinek was born on 2 February 1889 in Gratzen (now Nové Hrady, Czech Republic), where his father was a brewer. Enlisting in the army of Austria-Hungary in 1907, he was promoted to ''Leutnant'' in 1910, ''Oberleutnant'' in 1914, and to ''Hauptmann'' in 1917 for outstanding bravery. Serving with the ''Bundesheer'' after World War I, he taught at (and during the 1930s, headed) the Austrian military's Artillery School, and was responsible for a number of technical innovations. After the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, Martinek continued to serve with the ''Wehrmacht Heer''. He commanded the 267th Infantry Division from late 1941–1942, and the 7th Mountain Division during 1942. He was in command of the extremely heavy concentrations of artillery at the Battle of Sevastopol (including the huge Dora and Mörser Karl siege artillery). On 1 December 1942 Martinek was promoted to ''Generalleutnant'' and took command of XXXIX Panzer Corps, with which he saw a number of actions on the Eastern Front; at the beginning of 1943 he was again promoted to ''General der Artillerie''. Martinek was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. His notes from World War I were published as ''Kriegstagebuch eines Batterie-Kommandanten 1914–1918''; he was also the subject of a book by Erich Dethleffsen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Martinek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
