Hans-Gustav Felber (July 8, 1889 – March 8, 1962) was a general in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II.

During August 1943, Felber was appointed Militärbefehlshaber Südost, under whose command were all German troops in Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Greece.

[1] German Foreign Ministry delegate for Balkans Hermann Neubacher and Felber considered that punitive measures against population(1:50) were no longer in interests of Germany, as they wanted better relations with Nedić's government, which August Meyszner, Higher SS officer and police leader for Serbia, opposed.

Despite arguing for lesser punitive measures, under Felber Germans executed over 2000 hostages in first two months of his rule, more than in the same period of previous year.

On December 22 new lesser punitive measures were approved, and it was applied for entire Balkans not just Serbia.
