World War II Max von Hartlieb-Walsporn (20 October 1883 – 25 July 1959) was a German army officer who served as a Wehrmacht general during the Second World War.

[2] As commander of this division, he participated in the Battle of France of 1940, but he came to be seen as a weak leader when the lightly defended French town of Le Quesnoy was able to resist his armoured forces for some four days.

Wounded on 19 May 1942, Hartlieb-Walsporn was hospitalized for almost five months and spent several more months in reserve before accepting other administrative posts over the remainder of the war.
