Wolf Graf von Baudissin

Wolf Graf von Baudissin (8 May 1907 – 5 June 1993) was a German general, military planner and peace researcher.

He was captured by Australian troops in North Africa in 1941, and sent to Australia, where he was held in the Dhurringile prisoner-of-war camp in Victoria.

He organized classes in which German prisoners with particular knowledge or expertise taught their comrades in various subjects and prepared them for life after the war.

In 1956 he helped to create the new German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, receiving the rank of colonel, and soon headed a tank brigade.

On 19 April 1994, the hall of the Bundeswehr's Zentrum Innere Führung" in Koblenz was renamed "Forum Wolf Graf von Baudissin".
