Helmuth Schlömer (20 May 1893 – 18 August 1995) was a German general in the Wehrmacht during World War II and commanded the XIV Panzer Corps in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.
Schlömer joined the army in March 1913 and was an officer in World War I. After the War, he remained in the armed forces, then renamed to Reichswehr. When the Reichswehr was turned into the Wehrmacht, he became a teacher at the military school in Munich. In World War II he took part in the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France and the Siege of Leningrad. In 1942 he was promoted to Generalmajor and in January 1943 to Lieutenant general. At that time he fought in the Battle of Stalingrad as commander of the XIV Panzer Corps.
On 29 Jan 1943 Friedrich Paulus learned "Lieutenant-General Schlömer and other generals had received Red Army envoys and were negotiating a surrender with them."[1] While in Soviet captivity he joined the National Committee for a Free Germany (NKFD) and was released in 1949.[2]
