Heinz Guderian
The "Blutfahne" was last seen in public at the "Volkssturm" induction ceremony on 18 October 1944 ("not", as frequently reported, at "Gauleiter" Adolf Wagner's funeral six months previously). This ceremony was conducted by Heinrich Himmler and attended by Wilhelm Keitel, Heinz Guderian, Hans Lammers, Martin Bormann, Karl Fiehler, Wilhelm Schepmann and Erwin Kraus.
