Guderian, at Schwangau? Can't figure out exactly when Hoth got out of prison, but it seems possible.

No. Review the names of all five mentioned attendees (but four should be sufficient) for a pointed intersection."This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

I was wounded when my command element was bombed by friendly air-forces on the cusp of a great achievement in an important battle. I DID NOT die of those wounds."This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

I was eulogized by Herman Hoth and my burial was attended by my wife, Field Marshal Von Manstein, and Generals Raus and Kempf.
Who am I and where did I die?
Raus died in 1956
So it is either a WW2 funeral or occured between 1954-56
Guderian fits the time-lime but not the wounding.

And of the fourth male mentioned attending, also a general...
Where do their names intersect?"This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

They intersect at Kursk
That leaves these names as possible contenders assuming a general officer.
General-Leutnant Hermann Kress
General-Major Walther von Hünersdorff
General der Infanterie Hans Zorn

Where's your intersection of clues and when did Kress die?
What unit did Zorn command again and who attended MY funeral?"This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

Kress did die on that date but my information says he died as Cdr. 4th Gebirgsjager Division as part of 17th Armee much further south near Kuban and Novorossiysk.
IIRC, Zorn commanded XLVI Panzer Corps in 9th Armee under Model.
(EDIT- Sorry, you said the same thing last post)
Walther Von Hunersdorff commanded 6 Pz Div as part of III Pz Corps, Armee Abteilung Kempf at Kursk. He is the correct answer.
Good job. Your question, sir.Last edited by S2; 11 Jan 08,, 12:23."This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

Some of the rifles (as later had to be done for South Viet Namese soldiers) had to have the stocks cut back one-inch because of the shorter stature of the average Asian. Therefore a lot of ROK soldiers opted for the M-1 Carbine.Able to leap tall tales in a single groan.
