Erich von Manstein
Erich von Manstein was a man who lived a long time ago and was born in Germany. He was a soldier and was very good at fighting in wars. He was very smart and came up with plans that helped his army win battles. He was especially good at moving his troops around quickly and surprising his enemies.
During World War II, Manstein became a very important commander in Germany's army. He was in charge of leading many big battles, and he was very successful. But some people say he was also very mean and did bad things to other people.
Despite his successes, Germany eventually lost the war, and Manstein was punished for his actions. Even though he was never put in prison, he was banned from working for the government and could not leave his house for a long time.
