Erich Hoepner (14 September 1886 – 8 August 1944) was a German general in the Wehrmacht during World War II. As commander of the 4th Panzer Group on the Eastern Front, he pursued a policy of scorched earth, closely cooperated with the Einsatzgruppen and implemented the criminal Commissar Order. Hoepner was implicated in the failed 20 July Plot against Adolf Hitler and executed in 1944.
