Geisler, Hans (1891–1966) German
Luftwaffe general
Hans Geisler's military career began in the German
Navy, which he entered on April 1, 1909. During
World War I, he served mainly as an air observer in
the naval aviation branch, transferring to the newly
formed Luftwaffe on September 1, 1933. Geisler
commanded X Fliegerkorps during the Invasion of
Norway in 1940, the Luftwaffe element of the
entire invasion. Air support was crucial to the success
of German operations in Norway, and Lieutenant
General Geisler was awarded the Knight's
Cross for the part he played in the Norwegian
Campaign. He continued to command X Fliegerkorps
until August 23, 1942, then retired from
active duty on October 31, 1942, with the rank of
general der flieger (general of the air force).
