Page "Heinz Guderian" Paragraph 33

Together with his Panzer staff, Guderian surrendered to American troops on 10 May 1945 and remained in U. S. custody as a prisoner of war until his release on 17 June 1948.

Despite Soviet and Polish government protests, he was not charged with any war crimes during the Nuremberg Trials, as his actions and behaviour were thought to be consistent with those of a professional soldier.
