In January 1942 Hitler personally signed an order stripping him of his rank his pension his right to wear a uniform and his right to be called a soldier. He did it because Hoepner retreated without permission to save his men from encirclement. Hoepner fought the order in court. He lost. Two years later he joined the July 20 Plot to assassinate Hitler. The bomb went off. Hitler survived. Hoepner was arrested tried in a show trial and hanged on a piano wire at Plötzensee Prison in August 1944. The execution was filmed.
