Biography
German officer in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany and member of the resistance to Adolf Hitler.
Lindemann served as commander of the 132nd Infantry Division from January 1942 to August 1943, before appointment as Chief of Staff of the Artillery Oberkommando des Heeres.
Lindemann developed contacts with conspirators against Adolf Hitler including General Helmuth Stieff and following the assassination of Hitler it was proposed that he would read the conspirators proclamation to the German people over the radio, but he did not appear at the Bendlerblock on 20 July 1944 in order to do so. After the failure of the 20 July plot coup attempt he went into hiding. He was seriously wounded during his arrest by the Gestapo in September 1944 and died in hospital from his injuries on the 22nd of that month. Erich and Elisabeth Gloeden, Elisabeth Kuznitzky, Hans Sierks and Carl Marks were executed for helping him.
