Theodor Busse

Theodor Busse (15.12.1897 - 21.10.1986) was a German general who commanded the 9th Army during the Battle of Berlin. Busse was supposed to link with Walther Wenck's 12th Army and strike the Soviet forces from the south east. The plan failed, and Adolf Hitler was appropriately enraged.

Busse's name is mentioned once in Downfall, when Hitler says: "Sagen Sie Busse, er soll kämpfen, wo er steht!" (Tell Busse he should fight where he is!)
