Johannes Blaskowitz (1883 - 1948) was a German soldier having served in both World War I and World War II. During the first World War, he served on both the Eastern Front and the Western Front.

His involvement in the second World War saw him involved with the invasion of Poland as Commander of the German 8th Army. He was relieved as Commander of the 8th Army in 1940 due to his outspoken views involving the treatment of ethnic Polish and Jews. During the remainder of the war he was stationed in France and the Netherlands,which saw him posted to the German 9th Army and Army Group G, respectively.

After the War, Blaskowitz was charged by the United States with War Crimes, but he committed suicide on February 5, 1948 by jumping out of his cell window at Nuremberg prison.
