You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Hellmuth Felmy''' (28 May 1885 – 14 December 1965) was a German general and [[war criminal]] during [[World War II]], commanding forces in occupied Greece and Yugoslavia. A high-ranking [[Luftwaffe]] officer, Felmy was tried and convicted in the 1948 [[Hostages Trial]].

==Biography==
Born Walter Hellmuth Wolfgang Felmÿ on 28 May 1885 in [[Berlin]]<ref>Heiber, pg. 210</ref> to Otto Emil Alexander and Anna Martha Maria [Fleischer] Felmÿ. In 1904, he joined the [[German Army (German Empire)|Imperial Army]] and, in 1912, Felmy went to flight school to become a pilot for the [[Luftstreitkräfte|Imperial Army Air Service]]. During World War I, Felmy commanded a squadron on the [[Middle Eastern theatre of World War I|Turkish Front]]. After the war, he remained in the German military. Felmy alternated between infantry and aviation assignments in the ''[[Reichswehr]]'' of the [[Weimar Republic]]. On 4 February 1938, Felmy was promoted to ''[[General der Flieger]]''.

By the beginning of World War II, Felmy commanded Air Fleet 2 (''[[Luftflotte 2]]'') of the [[Luftwaffe]]. On 12 January, he was dismissed due to the [[Mechelen Incident]] and replaced by [[Albert Kesselring]]. The reputation of his sons, also members of the Luftwaffe, were also tarnished. In an effort to rehabilitate his family he joined the [[Nazi Party]] (against protocol).<ref>Hooton 1999, p. 195.</ref>

In May 1941, Felmy was called up by the High Command of the Armed Forces (''[[Oberkommando der Wehrmacht]]'', or OKW) to be the commander of [[Special Staff F]],<ref>Heiber, pg. 211</ref> the military mission to [[Kingdom of Iraq|Iraq]]. While Felmy was a ''General der Flieger'', he was not responsible for commanding the air force component of the Special Staff.<ref>Lyman, pg. 84</ref> ''Sonderstab F'' lasted from 20 May to 20 June, ending in failure. Felmy commanded the mission in Iraq from [[Axis occupation of Greece|occupied Greece]].

After the failure of the mission to Iraq, Felmy was appointed commander of Army Group Southern Greece (''Befehlshaber Südgriechenland''). From 1942 to 1943, he remained in Greece and commanded a "special deployment" (''zur besonderen Verwendung'', or z. b. V.) unit named after him (''z. b. V. Felmy''). From 1943 to 1944, he commanded the [[LXVIII Army Corps (Germany)|LXVIII Army Corps]] of the German Army. Late in 1944, the LXVIII Corps moved from Greece to [[Yugoslavia]]. From 1944 to 1945, he commanded the [[XXXIV Army Corps (Germany)|XXXIV Army Corps]].<ref>Heiber, pg. 211</ref> In 1945, the XXXIV Corps was defeated during the [[World War II in Yugoslavia#Partisan general offensive|Yugoslav Partisan General Offensive]] of March and April.

In 1948, during the [[Hostages Trial]] in [[Nuremberg]], Felmy was convicted of [[war crimes]] in Greece and was given a sentence of 15 years. His sentence was reviewed by the "[[Peck Panel]]". He was released early, on 15 December 1951. On 14 December 1965, Felmy died in [[Darmstadt]], [[West Germany]].

===Posthumous===
In 2007, Felmy's writings about [[Reichskommissariat Kaukasus#Cossacks, Crimean and Caucasian volunteer units in German forces|Cossacks who fought for the Germans]], along with those of [[Walter Warlimont]], were published in ''The Cossack Corps''.

Felmy's son, [[Hansjörg Felmy]] (1931–2007), was a successful actor and appeared in the films [[Torn Curtain]] and [[Brainwashed (film)|Brainwashed]].
