Common card · No. 423744

Alexis Freiherr von Rönne (22 February 1903 – 12 October 1944) was a German Army colonel and senior intelligence analyst. He became one of Hitler's favoured officers in the Abwehr (German military intelligence), despite secretly being of anti-Nazi persuasion. Later, in the aftermath of the 20 July Plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, von Roenne was arrested and interrogated by the Gestapo on account of his links with many of the conspirators. Although not directly involved in the plot, he was nonetheless tried and executed.
