Death
After the war, Brauchitsch was arrested and charged with war crimes, but died in Hamburg in 1948 before he could be prosecuted.
Brauchitsch was the uncle of Manfred von Brauchitsch, a 1930s Mercedes-Benz "Silver Arrow" Grand Prix driver, and Hans Bernd and Werner von Haeften, both members of the German resistance against Hitler. Brauchitsch was a strong admirer of Feldmarschall Helmuth von Moltke and used to linger in his former office that was made into a museum at a later date.
