From Wikipedia...By the time of the attack on Poland, in September 1939, he was an Oberleutnant in a motorised infantry company, and went on to serve in the Balkans Campaign, as well as in Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. By April 1942, he was a battalion commander, and he joined the Infantry Regiment Großdeutschland, in order to lead the special-weapons 4th (Heavy) Battalion, which supported the three rifle battalions of the elite regiment. By February 1943, he commanded the 1st (armoured) battalion of Grenadier Regiment Grossdeutschland (GD), after the original Infantry Regiment GD expanded to become a full division. His troops, mounted in halftracks, covered the withdrawal of an entire Waffen-SS tank corps during the fighting at Kharkov. He was awarded the Knight\'s Cross for his service as battalion commander, and in November 1943, he was awarded the Oak leaves to the Knight\'s Cross for leadership at Krivoi Rog, which was presented by Adolf Hitler personally.

In March 1944, after being wounded, Major Remer was chosen to command the Infantry Regiment Großdeutschland.

During this time, Remer and his men successfully stopped the 20 July plot to seize control of the German government, following an assassination attempt on Hitler. On 20 July 1944, an explosion took place at Adolf Hitler\'s army headquarters, \"Wolf\'s Lair\", in East Prussia. Otto Ernst Remer first heard of it through members of the Nazi Party and waited for official word of Hitler\'s fate. Remer heard both rumours that Hitler survived and rumours saying he died in the blast.

That evening Claus Von Stauffenberg was given control of Germany and its power because the military was convinced that Hitler did not survive the assassination attempt. Stauffenberg and his staff had Remer arrest several Nazi officials, claiming that they were arming defence from a mutiny. Upon being ordered by General Paul von Hase to arrest Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, Remer went to Goebbels\' office to do so, pistol in hand. However, Goebbels used his oratory skills to dissuade Remer from arresting him, insisting instead that Hitler was still alive. When Remer asked for proof, Goebbels picked up the phone and asked to be put through to Hitler. Within the minute, Hitler was on the phone, and Goebbels handed the receiver to Remer. Hitler asked Remer whether he recognised his voice, whereupon Remer answered that he did. Hitler then gave Remer orders to crush the plot with his troops. Remer guiltily realised that he and his men actually were taking orders from the mutineers and unwittingly supporting it. Remer and his troops reversed the results from given orders from the plotters. Slowly the plotters were stripped of controls from Germany thus confusing the plotters and postponing the mutiny to figure out the confusion. Then Remer went to the Berlin Nazi base and arrested the plotters including Stauffenberg. Friedrich Fromm had the plotters executed but Remer unsuccessfully tried to dissuade Fromm since Remer was told to keep the plotters alive. That same night Remer was promoted two ranks to Oberst (colonel).

Remer discussed this incident in the British TV documentary series The World At War, produced in the early 1970s. He showed respect for Britain and former enemies of Germany but appeared to have no regrets about his role in crushing the plot, nor the war in general. The same was true of his appearance as himself (coaching a young actor who was to portray him) in the German language documentary drama about the 20 July assassination attempt, filmed by the German historian Joachim Fest.
