A little research helps:

It was General Kurt von Schleicher whom the Nazis murdered during the Night of Long Knives (when Hitler took out Ernst Roehm and the Sturm Abteilung (SA)).

It was von Fritsch whom the Nazis charged (falsely) with being a homosexual and retired him early. He was the one who died in Poland in 1939.

According to the book Who's Who In WWII Fritsch was the last person in the Army who might have stood up to Hitler. The Commander in Chief of the German Army, Field Marshall Werner von Blomberg, who was also Hitler's first War Minister, was forced from office in 1938 because of a second marriage to a woman reputed to have been a prostitute. That trumped up charge, along with the later accusations against Fritsch, paved the way for the retirement of 16 high ranking generals, incuding von Leeb and von Rundstedt, and the transfer of of 44 others to new commands. The Nazis were then able to put their picked officrs in place.
