=== Imprisonment ===
On 23 July 1944, after the failed [[20 July Plot|20 July assassination attempt on Hitler's life]] by German Army officers, the [[Gestapo]] arrested Halder. Although he was not involved in 20 July plot, intense interrogations of the conspirators revealed that Halder had been involved in earlier conspiracies against Hitler. Halder was imprisoned at both the [[Flossenbürg concentration camp|Flossenbürg]] and [[Dachau concentration camp]]s. Halder's wife Gertrud chose, and was allowed, to accompany her husband into imprisonment. He had no complaints about the quarters or provisions and was not treated poorly. He was in VIP company that included former French premier [[Leon Blum]] and former Austrian Chancellor [[Kurt Schuschnigg]].{{sfn|Smelser|Davies|2008|pp=62–63}} On 31 January 1945, Halder was officially dismissed from the army. In the last days of April 1945, together with other ''special'' prisoners, he was [[Transport of concentration camp inmates to Tyrol|transferred to the South Tyrol]] where he was liberated by [[US troops]].{{sfn|Hartmann|1991}}
