Answer

Von Rundstedt was first relieved of his command in 1941. This decision was made following his role in the failed attack on Moscow during Operation Barbarossa. Although he was initially successful in capturing large swaths of territory, the German army was unable to secure a decisive victory and was eventually forced to retreat.
