Hoth was convicted on two counts at the High Command Trial in 1948. He was found guilty under count two for implementing the Commissar Order and the unlawful treatment of prisoners of war, and under count three for crimes against humanity consisting of the murder of civilians suspected of being associated with partisans and Jews.
On the 27th of October 1948, Hoth was sentenced to 15 years in prison at Landsberg am Lech. He was released on parole in April 1954, and his sentence was reduced to time served in 1957.
Hoth commanded the 3rd Panzer Group during Operation Barbarossa in 1941, beginning the offensive with 626 tanks. His group broke through Soviet border defenses, helped encircle 300,000 Red Army soldiers at Minsk, captured or destroyed 2,500 tanks, secured crossings of the Daugava river on the 3rd and the 4th of July, and enabled the encirclement of three Soviet armies at the Daugava-Dnieper line.
In November 1941, while commanding the 17th Army, Hoth issued an order of the day calling on troops to exterminate "immediately and pitilessly" any resistance or "machinations on the part of Jewish-Bolshevik agitators". Historian Johannes Hurter argued the order showed Hoth was fully aware of the ongoing Holocaust and was urging his troops to kill Jews not only as alleged enemies but also to prevent future revenge.
After his release, Hoth wrote the book Panzer-Operationen in 1956 and penned articles for the journal Wehrkunde. He worked closely with Paul Carell, a wartime German propagandist, to produce Unternehmen Barbarossa (1963), a book that supported the myth of the clean Wehrmacht and ignored the Holocaust. Hoth also spoke publicly against German historians who highlighted Nazi-era crimes.
Hoth planned and led Operation Winter Storm, the attempt to relieve the encircled German 6th Army at Stalingrad. His understrength force began the relief attempt on the 12th of December 1942 under Erich von Manstein's Army Group Don, but was stalled at Verkhnekumsky and could not break through before Operation Little Saturn collapsed the German flanks. By the 25th of December 1942, the relief attempt had failed.
