16. Generalkommando( ?? - ??)

Governor of Part of a Partitioned, Defeated Roumania

Salis-Seewis was then part of the military courts, but soon tired of this. In October 1917, by his own devises, Salis-Seewis resumed frontline service as commander of the 92. Inf. Div. This division was stationed on the Moldavian Front, and Salis-Seewis was tapped to be the leader of Generalkommando Rumänien, which governed Austrian-occupied territory from the town of Pitesti, in central Wallachia, some 100 km west of Bucharest; he was directly subordinate to General August von Mackensen, the German military governor of occupied Roumania. His final wartime duty involved the 16. Generalkommando, which he led until the war's end, basically policing rural Roumania, which was increasingly dangerous thanks to “green cadres” operating against the occupation forces. After the war came to an end, Salis-Seewis was still promoted to Feldzeugmeister on 11 November 1918.

With no prospect of furthering his career, Salis-Seewis retired on the 1 January 1919, and moved to Croatia, which was then part of the new Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Although he was governor of Serbia, and therefore responsible for enforcing the requisition of foodstuffs, animals, and policing dissidents with a heavy hand, the government at Belgrade did not find any evidence of criminal activity and allowed him to live in peace at Zagreb.

Johann Graf von Salis-Seewis died on 24 October 1940 in Zagreb, Jugoslavia.
