As far as I can trace the oldest General during WW2 was the American Charles Keller who retired in 1943 aged 75, he passed away in 1941 aged 81

SS Robin Moor Wed. May 21, 1941
Unarmed U.S. freighter Robin Moor, en route to South Africa and Mozambique, is stopped and sunk by German submarine U-69 (torpedo and gunfire) about 700 miles off the west coast of Africa, 06¡10'N, 25¡40'W. Robin Moor--her nationality prominently reflected in the U.S. flags painted on her sides--is the first American merchantman sunk by a U-boat in World War II. There are no casualties among her 38-man crew and eight passengers, and U-69'scommanding officer, Kapitanleutnant Jost Metzler, provides the Americans with rations.
