EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the distinguished figure of Wilhelm Leopold Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz, a Prussian officer who rose to prominence during the tumultuous first decades of the 20th century. Born in 1843, Goltz began his military career in the German Army and quickly distinguished himself as a brilliant tactician and strategic thinker. During the First World War, he served as the military governor of Belgium before being summoned to the Ottoman Empire, where he became a military aide to Sultan Mehmed V and was put in charge of the Fifth Army. Goltz's uniform in this image reflects his esteemed rank as a Prussian Field Marshal and his later appointment as a Pasha in the Ottoman Army. The numerous medals adorning his chest attest to his long and decorated military career. With a stern gaze and imposing presence, Goltz cuts an impressive figure as he stands at attention, embodying the discipline and determination that defined the great war leaders of his time. As a military writer, Goltz left an indelible mark on the annals of military history. His books, which explored the art of war and military strategy, continue to be studied and revered by military scholars and enthusiasts around the world. This photograph serves as a testament to a remarkable life dedicated to the pursuit of military excellence during a time of great upheaval and change.
