EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined spirit of Kaiser Wilhelm II as he takes command of his army during World War I. The image, titled "Our Emperor at the Head of His Army Commanders," shows Wilhelm riding boldly on a grey horse, leading his troops into battle. By his side, Field Marshal August von Mackensen, a renowned military leader, follows on horseback. Mackensen's distinctive uniform, complete with a Totenkopf (skull and crossbones) on his fur busby, signifies his membership in the elite Death's Head Hussars. The allegorical nature of this photograph serves to underscore the patriotic fervor and unwavering resolve of the German military during this tumultuous time in history. Dated to 1918, this powerful image stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the German forces and their leader, Kaiser Wilhelm II, as they faced the challenges of the First World War.
