EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Crown Prince Wilhelm of the House of Hohenzollern (Friedrich Wilhelm Victor August Ernst, 1882-1951) amidst his staff during the First World War, most likely taken around the time of the Battle of Verdun in north eastern France (1916). The Battle of Verdun was one of the longest and deadliest engagements of the war, with both sides suffering immense losses. In this image, the Crown Prince, dressed in his military uniform, stands in front of a wooden table, surrounded by his staff in their own uniforms, all set against the backdrop of a dense forest. The wooded surroundings add to the sense of seclusion and the somber atmosphere of the war time scene. The image underscores the leadership role of the Crown Prince during this pivotal moment in world history, as he and his staff strategized and planned in the face of the ongoing conflict. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by those in positions of power during this tumultuous period.
