Anniversary Busch Ceremonies Ceremony Ernst Frederick Friedrich Mackensen Major Marshal Potsdam 150th 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Field Marshal August von Mackensen (centre) and Major General Ernst Busch (right) are seen standing at attention during ceremonies held in Potsdam to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the death of Frederick the Great. The year was 1936, and the solemn occasion was marked by the presence of numerous German military personnel, all dressed in their full regalia, paying tribute to the legendary Prussian monarch and military leader. Frederick the Great, or Friedrich II as he was known, ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786 and is renowned for his military victories and his role in shaping modern Germany. The anniversary ceremonies in Potsdam were an opportunity for the German military to honor their historical roots and pay homage to their illustrious past. Field Marshal August von Mackensen, a distinguished military commander, was a key figure in the German military during World War I. He led the German forces to victory in the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 and was later appointed as the commander-in-chief of the German army in the Eastern Front. Major General Ernst Busch, on the other hand, was a decorated soldier who had served in both World War I and World War II. He was known for his leadership skills and his commitment to the German military. The photograph captures the solemnity and dignity of the occasion, with the two officers standing at attention, their uniforms adorned with medals and insignia, and the Prussian flag fluttering in the background. The soldiers in the background are also seen standing at attention, their faces expressionless, as they pay their respects to their historical leader and their military traditions. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich military history of Germany and the enduring legacy of its great military leaders.
