EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of strategic planning during the First World War, as Generals Oskar von Hutier (centre left) and Traugott Martin von Sauberzweig (centre right) confer with their staff. Both generals served with distinction in the German army, with von Hutier commanding the successful capture of Riga in September 1917 as Commander of the 8th Army, and later leading the 18th Army in the Battle of the Somme (March 1918) and the Battle of Noyon (June 1918). Von Sauberzweig, who served as Chief of the General Staff of the 8th Army during the Riga campaign, was also a respected military leader. The generals are seen here dressed in their full military regalia, complete with caps, capes, and canes, as they discuss tactics and strategies with their officers. The soldiers in the background, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, stand at attention, attentively listening to their commanders. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of military leadership during the Great War, a time of intense conflict and strategic maneuvering. This image is a powerful reminder of the dedication and determination of the soldiers and commanders who fought in the trenches of the Western Front, and the crucial role that effective leadership played in the outcome of the war.
