EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures General Oskar von Hutier (1857-1934), a prominent German army officer during World War I, as he rides in the back of an open car. Dressed in his full military regalia, the general dons an ornate cap adorned with the Prussian eagle crest, signifying his high rank and commanding presence. The year is circa 1917, and the image exudes an air of authority and determination. General von Hutier held significant roles in the German military during the war. He first commanded the 8th Army, which successfully took Riga in September 1917. Later, he led the 18th Army in the Battle of the Somme in March 1918 and the Battle of Noyon in June 1918. The image of him riding in the open car may suggest a moment of respite or reconnaissance during the intense and grueling war time. The uniformed soldier in the background, also wearing a cap with the Prussian eagle crest, adds to the sense of camaraderie and unity among the German forces. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the commanders leading the charge on the battlefield during the Great War.
