EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the stern and focused expression of Alfred Graf von Schlieffen, a renowned German military strategist and the architect of the infamous Schlieffen Plan. Born in 1833, Schlieffen rose through the ranks of the Imperial German Army to become the Chief of the Imperial General Staff from 1891 to 1906. His most famous strategy, the Schlieffen Plan, was designed to secure a quick victory in the upcoming war by invading France through neutral Belgium, bypassing the heavily fortified French border. The plan was based on the assumption that a two-front war against France and Russia would be impossible to win, and that a swift, decisive blow against France was essential. The Schlieffen Plan, however, ultimately failed. The German advance through Belgium was slower than anticipated, and the French were able to rally their forces and halt the German advance at the Battle of the Marne in September 1914. Schlieffen, who had retired from the military in 1906, was not directly responsible for the execution of the plan, but his name became synonymous with it. This photograph, taken circa 1913, shows Schlieffen in his later years, with the weight of history and the failure of his most famous strategy bearing down on him. Despite the ultimate outcome of the war, Schlieffen's strategic mind and innovative thinking left a lasting impact on military strategy and war planning.
