EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of The Corps D'Elite of the German Army, also known as the Prussian Foot Guards, in the year 1914, on the eve of World War I. The image comprises three distinct scenes, each showcasing the different aspects of the elite corps. On the far left, an officer of the Prussian Foot Guards stands proudly in a field uniform, his bearing exuding authority and discipline. His attire is practical and functional, designed for the rigors of military life and the demands of the battlefield. In the center, recruits to the Guards are being sworn in at Potsdam before the Kaiser. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable, as the young men take their oaths, marking the beginning of their military careers and their transformation into soldiers of the elite corps. Their uniforms, though similar to the officer's, are yet to be adorned with the insignia of their rank or regiment, signifying their status as raw recruits. On the right, an officer of the 1st Prussian Foot Guards is depicted in his resplendent parade uniform. The grandeur and opulence of his attire are a stark contrast to the functional field uniform. The parade uniform was worn for formal occasions and inspections, symbolizing the prestige and honor associated with the Corps D'Elite. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the Prussian Foot Guards, providing a fascinating insight into the types of soldiers that made up this elite force of the German Army during World War I.
