Oskar von Hutier, German First World War general, 1926
Oskar von Hutier, German First World War general, 1926. Hutier established his reputation as a commander on the Eastern Front in World War I, making extensive use of so-called infiltration tactics whilst leading the German 8th Army. In 1918 he was transferred to the Western Front and placed in command of the newly formed 18th Army to spearhead the German Spring Offensive. His army was spectacularly successful in the early phase of the operation, capturing 50, 000 prisoners and advancing some 40 miles into Allied territory. After the war he was prominent in expressing the view that Germany had not lost the war because it had been defeated on the battlefield but had been stabbed in the back by its politicians

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Oskar von Hutier, a renowned German First World War general, in 1926. Known for his exceptional leadership skills, Hutier made a name for himself on the Eastern Front during World War I by implementing innovative infiltration tactics while commanding the German 8th Army. In 1918, he was transferred to the Western Front and entrusted with leading the newly formed 18th Army to spearhead the German Spring Offensive. The early phase of this operation saw Hutier's army achieve remarkable success, capturing an astonishing 50,000 prisoners and advancing approximately 40 miles into Allied territory. This portrait captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping history through his military prowess. Beyond his military achievements, von Hutier was also known for his outspoken views after the war. He firmly believed that Germany had not lost due to battlefield defeat but rather because it had been betrayed by its politicians—a sentiment shared by many at that time. In this photograph, von Hutier dons his distinctive headgear—a cap that symbolizes both authority and determination. His stern expression reflects the weight of responsibility he carried as he led troops into battle during one of humanity's most devastating conflicts. Preserved through time, this image serves as a powerful reminder of Oskar von Hutier's contributions to military strategy and offers us insight into an era defined by turmoil and sacrifice.
