when the "Great HQ of HM the Kaiser & King" mobilized in August 1914, Wilhelm II was accompanied from Berlin to Koblenz (and beyond) by his Military Cabinet Chief von Lyncker and three additional General Adjutants (according to Cron's). Am curious which of the following generals were included with the mobilized HQ(?): Oskar von Lindequist, Hans von Plessen, Gustav von Kessel, Friedrich von Scholl, Walther Bronsart von Schellendorff Or did the three General Adjutants rotate between mobile HQ and Berlin?

gracias Glenn - this family name has been the source of much confusion for me jon v

Looking to confirm whether below image is of Hugo Hans von Winterfeld (or maybe another Winterfeld)? General von Winterfeld(t)

To all interested parties: the webpage Prussian Machine has been moved to http://home.comcast.net/~jcviser/ the site represents an effort to profile Imperial German military leadership from the Great War and pre-War era thank you

Yeh, I guess 14 yrs of age would've been a bit young, but now I'm mystified. Wondering if this might be another Dohna? thanks for the assist Rick!

Dohna's finery:

Looking to confirm whether this general could be Adjutant-General Alfred Burggraf und Graf zu Dohna-Schlobitten. Thanks in advance for any help with this

Deruelle, would #239 be General der Inf Richard von Conta, by chance? The picture favors him, but not sure

#194 could he be GdI Hans von Zwehl?

Thanks Les - and if anyone has the inclination to help out, I'm still working on the bios of a few hard-to-find army corps commanders. I really appreciate any help! Jon

Would anyone have an image of Adj Gen Alfred Burggraf und Graf von Dohna-Schlobitten? or any information at all? Looking to add to my webpages Jon V http://home.comcast.net/~jcviser/index.htm/

realize this may be OBE but I have a couple images...
