Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke (October 26, 1800 - April 24, 1891) was a German Generalfeldmarschall. The chief of staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years, he is widely regarded as one of the great strategists of the latter half of the 1800s, and the creator of a new, more modern method, of directing armies in the field. He is often referred to as Moltke the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke, who commanded the German Army at the outbreak of World War I.
