Moltke, Helmuth, Count von, known as the Silent 1800-91
Prussian soldier
In 1819 he became lieutenant in a Danish regiment, but in 1822 entered Prussian service. In 1832 he was appointed to the staff, and in 1835 obtained leave to travel. Asked by the Sultan to remodel the Turkish army, he did not return to Berlin until 1839. From 1858 to 1888 he was Chief of the General Staff in Berlin and reorganized the Prussian army. His strategical skill was displayed in the successful wars with Denmark in 1863-64, with Austria in 1866, and with France in 1870-71.
