Moltke the German Field Marshal A Plain Man of Berlin
German military leader Count Moltke celebrates his 86th birthday on his Kreisau estate and remains a plain, unostentatious figure. The article recalls anecdotes of him inspecting an asylum and an inn, his wit toward fashion, and his steadfast parliamentary presence in the Reichstag, underscoring a disciplined, unembellished character cherished by the grateful nation. He is rarely seen in ornate dress, favors a second class carriage, and continues to influence military and political life despite age. The piece also notes rapid firearm production advances at a New Orleans plant, detailing automated barrel making and rifling efficiency.
