1865-1937. German general, chief of staff to
Hindenburg in World War I, and responsible
for the eastern-front victory at the Battle
of Tannenberg 1914. After Hindenburg's
appointment as chief of general staff and
Ludendorff's as quartermaster-general 1916,
he was also politically influential. He took
part in the Nazi rising in Munich 1923, and
sat in the Reichstag (parliament) as a
right-wing Nationalist.
