Helmuth Karl Bernhard, Graf von Moltke (26 October 1800 – 24 April 1891), known as Moltke the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke, was a Prussian field marshal. He served as the Chief of the Prussian General Staff, the most influential military position in the Prussian army, from 1857 to 1871, and was a prominent figure in the unification of Germany. Moltke is often considered one of the greatest strategists of all time, and his innovative approaches to warfare significantly influenced military thought and practice. In Hebrew, his name is translated as הלמוט פון מולטקה הזקן. In French, he is known as Helmuth von Moltke l'Ancien, and in Russian as Гельмут фон Мольтке Старший. Moltke's strategic brilliance was most notably demonstrated during the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), where his meticulous planning and adaptability led to decisive Prussian victories. His principles of war, such as the use of rapid mobilization and the concentration of forces, remain foundational in military education worldwide.

Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
German field marshal (1800–1891)
Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke was a Prussian field marshal. The chief of staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years, he is regarded as the creator of a new, more modern method of directing armies in the field and one of the finest military minds of his generation. He commanded troops in Europe and the Middle East, in the Second Schleswig War, Austro-Prussian War, and Franco-Prussian War. He is described as embodying "Prussian military organization and tactical genius". He was fascinated with railways and pioneered their military use. He is often referred to as Moltke the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Helmuth von Moltke the Younger, who commanded the German army at the outbreak of the First World War. He is notably the earliest-born human whose recorded voice is preserved, being born in the last year of the 18th century (1800). He made four recordings; two that were recorded in October 1889 are preserved to this day.
