  Baron von Steuben
Von Steuben was born in Magdeburg fortress where his father was an engineer lieutenant in the military in 1730.
Steuben was introduced to General Washington by means of a letter from Franklin as a "Lieutenant General in the King of Prussia's service," a certain exaggeration of his actual credentials.
It was Steuben serving in Washington's headquarters in the summer of 1778 who was the first to report the enemy was heading for Monmouth.

 General von Steuben
Friedrich Wilhelm Rudolph Gerhard Augustin von Steuben was born in Magdeburg, a fortress-town on the Elbe River.
Steuben was enaged in the battle of Liegnitz (in Silesia) on August 15, 1760, where Frederick’s troops, exhausted and outnumbered, defeated a poorly led Austrian army and was thus able to prevent the union of the Russian and Austrian armies.
Steuben expended part of this income on the renovation of the "Louvre" which he occupied in May of 1784 and further sums were apparently invested in the purchase and rehabilitation of his New-Bridge estate as is evidenced by his own correspondence.

 General Friedrich von Steuben
Friedrich Wilhelm Augustin, Baron von Steuben, a German officer, took part during the American Revolution.
Despite his claims, the genial von Steuben was only a captain, not a former Prussian general; but he was a superb drillmaster.
Von Steuben set out to change all this, and incidentally kept the men well occupied during the Valley Forge winter.

When forty-seven year old General Friedrich von Steuben first came to George Washington's camp at Valley Forge in February, he is said to have been horrified.
Von Steuben noted that the men were "literally naked in the fullest extent of the word!" Their camp had hardly any supplies and men shivered in their thin clothes.
Von Steuben's next step was to have the camp cleaned up and ordered that it stay that way.

Von Steuben was born in Magdeburg Fortress in 1730, where his father served as an engineer lieutenant.
As luck would have it, he was endorsed for service by the French Minister of War (Count de St. German) who fully realized the potential of an officer with Prussian General Staff training.
Steuben was introduced to General Washington by means of a letter from Franklin as a "Lieutenant General in the King of Prussia's service," an exaggeration of his actual credentials.
