  Gerhard von Scharnhorst - Biocrawler
Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst (November 12, 1755 - June 28, 1813) was a general in Prussian service, Chief of the Prussian General Staff, noted for both his writings and his leadership during the Napoleonic Wars.
Scharnhorst, recalled to the king's headquarters, refused a higher post but became chief of staff to Blücher, in whose vigour, energy and influence with the young soldiers he had complete confidence.
In it Scharnhorst received a wound in the foot, not in itself grave, but soon made mortal by the fatigues of the retreat to Dresden, and he succumbed to it on 28 June 1813 at Prague, whither he had travelled to negotiate with Schwarzenberg and Radetzky for the armed intervention of Austria.

 Scharnhorst - Origin of the Name - Gerhard Johann von Scharnhorst
Following education in the noted War College of Wilhelmstein, Steinhuder Meer, Scharnhorst was commissioned into the Hannoverian Army in 1776 and in 1801 applied for the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Prussian Army.
Despite the pressures exerted by such reformers as Gneisenau, Götzen, Boyen, and Freiherr vom Stein, resistance by the king was such that Scharnhorst did not succeed in implementing general conscription until 1813.
Scharnhorst's major achievement was the "shrinkage system" designed to circumvent the limit of 42.000 men for the standing army imposed by Napoleon on Prussia in the Paris Treaty of 1808.

On Nov. 12, 1755, G. von Scharnhorst was born in Bordenau, the son of a former sergeant.

Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst (12 November 1755 - 28 June 1813) was a general in Prussian service, Chief of the Prussian General Staff, noted for both his writings, his reforms of the Prussian army, and his leadership during the Napoleonic Wars.
By direct application to Napoleon, Scharnhorst evaded the decree of 26 September 1810, which required all foreigners to leave the Prussian service forthwith, but when in 1811–1812 France forced Prussia into an alliance against Russia and Prussia despatched an auxiliary army to serve under Napoleon's orders, Scharnhorst left Berlin on unlimited leave of absence.
In this battle, Scharnhorst received a wound in the foot, not in itself grave, but soon made mortal by the fatigues of the retreat to Dresden, and he succumbed to it on 28 June 1813 at Prague, where he had travelled to negotiate with Schwarzenberg and Radetzky for the armed intervention of Austria.

Scharnhorst war aber noch mehr; seine Frau Klara, seine "Kläre", liebte er über alles; die Briefe an sie gehören zum Schönsten in der deutschen Briefliteratur.
Nicht umsonst hat sie der Goetheforscher Erich Trunz mit den Briefen der großen Weimarer seiner Zeit verglichen.
