 First World War.com - Who's Who - Otto Liman von Sanders
Otto Liman von Sanders (1855-1929), a German officer, was responsible for transforming the efficiency of the Ottoman army in the months prior to World War One.
Rising to the rank of Lieutenant General the unpopular Liman served in numerous staff and divisional commands before being appointed director of a German military mission to Turkey in 1913 intended to reorganise the army of the Ottoman Empire.
A compromise arrangement was subsequently agreed whereby Liman was appointed to the rather less senior (and less influential) position of Inspector General in January 1914.
