I've been trying to find an authoritative source for the "four types of officers" quote, and I can't satisfy myself one exists. Here's what I've found:

you mean the four types of officers whom he would employ? i was looking at the text of that quote recently. i'm almost certain that it can be attributed k. von h-e. or to col. v.spon. i will take a look and get back to you on this. as i recall, there is no direct reference in Truppenfuhrung (excuse lack of umlaut). i was co-author/editor of the english translation. best wishes, bruce condell bruce ( talk) 17:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm also trying to track down the original source: Wiki projects that mention the quote include:
Possibly that will helps someone find the origin... ? -- Quiddity ( talk) 23:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Yup, that book clearly attributes the quote to K-vHE. Thanks for the citation! A friend has ordered the English translation and we'll see what it says. Echion2 ( talk) 07:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
The English translation book came to my friend and it clearly attributes the quote (with virtually identical English translation) to von Hammerstein-Equord on page 86. I'm going to make the appropriate edits. Echion2 ( talk) 10:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

The first footnote seems quite obvious and imho doesn´t fit into a well-developped encyclopedia entry, does it? Let's try not to treat the readers as if they were a bunch of morons... I'd suggest getting rid of it. If you find it absolutely crucial to explain the notion of "Freiherr", let's just make it a link to a proper article, shall we? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.55.28.74 ( talk) 01:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
A few random examples of weird prose here:
"General von Witzleben demanded together with the generals Wilhelm von Leeb and Gerd von Rundstedt at General Fritsch, now Chief Command..."
"In a closed meeting of the peaks of government, party and Reichswehr to another topic Hitler said "studies"..."
"...relieved of his command on personal orders by Hitler..."
"...Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Sauerbruch, an esteemed surgeon..."
"After the reports of his children Hammerstein reported during the meals about forthcoming actions against Jewish and other persecuted people, so those could be warned by his children."
"First he was a member of the Reichstag (KPD), organizer and redactor."
"He turned away from the KPD, was mostly arrested since 1933 and was shot 1940 in the KZ Buchenwald."
"She made the connections to agent Gert Caden to the KPD." 94.191.143.218 ( talk) 19:11, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
