Military medicine is an important profession in the army to save lives and help the wounded, and Lieutenant General Fu Lianzhang and Major General Qian Xinzhong are excellent representatives of our army. However, in the German team during World War II, there was a doctor of dentist named Karl Maus, although he was not a real doctor, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general for his outstanding performance on the battlefield.
His success teaches us that there is no distinction between high and low careers, and that it is possible to succeed in any field as long as you have talent and hard work.
You may wonder if a doctor-turned-man is up to the task. However, his performance is beyond your imagination. The evaluation of the famous German general Schauken is definitely well deserved.
During World War I, Mauss joined the Kaiser's Army at the age of 16, and his bravery earned him the first cross in his division, and the following year he was promoted to the youngest second lieutenant officer, an achievement he had at the age of 17.
However, the ruthlessness of fate caused him to fall during a flight training and survive his death, leaving him with a lifelong disability, which also meant that his military career came to an end.
Mauss had a passion for dentistry and earned a doctorate in dentistry, but his restlessness drove him to join the army in 1934 during the Nazi expansion.
Despite his disability, he excelled in the Polish Campaign, the French Campaign, and even the commander of the 7th Panzer Division in the latter part of World War II.
He was awarded a "Bronze Melee Medal" for soldiers who had participated in more than 15 hand-to-hand combat battles and achieved brilliant results. Although disabled, Maus was most fond of hand-to-hand combat, and he was the only Nazi general to receive this medal.
During the battle in March 1945, despite being seriously wounded, he resolutely remained on the front line to direct the battle.
Maus once had a motto: "Look at this sentence, it's even more Patton than Barton!" "Although he was not sentenced after the end of World War II, he was sent home and continued his old job of opening a dentist's office, but would it allow him to settle down easily?
In 1955, when West Germany reorganized the Wehrmacht, Mauss, who was already 57 years old, signed up for the army again. However, his left leg had been amputated and he had to walk on a prosthetic leg, so he was not allowed to enlist in the army.
Despite this, the Wehrmacht sent the Guard of Honor to Maus's funeral, giving him a very high courtesy. Maus's life was full of fighting spirit, and his death also gave the Bundeswehr a tribute to World War II veterans.
