Liman von Sanders

Liman von Sanders (centre) had been the commander of the German Military Mission to Constantinople which began back in 1913. He and Enver Pasha did not get along with one another largely due to Sanders' continued criticism of Turkish military facilities and training. Nevertheless, Enver Pasha appointed him commander of the Turkish defence of the Dardanelles after it became clear that the Allies were switching from a naval assault to an army one.
