Kaiser Wilhelm II.

In first pic was Fürst v Fürstenburg during Kaiser Manöver 1909
In second pic was GenAdj v Plettenburg on ex-L, also from the same Kaiser Manöver 1909
In third pic was Lord Lonsdale on Ex-L. Second left was v Chelius. Second right was Otto der Lange who was 6'8"", FlüAdj of the Kaiser and later General. Allegedly not strong in interpersonal skills and not well liked.

Thanks
 
Very nice photos, I have never seen one of the Kaiser laughing/smiling before !
There are many photos of a smiling Kaiser Wilhelm II. Even critics described him as very friendly and charismatic when it came to personal meetings. But unfortunately, people often choose photos of a strange or emotionless Kaiser for their today’s publications. I guess to portray Kaiser Wilhelm II as a bad guy who was responsible for WW1.

Here are some more (not all) with a friendly looking Willy 2 ;)
