Naumann: ''Die Plessen. Stammfolge vom XIII. bis XX. Jahrhundert''. Limburg an der Lahn: Starke Verlag, 1971]〕 General von Plessen also held the office of His Majesty's Orderly Adjutant General ((ドイツ語:SM diensttuender Generaladjutant)) to Kaiser Wilhelm II, thus making him one of the Emperor's closest confidants. By 1918 he was the oldest serving officer in the Imperial German Army, although Paul von Hindenburg falsely claimed this for himself.〔(Hans von Plessen ) at ''The Prussian Machine'', retrieved 08-Aug-2012〕 In 1918, von Plessen was awarded the Pour le Mérite, Germany's highest military honor. He remained devoted to the Kaiser until the collapse of the monarchy in November, 1918.〔 ==Awards== * Order of the Black Eagle, with diamonds and crosses * Order of the Red Eagle, grand cross with oak leaves and swords * Prussian Order of the Crown, first class * Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with swords and crosses * Württemberg Order of the Crown, grand cross〔Hof- und Staatshandbuch des Königreichs Württemberg 1907, Seite 50〕 * Iron Cross (1870), second Class * Iron Cross (1914), first Class * Pour le Mérite, 24 March 1918 * Order of Saint Hubert * Order of the Rautenkrone * Order of the Wendish Crown, grand cross * Order of Leopold, grand cross * Order of the Iron Crown, first class * Order of Franz Joseph, grand cross * Order of Saint Stephen, grand cross with diamonds * Order of Dannebrog, commander first class * Royal Victorian Order * Order of St. Andrew the First-Called * Royal Order of the Seraphim Plessen was amongst the most highly decorated officers, with a total of 88 national and international medals, including 51 large crosses.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans von Plessen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
