Volker Wieker
We are specifically referring to Hitler and Nazi Germany here, but Germany has had its fair share of leaders who have seemingly run the country ragged. Germany's Nazi past has made it extremely infamous, and everyone knows about it. Volker Wieker has a history of climbing a rank ladder in his career, which spanned a duration of 36 years of his life from 1974 to 2010. While nobody actually speaks about the greater good and the men of honor of Germany to introduce the topic of the Top Military Generals of military history, Volker Wieker has a record of doing so.
While most would give up, Volker has certainly pushed boundaries beyond his own expected horizons in order to reach the pinnacle of his life. Regardless of where he started, this is purely an inspirational success story, as most would have been shot or worse, lost their lives in the process within a span of 36 years.
