Karl Höfer

Karl Höfer (also Hoefer; 1862 in Pleß 1939) was a German general. During World War I he became known as the Held vom Kemmelberge[1] (hero of Kemmel hill) after his division had captured the Kemmelberg during the Fourth Battle of Flanders.

Hoefer in 1916

Retired, as "Generalleutnant a. D.", Höfer defended German Upper Silesia against Polish insurgents in the Silesian Uprisings in 1921. The Freikorps leaders had agreed[2][3] upon Höfer as commander; he led them to success in the Battle of Annaberg. In the international press, he was referred to as "General Hoefer" or "Teuton Commander Hoefer".[4]

Notes


gollark: As well as that, the dedicated GPU is arguably a "computer" too, and it has at least one microcontroller on it for various things. Also, the internal keyboard and camera are connected over USB, which means they probably have their own microcontrollers.
gollark: I don't have one of those, but yes.
gollark: It has a WiFi card, obviously, which has yet another computer in it for running... whatever WiFi cards do...
gollark: Graphics Microcontroller and HEVC Microcontroller, they're a weird implementation detail of recent Intel GPUs.
gollark: That is of course not all.
