corps-level commander in the latter part of the 19th century. From 1898 through
1903, General von Massow was the commander of IX. Army Corps in
Hamburg-Altona. In the years prior to the Great War, he further served as president

Kaiser having interfered in his courtroom verdicts. His son Ewald von Massow was
an SS-Gruppenführer during the Second World War.
