Having recently entered military service, Albert saw action in 1849 as a

Revolution. During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, Major Suckow
served as Württemberg's military liaison at Bavarian Headquarters. Thereafter,

with a brevet promotion to General der Infanterie. He spent his final years living in a
villa at the foot of the Alten Schloss in Baden-Baden.
