Synopsis
"Goltz, Millet-i Muselleha ile halkin militarize edilmesini kastetmiyordu. Buyuk ordulara da taraftar degildi. Teknolojinin gelisimiyle birlikte kucuk, profesyonel ve egitimli ordularin, buyuk ve vasifsiz ordulara karsi ustunluk saglayacagina inanmaktaydi. Ancak henuz bu yol ayrimina gelinmedigini dusunmekteydi. Yasanmasi kuvvetle muhtemel bir dunya harbinin buyuk kuvvetlerle ve genis alanlarda gerceklesecegini ongoren Goltz, bir muddet daha buyuk ordularin teskiline devam edilmesi gerektigi kanaatindeydi. Bununla birlikte buyuk capta profesyonel bir ordunun ulke ekonomisine hatiri sayilir bir yuk getirecegini de biliyordu. Goltz'a gore bu noktada yapilacak is profesyonel cekirdek kadronun vatandas askerlerle (citizen soldier) desteklenmesiydi. Bu da 'silahaltindaki halk' demekti." (Tanitim Bulteninden)

Wilhelm Leopold Colmar von der Goltz, also known as Goltz Pasha, was a Prussian Field Marshal and military writer. After defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), Sultan Hamid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, asked for German aid in reorganizing the Ottoman Army, so that they would be able to resist the advance of the Russian Empire. Baron von der Goltz was sent. He spent twelve years on this work which provided the material for several of his books. During his time in the Ottoman Empire, Goltz had very negative view of Abdul Hamid II, writing: "The Stambul Efendi, whose father held a well-paid sinecure, reward by Sultan Hamid for his faithfulness, and who enjoyed to the fullest the good life, now knowing the struggle for existence, could not be a great leader on the battlefield. As long as Sultan Abdulhamid and the present ruling classes remain at the rudder, one may not speak of the rescue of Turkey." Goltz achieved some reforms such as lengthening the period of study at military schools and adding new curricula for staff courses at the War College. From 1883 to 1895, Goltz trained the so-called "Goltz generation" of Ottoman officers, many of whom would go to play prominent roles in Ottoman military and political life. Goltz, who learned to speak fluent Turkish, was a much admired teacher, regarded as a "father figure" by the cadets, who saw him as "an inspiration." Attending his lectures, in which he sought to indoctrinate his students with his "nation in arms" philosophy, was seen as "a matter of pride and joy" by his pupils. As a result, it was the Ottoman army rather the German army which first embraced Goltz's "nation in arms" theory as the basis of its understanding of war. After some years he was given the title Pasha (a signal honor for a non-Muslim) and in 1895, just before he returned to Germany, he was named Mushir (field-marshal). His improvements to the Ottoman army were significant. It is noteworthy that in the Greco-Turkish War (1897), the Turkish army stopped just before Thermopylae, only when the Czar Nicholas II of Russia threatened the Ottoman Sultan that he would be attacking the Ottoman Empire from eastern Anatolia unless the Ottoman Army stopped their campaign at that point.
