German soldier and politician Hasso von Manteuffel in the driving seat of a Centurion tank, with Major H.S. Long standing by, at the Vehicle Testing Centre, Chobham, England, 10 November 1955. Photo by Reg Burkett. Respect and admiration followed Manteuffel into civilian life. He was elected to the town council of Neuss-on-the-Rhine in 1947 (he was working for a manufacturing firm at the time), and from 1953 to 1957 he served in the West German Bundestag (Parliament). He was also a guest of several foreign military commands, including the Pentagon in Washington, and lectured at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
