FACIAL DEFORMITY
General der Panzertruppe Heinrich Eberbach (1895-1992). The most striking and defining aspect of Eberbach’s face was his prosthetic nose—a consequence of a devastating wound sustained on the Western Front in September 1915, when artillery or a bullet carried away much of his original nose during World War I combat, leading to his capture by French forces. Surgeons later constructed an artificial replacement, often described as a rubber prosthesis, which, while restoring basic function and contour, left subtle asymmetries and a slightly rigid, unnatural bridge that was noticeable upon close inspection. This injury, which he carried for the rest of his long life until his death in 1992 at age 96, lent his countenance a weathered, asymmetrical quality that blended seamlessly with the stern, no-nonsense expression typical of high-ranking German officers: thin lips often set in a neutral line, clean-shaven skin showing the faint lines of age and stress from commanding armored formations in Poland, France, Russia, and Normandy.
