His career and private life were singularly untroubled, touched only marginally by the military and political upheavals through which he lived.

  The fourth of the six children of a village schoolmaster, Mittasch grew up happily in Wendish Saxony. For lack of money the boy was sent to a teacher-training school instead of a university.
