He was a general during the American Revolution who came from Germany.
He trained all colonists how to fight. He even trained them when it was one of the scariest winters and when lot of soldiers were dying.
Though he trained all Americans how to fight, he spoke no english, so no one in their right mind in the colonies at a lean time had any idea what he was saying, so he learned how to follow his gestures about what to do and how to do it.
