Captain **Justus Scheibert** (1831–1903) was a Prussian army officer, sent by [Prussia](/source/Prussia) to America to observe the [American Civil War](/source/American_Civil_War) in order to learn the lessons to be learned and return to Prussia to teach these lessons to the Prussian troops. He traveled with Confederate troops and witnessed the [Battle of Chancellorsville](/source/Battle_of_Chancellorsville), the [Second Battle of Charleston Harbor](/source/Second_Battle_of_Charleston_Harbor), and the [Battle of Gettysburg](/source/Battle_of_Gettysburg).[1] His writings became a source of Prussian, and later German, military strategy through five subsequent wars.[2] He later became the editor of the "Post aus dem Riesengebirge".
