FZM Oskar Potiorek was a central figure in the first months of the World War. He was born on 20 November 1853 in Bleiburg, Austria. FML Oskar Potiorek succeeded Eduard Ritter von Succovaty von Vezza as commander of the III. Corps in April 1897. He held this command for four years, surrendering it to FML Karl Schikofski in 1910. In 1911, he became Inspector General of the Austrian Army. He was replaced in this position by the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1913. When GdI Franz Conrad von Hцtzendorf was dismissed from the post of Chief of the General Staff in 1912, Potiorek assumed he was the most qualified candidate for the position. However, he was superceded first by FML Blasius Schemua and then by the return of Conrad at the height of Serbia’s military activity in the Balkans. Rivalry between the two lasted well into the autumn of 1914 when cooperation was needed most. On 25 July 1914, the Archduke Friedrich was appointed Commander in Chief for the Balkan Theatre of war, as mobilisation against Serbia proceeded.
