Qamar Javed Bajwa vs Theodor Eicke

General Qamar Javed Bajwa was appointed as the 16th Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. His appointment was seen as a continuation of the military's anti-terrorism policies, and he was given an unprecedented three-year extension in 2019, making him the longest-serving army chief since Ayub Khan.

General Bajwa launched Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, a nationwide counter-terrorism operation aimed at eliminating residual terrorist threats and consolidating gains from previous operations. The operation involved intelligence-based raids and border management, further reducing terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

Following the Pulwama attack, India launched airstrikes on Balakot, Pakistan. General Bajwa oversaw Pakistan's military response, including the downing of two Indian aircraft and the capture of an Indian pilot. The crisis de-escalated after Pakistan returned the pilot, but tensions remained high along the Line of Control.

General Bajwa played a key role in facilitating the US-Taliban peace agreement, signed in Doha. Pakistan's military provided logistical support and pressure on the Taliban to negotiate. The deal led to the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban takeover in 2021.

Eicke was appointed the first commandant of Dachau concentration camp in June 1933. He implemented a brutal regime and developed the SS camp system that became a model for other camps.

Eicke organized and commanded the SS Totenkopf Division from concentration camp guards. The division fought in France and on the Eastern Front, known for its brutality.

Eicke was killed on February 26, 1943, when his Fieseler Storch aircraft was shot down near Kharkov, Ukraine. He was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves.
