The Crimes of Germany by THEODORE ANDREA. COOK Pdf
Excerpt from The Crimes of Germany: Being an Illustrated Synopsis of the Violations of International Law and of Humanity by the Armed Forces of the German Empire; Based on the Official Enquiries of Great Britain, France, Russia and Belgium; With a Preface by Sir Theodore A. Cook The cynical and immediate contempt shown by Germany for the Hague Conventions and other rules of civilised war has convinced everyone that the strict and continuous Observance Of such conventions in the future must Obtain the sanction of such forcible measures as could be applied, when necessary, by the rest of the world, to the Germanic peoples or to any others who might wantonly violate the agreements of civilisation. That Observance must clearly also be a matter of interest and honour in the future to every nation which has signed the Code. In other words, a strong and practically universal body of enlightened censure must be created, and maintained, against the deliberate policy which has abused the chivalry of war and destroyed the lives and property of innocent non-combatants both by land and sea. We must be protected against any possibility of its revival. Crimes such as Germany has committed have not merely broken the rules 01 the civil and military code; they have outraged-the elemental instincts Of humanity; they can neither be adequately punished nor permanently stopped by arms alone their abolition must be the task of a higher type of international conscience which will not only reject German ideals from every civilised country, but will insist upon a clearer recognition Of the fundamental rights and duties of the individual citizen within the boundaries of the Germanic Empires. It is almost incredible that among all those millions not a single voice has been able to raise a protest strong enough to turn their rulers from the deliberate policy Of crime laid down' in their Official War Book and rigidly carried out by the strict orders of their Officers. For all the German-speaking races outside Prussia there will one day come a great awakening. Truth cannot be hidden. Just as they deceived the world with prattle about philosophy and Kultur for all the years during which they were secretly preparing the wholesale murder of Europe and European civilisation, so they have been deceived themselves as to the result of their ill-starred machinations, and as to the Opinion Of the world about their abominable methods. After all, they will discover it is not war, but peace, which is the normal life of other nations. After all, they will be made to realise that Truth, and not Lies, is the basis upon which international society must rest. The frightfulness Of the modern Hun has effected nothing greater or more lasting than did the cruelties Of Attila or the faggots Of Alva in the Netherlands. Their Chancellors and their journalists may ask Is it the business of Germans to be guided by chatter about humanity and civilisation, or to go ahead roughly and ruthlessly But a greater Voice than any to which modern Germany has listened has said to her victims in Belgium, Serbia, and Poland I know thy works and tribulation and poverty. Fear none Of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried. Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown Of life.

Sexual Treason in Germany during the First World War by Lisa M. Todd Pdf
This book is the first comprehensive study of sexual lives in Germany and occupied Europe during the First World War. Reconsidering sex in war brings to life a whole cast of characters too often left out of the historical narrative: widowed women who worked as prostitutes, fresh-faced recruits who experienced the war in a VD hospital, eugenicists who conflated sex and national decline, soldiers’ wives ostracized by neighbourhood rumour mills. By considering the confluence of public discourse, state policy, and everyday life, Lisa M. Todd adds to the growing body of knowledge on war and society in the twentieth century. By incorporating the 1914-1918 experience into the longer frame of the pre-war sex reform movement and the post-war Allied occupation of the Rhineland, this book is able to more fully evaluate the impact of the war years on the history of intimate relations in early twentieth-century Germany.
German Submarine Warfare in World War I by Lawrence Sondhaus Pdf
This compelling book explores Germany’s campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare in World War I, which marked the onset of total war at sea. Noted historian Lawrence Sondhaus shows how the undersea campaign, intended as an antidote to Britain’s more conventional blockade of German ports, ultimately brought the United States into the war. Although the German people readily embraced the argument that an “undersea blockade” of Britain enforced by their navy’s Unterseeboote (U-boats) was the moral equivalent of the British navy’s blockade of German ports, international opinion never accepted its legitimacy. Sondhaus explains that in their initial, somewhat confused rollout of unrestricted submarine warfare in 1915, German leaders underestimated the extent to which the policy would alienate the most important neutral power, the United States. In rationalizing the risk of resuming the unrestricted campaign in 1917, they took for granted that, should the United States join the Allies, German U-boats would be able to stop the transport of an American army to France. But by bringing the United States into the war, while also failing to stop the deployment of its troops to Europe, unrestricted submarine warfare ultimately led to Germany’s defeat. Because US manpower proved decisive in breaking the stalemate on the Western Front and securing victory for the Allies, Sondhaus argues that Germany’s decision to stake its fate on the U-boat campaign ranks among the greatest blunders of modern history.
