What Germany Wants (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from What Germany Wants During the preparation of this book the writer received from his uncle, a veteran army officer living in Dresden, a brief note containing the following laconic record: I793, your great grandfather at Kostheim. 1815, your grandfather at Liegnitz. 1870, myself - all severely wounded by French bullets. 1914, my son, captain in the 6th Regiment of Dragoons. Four generations obliged to fight the French! When the writer turns to his American friends of French descent, he finds there similar records, and often even greater sorrow, for death has come to many of them. In Europe their families and his have looked upon each other as enemies for generations, while a few years in the clarifying atmosphere of America have made friends of former Frenchmen, Germans, Russians, and Englishmen.
