English German Atrocities from German Evidence Produced by Peter Becker, Brian Coe and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "German Atrocities from German Evidence" by Joseph Bédier is a historical account penned during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. This book serves as a critical examination of the actions of the German army during the war, aiming to provide concrete documentation of alleged war crimes based solely on German military records and diaries. It seeks to highlight the contrast between the purportedly honorable principles of warfare and the brutal reality as depicted by the soldiers' accounts. In this book, Bédier meticulously compiles a series of chilling excerpts from the diaries of German soldiers, detailing the atrocities committed against civilians in occupied territories such as Belgium and France. These accounts describe various acts of violence, including mass executions, pillaging, and the intentional harm inflicted upon women and children. Bédier emphasizes the systematic nature of these crimes, depicting a culture of violence that was not only tolerated but seemingly sanctioned within the German military. By relying exclusively on German sources, the author strengthens his argument, striving to present undeniable evidence that critiques the moral integrity of the German military's actions during the war, while also raising questions about the broader implications regarding the nature of warfare and humanity.
