"German Atrocities: Their Nature and Philosophy" by Newell Dwight Hillis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the brutal actions perpetrated by German forces during World War I, providing a detailed investigation of atrocities witnessed in Belgium and France. The author aims to document these events by compiling testimonies, photographs, and reports, asserting the existence of a systematic and horrific campaign of violence against civilians. At the start of the book, Hillis establishes the rationale behind his inquiries into the German atrocities, recounting the chilling accounts received from Belgian refugees. He expresses a strong desire to corroborate these testimonies with extensive research and firsthand observations, which ultimately led him to war-torn regions to gather evidence from survivors and witnesses. He emphasizes that the evidence of atrocities is overwhelming, supported by various forms of proof including testimonies from children and soldiers' diaries. This introduction not only sets the stage for a detailed examination of the reported atrocities but also raises questions about the moral implications of such actions in the context of modern warfare.
