The text serves to expose and document the horrific acts committed by German troops during World War I, particularly in Belgium, highlighting the moral and ethical violations perpetrated against civilians. It relies on a range of sources, including official reports and firsthand accounts, to paint a disturbing picture of wartime brutality. At the start of the work, the author presents a preface that sets the tone for what is to follow, emphasizing the urgency in providing an honest portrayal of the German military actions that have led to widespread suffering. Le Queux describes the systematic and horrific atrocities inflicted upon the Belgian populace, portraying the German forces as barbaric invaders motivated by a ruthless military ethos. The opening argument establishes that these acts are not random but are part of a deliberate strategy to instill fear and suppress resistance among the civilian population, drawing comparisons to historical figures like Attila and setting the stage for a detailed examination of the inhumanity committed during the war.
