"Watching on the Rhine" by Violet R. Markham is an observational account written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I Germany, it explores the complexities of life during the Allied occupation, particularly in the city of Cologne. Through the author's eyes, readers witness the struggles of a nation grappling with defeat and the nuances of human interactions between the occupying forces and the local populace. The opening of the book introduces us to the author’s journey as she arrives in the war-torn landscape of France and then crosses into Germany, where the effects of the war linger. The narrative captures the stark contrasts between the devastation left in France and the seemingly normal life that continues in Germany. Markham reflects on the scenery, the people, and her emotional responses to encountering German civilians, expressing both curiosity and conflict as she contemplates their demeanor in the wake of defeat. Her descriptions are vivid as she navigates through occupied territory and meets a variety of characters along the way, setting the stage for deeper explorations of the sociopolitical landscape and the personal stories that unfold during this tumultuous period.
