Peter Becker, Hans Theyer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Du Schwert an meiner Linken: Ein Roman aus der deutschen Armee" by Rudolph Stratz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story immerses readers into the ceremonial and social lives of German army officers and their families, centering on themes of duty, ambition, and personal relationships within the regimental setting. The narrative particularly follows Oberleutnant Erich von Logow, a respected officer whose career advancement and romantic entanglements form the core of the plot. The opening of the novel is set around the festivity of the Kaiser's birthday, providing a vivid tableau of army social life and traditions in a provincial garrison town. The scene shifts between the officers' banquet—with its formal toasts, camaraderie, and rituals—and the parallel gathering of officers' wives and daughters. Stratz introduces a cast of characters including the regiment’s commanding officers, the socially prominent Ottersleben family, and the ambitious von Logow. Early developments involve Logow’s promotion and his discreet romantic intentions, culminating in an understated yet tense conversation regarding marriage prospects. The emotional landscape is further enriched by family dynamics, social expectations, and the aspirations of both officers and their loved ones. This layered beginning sets the tone for a narrative exploring both the outward structure and the inner lives of the Wilhelmine German military milieu.
