Expert Talks on German Soldier Views After War Debate
A British military expert, quoted by Herbert Temple of International News Service in London, argues that universal compulsory service in Germany is misread as uniform soldiering. He explains differences among conscription, universal service, and voluntary enlistment, detailing Germany's term lengths, Reserve paths, and the Landwehr. He notes Britain benefits from a volunteer ethos and trained reserves, while cautious about overestimating German invincibility and stressing practical wartime experience over mere numbers.
