Crown Prince Says He Never Wanted War
Frederick William Hohenzollern, still claiming the crown prince title, told an AP reporter in a cottage on the island of Wieringen that he would return to Germany as a citizen if a republic were formed and would work in a factory if needed. He blamed the war’s end on hunger, revolution, and Entente manpower, criticized the German general staff and Ludendorff, praised Wilson, and said air raids and submarine warfare were misapplied. He described his current simple life in Holland, learning Dutch, and noted his wife would stay in Berlin with their children.
