The Kaiser as I Knew Him for Fourteen Years
A veteran observer recalls German life from 1915 to 1918 detailing mobilization fever in Frankfort and Berlin, food shortages, rationing, and social breakdown. He notes police actions against suspected spies, price gouging by profiteers, and the decline of honesty under wartime strain. The narrative predicts future revolutions and a collapse of the Hohenzollern regime, ending with a call to join the Red Cross.
