Confessions of Barbarity from War Diaries
Extracts from diaries of Austrian and German POWs describe massacres by Hungarian soldiers near Chabatz and villages in Belgium, with civilians killed, houses burned, and women and children forced to witness. Accounts include victims at Spontin and Dinant, and reference to broader atrocities. The piece argues these events illustrate the barbarity of the foe and urges decisive action.
