Former Kaiser Refuses Interview Repeats Silence in Holland
In Amersfoort on December 3, the former German emperor, facing possible criminal charges, refused to speak for publication. He confirmed loyalty to the current German government and said he would not comment until formal charges are issued. He also endorsed the crown prince’s claim about the Kruger telegram, admitting he signed it under pressure and would take full responsibility. The telegram, sent January 3, 1896, praised Kruger after Jameson’s raid and signaled Germany’s flirtation with the Transvaal amid British supervision concerns.
