War Minister Defends German Army Brutality Claims
Berlin December 11 War Minister Von Einem spoke in the Reichstag addressing charges of brutality and immorality among German officers. He admitted abuses exist and pledged reform while denying that such conduct was universal. He cited Bilsen's book as partly true but not representative, defended officers' relations with some women as exceptional, and attributed many faults to a few bad private soldiers and a hostile social climate under Social Democratic influence. He noted 50 officers and 577 NCOs were punished in the year to June, with a rate of one officer in four and one NCO in 1200 found guilty, emphasizing the army would stop mistreatment.
