As Master So Is Serf in German War Brutality
The piece argues the rule of "as master so is serf" applies to Germany under despotic rule. It condemns the brutal civil and military violence, including attacks on women and children, torpedoed ships, and indiscriminate cruelty, claiming such savagery reflects the regime’s inbred evil. The author contrasts the ruthless, unrestrained fighter with protective combatants who defend civilians.
