Mutinous Iron Division Faces Baltic Land Claims
Berlin reports the so called Iron division mutiny amid Baltic tensions as German officers seek land for soldiers in Lettland and Lithuania. Originating from Gen von der Goltz's actions and Courland unrest, the movement demands 15 acre land grants and a 30 percent postwar army share. Estimates place the force around half a million, with resistance to Lettish governance and protests over treaties and citizenship promises.
