General Ludendorff explains how German forces advanced rapidly, compelling Bolshevik leaders to sign terms. He says he had no wish to destroy Russia but laments losing the Baltic states. He claims captured stores were seized as Slavs offered little resistance, notes German gains could allow looting Ukraine, and praises the Czechs as fierce fighters.

Impatient To Begin 1918 Drive By German Leaders
In preceding chapters Ludendorff argued with Berlin and Vienna over relations with Trotzky and the Bolsheviks at Brest Litovsk. He sought terms that kept Germany dominant in the Baltic and Poland and toppled the Russian army to free troops for a spring and summer push. Friction with Hindenburg and officials led to an imperial conference at Homburg where the Kaiser approved military measures to pressure the Bolsheviks. The consequences are recounted.
