Ludendorff describes the Belgian campaign to seize Liege forts and launch the invasion. He notes war alarms, crown prince maneuvers, and claims Belgian civilians fired on German troops. He warns of nervous troops and questions the odds of success before war began.
The narrative recalls Ludendorff’s bold entry into Liege during the early war period. He led a brigade past the forts, taking charge when the vanguard faltered, a daring move that propelled his rise in German military ranks and shaped perceptions of his character. Command records note Hindenburg remained the human face for the nation’s hero status.
General Erich von Ludendorff recalls the Liege fortress raid as the bold start of Germany’s 1914 victories under Count von Schlieffen. He outlines the Belgium neutrality issue, the westward focus to avert a long war with Russia, and his long tenure on the German general staff with insights into wartime preparations and opposing forces.
The narrative covers a high ranking officer's wartime experiences from 1912 to early August 1914. It details mobilization, command shifts, staff roles, and the initial Belgian campaign, including the Liege fortifications, Belgian civilian resistance, and early combat near Wise and Retinue, with reflections on discipline and morale.
The Belgian royal family led by Queen of the Belgians and King Albert toured Niagara Falls and the Canadian side, enjoying the falls from Goat Island and the Maid of the Mist.
