Christine Sees Potsdam Woods and Courtly Tensions
In a Berlin diary entry dated June, 1918, Christine wanders Potsdam to escape city heat, notes German officers’ vigor, describes a tense Koseritz gathering with Helena’s calm gaze and a misaligned blouse mishap, and ends with Frau Berg predicting war after news of an Austrian prince’s assassination. She reflects on class, nerves, and possible upheaval as she records daily life near war.
