Hindenburg reflects on army stay to save Germany and armistice
In a wartime interview at his headquarters, Field Marshal von Hindenburg explains he remained at the army head to prevent chaos, cites the immense burden of delivering locomotives and rail cars under armistice terms, and warns that continued Allied blockade caused German suffering while expressing hope for normalized U.S. relations and caution about political forces in Berlin. Gen von Groener discusses strategic strain, Bolshevik threats, and the future government structure, stressing unity with Ebert's administration to avert civil unrest.
