Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. Published in 1917 during the First World War, this scarce memoir presents the purported firsthand experiences of a German soldier who deserted the Imperial German Army. Translated by J. Koettgen and issued by B. W. Huebsch in New York, the narrative follows the author's service from the invasion of Belgium through major campaigns on the Western Front, including the crossing of the Meuse, the Battle of the Marne, trench warfare in the Argonne, and the brutal realities of life in the German ranks. Chapters describe military discipline, combat conditions, relations between soldiers and civilians, battlefield casualties, and the author's eventual escape through Holland to safety. Written while the war was still underway, the book offers a contemporary perspective on the conflict and reflects both the historical realities and political sentiments of the period. It remains of interest to collectors of World War I history, military memoirs, wartime publishing, and early twentieth-century eyewitness accounts.
