About This Book
The author compiles documentary evidence alleging systematic violations of the laws of war by German forces during the European conflict, detailing widespread pillage, arson, bombardment of cities and cultural monuments, and civilian deaths. The account catalogs executions, deportations, ill-treatment of prisoners, sexual violence, and forcible removal of young people, presenting these as methodical rather than isolated excesses. It interrogates neutral defenses and examines the moral and diplomatic consequences of such conduct, arguing that these practices undermine claims of civilisation and will leave deep, lasting enmity between affected peoples.
