Excerpt from First-Class Men: A Novel of German Army Life
Such is the foolish worship of caste in Germany that when a family of what may be called the citizen class becomes able to boast that one of its members is an oflieer in the army, it is thereby exalted above all others. And this endeavor after distinction is the prolific breeder of jealousies and heart burnings, and has all but beggared thousands of worthy fami lies which might otherwise have lived in peace and contentment.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exposà of the German army, its officers, and its feudal ideas, as told through the experiences of a young lieutenant in the prestigious Yellow Butteries regiment. The author relies on first-hand accounts and impartial witnesses to depict the stark contrast between the outward image of the German military and the brutal reality that lies beneath. The officers, obsessed with preserving their exclusive social status, maintain a rigid hierarchy and rigid code of conduct that has remained largely unchanged since the days of Emperor Nero, regarding themselves as vastly superior to enlisted men and civilians. The author explores the pernicious effects of militarism and its corrosive influence on the character of the officers, fostering arrogance, contempt, and a sense of impunity that often leads to horrific abuses of power. Ultimately, this book challenges the myth of the "first-class men" who lead the German army, revealing the deep-seated flaws and inherent dangers lurking beneath the surface of a supposedly elite military force.
