Excerpt from German Theory and Practice of War
Nearly all the phases of the German methods of war are to be found in four episodes.
At Gerbeviller, in the Department of the meurthe-ci-mo selle, on the 24th August, about 60 french chassews c'i pied, after heroically withstanding the attack of the German troops retired. The Germans rushed into the town, pillaged, burn ed and massacred. More than 100 people disappeared from Gerbeviller during the day. At least 50 were massacred. Fifteen bodies found with their hands tied behind their backs were buried by their fellow citizens at a place called La Prele which had been chosen by the Germans as an execu tion ground. Other victims were killed in the houses and in the streets.
The soldiers entered the house inhabited by the Liugen held family, led away the son,aged 36, and shot him. They returned later, took the father, aged 70, to La Prele, and shot him there. The mother as she was escaping saw the body of her son stretched out on the ground, still moving.
Some soldiers drenched the dying man with petrol and set fire to him.

The descriptions in this book offer unique insights into the brutality of warfare and the devastating consequences it had on the people. Beyond exposing the systematic violence, the book also examines the broader theoretical ideas that fuelled such practices.
