Excerpt from Germany After the Armistice: A Report, Based on the Personal Testimony of Representative Germans, Concerning the Conditions Existing in 1919

Lieutenant berger's volume will rank high among post-war documents. It is not a treatise, not a philippic, not a plea for or against the order which has arisen in Germany since the Revolution. It is a report on conditions in Germany, moral and physical, such as the author found them during the armistice period - a report which bears all the earmarks of fidelity and open-mindedness.

It is, moreover, characterized by a vivid sense of values and a penetrating understanding of German psychology.

The New Germany or the New Prussia (for the author didn't carry his inquiry beyond the borders of Prussia) is described not as a hostile Entente critic might see it, but as the Germans, or Prus sians, themselves see it.

It was a happy idea to go among these people in the early period of the revolutionary reorganiza tion and to let them say for themselves what was their attitude toward the new order, and what were their mental reactions to their war crimes and to the peace of justice (to them a peace of violence) which the Allies were about to impose on them.
