Notes
This book studies the return of the German Army on the Western Front to the Homeland. In their efforts to get home as soon as possible, most soldiers were indifferent to the political struggles within the Reich, while those who remained under arms proved powerless to defend the republic from its enemies. The book considers why these soldiers' response to the revolution was so different from that of the rest of the Army, and the implications this would have for the course of the German Revolution and. ultimately, for the fate of the Weimar Republic itself.
