Description

On August 3rd, 1914, on day 3 of the war, Hans and his colleagues, mostly family men in mid-career, marched off to war. They were in the Landwehr, the third tier of the Prussian army created primarily for border defense. The diary starts with the men relearning old skills of marching in the garrison town of Brieg, a scant 40 km from the Russian border. Nobody in Hans’s group expects the war to last more than 4 months. Certainly they don’t expect to see serious action. A few long, perhaps boring months and then back to the office where Hans was Director of the local branch of the Remington office machine company. What Hans and his mates did not know that in a few weeks they would be caught up in a whirlwind of clashing armies akin to Napoleon’s epic battles of marching, out-flanking, retreating, and counter-attacking. Contrary to the war in the West which stalemated quickly, the war in the East, for the six months of Hans’s diary, was dynamic, uncertain and very deadly. Here, is his story.
