Ehrenrettung:
Die Glaubwürdigkeit der
Deutschen Soldaten u. Einer Nation
This
a-political site is dedicated to the honor of the individual German
soldier who fought honorably for his country. Military history is the
focus of the topic, although political ramifications will be considered
as they relate to strategy and policy, in terms of Carl von Clausewitz's
dictum "War is the continuation of policy by other means." In reviewing
many of the history books, the individual German soldier has been collectively
accused as a member of a criminal fraternity (military history can not
be simplified). How
did Barbarism become synonymous with the Germans? These questions
and more complex issues will be examined in the Ehrenrettung studies that
will consider various components of German history since 9 A.D., with
special emphasis on 1806 when German militarism was reborn.
A prerequisite for such
an undertaking must include the establishment of an objective and bias-free
foundation of knowledge. A historical
timeline is available for a general overview of German military and
political history from 9 A.D. to 1945. From the historical timeline you
will have the opportunity to excursion into a certain era of a history,
and discover more about the warring nation of Germany. The following manuscripts
will provide the ground work and basis for study and discussion available
in a PDF format (if you do not have the PDF reader download it from www.adobe.com):
