About this book

"Germany's Dishonoured Army: Additional Records of German Atrocities in France" by Professor J. H. Morgan is a historical account penned during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. The book addresses the severe breaches of war ethics committed by German troops against both combatants and civilians during their occupation of France. Morgan meticulously investigates these allegations, drawing on first-hand testimonies from soldiers and other witnesses to provide a detailed report on the atrocities committed. In the text, Morgan recounts numerous incidents showcasing the brutal conduct of German soldiers, including the abuse of the white flag, deliberate killings of wounded soldiers, execution of prisoners, and various forms of violence against civilians, particularly women. The author also highlights systemic issues, suggesting that many of these outrages stemmed from orders given by higher authorities within the German military. The book serves as a comprehensive documentation of the moral degradation experienced during the conflict, aiming to expose the extent of inhumanity that occurred and to hold accountable those responsible for these actions.
