Volume 4 of The Other Side of the Wire looks at the events that
occurred in preparation for the German Offensives of 1918; the last
attempt to bring victory to the German Army. The book describes the
experiences of the men of the 26th and 28th Reserve Divisions as
the men prepared for the Spring Offensives, the attacks and the
subsequent events that took place until November 1918. The book
continues to follow the events of these divisions following the
series of offensives and the eventual collapse of the German armies
in the west, up through the final months of the war until the
Armistice and the journey home. The book looks at the collapse of
the structure of the German forces; from a powerful force until it
was no more than an empty shell of its former self. In the past it
was assumed that the German Army was not defeated in the field, and
as such the events of the last months of the war helped to spread
the concept of the army being stabbed in the back by the events
that occurred inside Germany with political unrest. This volume
will show what truly happened within the army ranks. While many
books end at the Armistice on 11 November 1918, this volume will
take the reader into the post-war years, the creation of the
veteran organizations, the rise of the Nazi Party, and the decades
that followed the end of the Second World War. One major event that
is described in detail is what happened to the Jewish veterans of
the Great War during the reign of Adolf Hitler. The book, the final
volume in the series, completes the story of the men who went off
to war in 1914 with the flush of victory, and who ultimately faced
defeat four years later. It is unique in the sense that the books
follow the XIV Reserve Corps throughout the war and into the
post-war years, giving the reader a personal glimpse into a piece
of history that is all too often ignored; the personal aspect of
this important aspect of world history.
