The literature on trench journalism is well-established for Britain
and France during the First World War, but this book is the first
systematic study in English of German soldier newspapers as a
representation of daily life and beliefs on the front. Printed by
and for soldiers at or near the front line these newspapers were
read by millions of 'ordinary soldiers'. They reveal an elaborately
defined understanding of comradeship and duty. The war of
aggression, the prolonged occupation on both fronts and the
hostility of the local populations were justified through a
powerful image of manly comradeship. The belief among many Germans
was that they were good gentlemen, fighting a just war and bringing
civilization to backward populations. This comparative study
includes French, British, Australian and Canadian newspapers and
sheds new light on the views of combatants on both sides of the
line.
