In many ways the German soldiers who marched back from the Western
Front at the end of World War I held the key to the future of the
newly-created republic that replaced the Kaiser's collapsed
monarchy. To the radical Left, the orderly columns of front-line
troops appeared to be the forces of the counterrevolution while to
the conservative elements of society they seemed to be the
Fatherland's salvation. However, in their efforts to get home as
soon as possible, most soldiers were indifferent to the political
struggles within the Reich, while the remnant that remained under
arms proved powerless to defend the republic from its enemies. This
book considers why these soldiers' response to the revolution was
so different from the rest of the army and the implications this
would have for the course of the German Revolution and, ultimately,
for the fate of the Weimar Republic itself.
