Beschreibung

In "German Atrocities: Their Nature and Philosophy," Newell Dwight Hillis delves into the heinous acts committed during World War I, offering a profound analysis of the psychological and sociopolitical factors that underpinned these atrocities. The book is characterized by Hillis's eloquent prose and deeply reflective tone, drawing on historical evidence and philosophical inquiry to explore the moral implications of wartime actions. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century socio-political upheaval, Hillis's work also engages with contemporary debates about nationalism, militarism, and ethics, positioning itself firmly within the tradition of social critique prevalent in American literature of the period. Hillis, an influential minister and author known for his progressive views, draws upon his extensive experience in public speaking and social reform to illuminate the moral complexities surrounding warfare. His background, including a robust education in theology and philosophy, provides a unique lens through which he critiques the justifications for violence and the dehumanization of the enemy. This multifaceted approach sheds light not only on the events of the war but also on humanity's capacity for cruelty and the imperative for moral accountability. Readers seeking to understand the philosophical ramifications of wartime conduct will find this book invaluable. Hillis's articulate examination of moral philosophy in conjunction with firsthand historical account invites reflection on how the lessons of the past resonate with contemporary conflicts. "German Atrocities" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of history, ethics, and the enduring struggle for human rights.

    War has always led to prisoners. In ancient times, many were turned into slaves by the victorious armies, while in medieval Europe, they were often returned to their families in return for a ransom, leading to fortune or poverty depending upon which side one was on. By the Napoleonic era, as armies grew in size and professionalism, many were kept in camps for the duration of the fighting, their captors not wanting to restore their enemies' manpower while the fate of nations hung in the balance. 
    Prisoners were taken across the world, and prisoners of war were typically comprised of two classes: officers and other ranks. Officers were often treated well, as there was still a sort of aristocratic courtesy among officers, particularly among the Germans, British, French, and somewhat less so for the Russians, Italians, and Turks. Concepts such as honor still held considerable currency, and bravery was greatly admired. Enemy officers as a class often had more in common with each other than with the millions of draftees in their armies, so enlisted men as POWs generally were not as well treated. 
    	Regardless of rank though, throughout the war, many of these men did not sit idle. Many spent their time preparing elaborate escape plans in the hopes of returning to their home nations and back to the fight.  
    The Second World War was full of escape stories, some bold, some tragic, and most filled with courage and ingenuity. The greatest number of successful escapes was made by Allied troops in Europe, including soldiers left behind after the fall of France and airmen shot down in bombing raids, but escapes happened across the world, from Canadian trains to German castles, and from the mountains of Italy to the wilds of Australia. Axis as well as Allied troops made their bids for freedom, keeping both sides on their toes. Everybody was looking to make the next great escape.
