Abstract | This German monograph analyses the letters German soldiers sent from the battle front to the home front during World War I and their use in the contested construction of public war experiences and memories during the war and in the postwar period. The first part explores the war correspondence in a military context, including the mood monitoring and censorship by the military and state. The second part studies war correspondence as a medium of reported and published eye-wittness experiences in the public of the war period. The third part examines field post letters as medium of published eyewitness accounts on the First World War in the interwar period, which contributed to the contested construction of the war memories. |
