War Studies on Humanities Commons 9 months, 2 weeks ago
This essay offers a revisionist interpretation of the Imperial German officer corps, whose members have long enjoyed a schizophrenic reputation in the historiography as either consummate military professionals or feudalistic representatives of a bygone political system. Using the career of Wilhelm Groener (1867-1939). it reexamines the relationship between social background and occupation in the Imperial German officer corps.
