Abstract

The Student Volunteer
Kien, Walter | February 26, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "German Students' War Letters," translated by A.F. Wedd. The letters express the mental attitude of the German student volunteer much more emphatically than any of the recent war novels could do. For though a war novel may revive the experiences of the war, it cannot conserve, as letters do, the ideology and outlook of those past days. It is significant of the heroism of a social group and generation, even though the letters were selected from a choice of about 20,000, all of which certainly did not manifest the same undoubting patriotism.
