-----Messaggio originale----- Da: Heidelbauer Andreas <andreas.heidelbauer@student.uni-tuebingen.de> A: ernst-juenger-l@maillist.ox.ac.uk <ernst-juenger-l@maillist.ox.ac.uk> Data: giovedì, 4. febbraio 1999 12:38 Oggetto: Re: List Discipline OK, but even if I am wrong, would you really think it was a defense army by heart or only by the treaty of Versailles? It is perfectly clear that the Reichswehr never accepted the modest role she was confined by the Versailles Treaty and longed for the good moment to expand again. Practically every man was trained to assume a charge above his actual rank. It was a defensive army contre-coeur. Dont forget that most Germans sincerely believed to have lost WW I only by trahison (Dolchstosslegende) and considered Versailles a macrospcopic injustice and the treaty absolutely inconsistent with vital interests of the German People.
