With such a passport it is small wonder that he passed easily into the very Holy of Holies of our chief enemy—Hindenburg’s headquarters—incidentally flouting the restrictions and wrath of the authorities in Berlin.
What Mr. de Beaufort has to tell us of the man whom Germany undoubtedly regards as the “Hub of the Universe,” is well worthy of the efforts and sacrifices he made to reach him.
The interview proved to be the prelude to a visit to the Eastern front of intense interest to us in the West, for whom that part of the Continental battle-area still seems somewhat remote and mythical. We get a succession of vivid war scenes in Poland and East Prussia, and the author throws light on campaigns such as the much-boomed “Battle of the Masurian Lakes,” of which too little is known in this country.
Not less interesting than the Author’s adventures in the field is his series of interviews with the most eminent men in the military, naval, political and industrial world of Germany, and his visit to the German naval bases.
