The International Migration of German Great War Veterans
Emotion, Transnational Identity, and Loyalty to the Nation, 1914-1942
Samenvatting
This book uses
story-telling to recreate the history of German veteran migration after the
First World War. German veterans of the Great War were among Europe’s most
volatile population when they returned to a defeated nation in 1918, after
great expectations of victory and personal heroism. Some ex-servicemen chose to
flee the nation for which they had fought, and begin their lives afresh in the
nation against which they had fought: the United States.
