| Summary |
"German Atrocities: An Official Investigation" by J. H. Morgan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work investigates alleged atrocities committed by German forces during World War I, with an emphasis on a detailed analysis of the German White Book, which attempted to justify these actions. The book aims to compile evidence of war crimes and examine the credibility of claims made by both sides of the conflict. The opening portion of the text sets up the context for the investigation into German actions during the war, indicating that Morgan was commissioned to gather testimonies following allegations of breaches of international law by German troops. He details the methodology employed for collecting evidence, which involved direct inquiries with military personnel and analyzing reports by various diplomatic and military authorities. Morgan outlines a range of unique circumstances regarding the treatment of prisoners of war and the conduct of German soldiers in occupied areas, providing a critical framework for discussing the moral implications of these wartime actions. Through meticulous research, he aims to highlight the extent and systematic nature of the alleged atrocities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
