Excerpt from A German to Germans: An Open Letter
A grateful fatherland could not even manage to preserve from poverty or actual death from starvation the franco-prussian War veterans, although their number was nothing in compari son with that of the victims of the present hide ous world-war. Not long before the war there died in the wealthiest part of Berlin, within sight of flaunting mansions, an old soldier, an 1870 veteran, literally starved to death, after he had asked in vain for bread and work.
