Description
Kriegsbriefe gefallener Studenten, edited by Philipp Witkop, is a collection of letters written by German university students who died during the First World War. First published in 1916 and later expanded, the book presents personal reflections on military service, life at the front, friendship, fear, patriotism and the prospect of death. The letters offer a glimpse into the experiences and attitudes of young German intellectuals during the war, while also reflecting the nationalistic ideals through which their sacrifice was interpreted in the years that followed. An important historical source for readers interested in German literature, wartime correspondence and the cultural memory of the First World War.
