I had reckoned on their doing so, if the balance of war continued in our favor, even if the unrestricted submarine campaign had not opened. The Ger- man-American population had little influence. . * . I was fully in agreement with the suggestion in December, 1916, that President Wilson be induced to make a proposal of peace to the powers and secretly very pleased that it was made, although I was sceptical of success. . J * After discussion with my assistants I used to lay my ideas for the initiation and conduct of all operations briefly and concisely before the Field Marshal Hindenburg. I havé the satis- faction of knowing that from Tannenberg to my resignation in October, 1918, he always agreed with my views and approved my draft orders. es £5 We had to put up with the fact (after the great retreat in France in 1917) that the enemy turned our exceedingly thorough demolition of territory and dispersal of the inhabitants to account in order once more to call us Huns. One cannot blame them. . If the Russian successes in July, 1917, had occurred in April and May (when the French and British were attacking) I do not see how General Headquarters could have mastered the situation. During these two months it was the Russian Revolution alone that saved us from serious trouble. : *@ se 8 When, in March, 1918, we attacked with the balance of numbers more in our favor than had previously been the case, our strength sufficed to win great victories but not to bring about a rapid decision. Then it dwindled, while the enemy grew stronger. The burden of his new and high position was too heavy for Emperor Charles. He was always striving and at the same time giving way to many men and in many matters, Em- press Zita was in the hands of priests unfriendly to us. ss 8 & It was not only in Berlin but in Vienna also that a statesman was lacking who was equal to the demands of this war.
