Not that we desire to take away from the German people as such the responsibility which attaches to them, but we desire to add some names thereto.
The first responsible party whom we must mention is the German nation, and explicitly9 the German army judged by its private soldiers. It is upon the German private soldier, indisputably, that the shame of what we have just read recoils10. It was the private soldiers who committed the greater part of the crimes which we have noticed: they were the principal authors of these crimes. But it must be added that the leaders consistently encouraged them. In several instances they acted on explicit8 instructions from officers, and even from generals.
