Der Erste Weltkrieg in 100 Objekten
What remains today from the "primal disaster" of the 20th century? The collections of the German Historical Museum preserve thousands of objects that bear witness to the events and experiences of the First World War.
The book introduces 100 selected objects from the exhibition, e.g. the British field marshal uniform presented to Kaiser Wilhelm II before the war, a gas mask and surgical instruments from a military hospital, a letter of the artist Max Pechstein written from the front, or a pair of trousers made of paper yarn. They tell of the changes in the political landscape of Europe, the horrors of the battlefields and the deprivations on the “home front”. The objects paint a vivid picture of the historical events and their contexts. Eye witness accounts from the museum’s collections tell of the fate of individual people in the “Great War” of 1914 to 1918.
