2. A PEOPLE’S WAR. Old Civil Railway Watchmen and young war volunteers in the German city of Göttingen, 5 September 1914. The old men, who had come forward to protect the railway from spies and saboteurs, are equipped with armlets and obsolete rifles. For the war volunteers, bayonets appear to be the only weapons left.

3. ATROCITIES (1). ‘Campaign of 1914. Marianne’s Punishment’. This German propaganda is supposed to be a humorous comment on the ability of the Kaiser’s army to beat the French Republic (personified by a wanton Marianne) but comes uncomfortably close to portraying the sexual rapacity of conquering soldiers.
