Professor Dellu uek, one ol the three expert members ol the committee appointed for the purpose ol analysing the report on the cause of German military collapse in tin.- war in HIM, accuse,-; Von Ludendorli of deliberately misleading tbe German people, who thereafter lost, faith and confidence, and the natipii lost its fighting power. Subsequently, be says, tbe revolution succeeded, not because it was backed by an overpowering force but 1 localise the representatives of Kaiserdom had lost lailh in themselves. “The German army unquestionably suffered defeat on July 18 and August 8.” Me maintains that the Germans even to-day are- misled by the reiteration ol the phrase, which is entirely meaningless, namely, that the army left the field uircouquered.
