He also wrote under the pseudonyms Fritz von der Kyrburg and Fritz Wernthal. He became famous in 1903 with the military critical novel "From a Small Garrison Town". The novel, in which Lieutenant Bilse targets the customs of the garrison and the Prussian-German military, became a scandalous success. Bilse's military background is of direct importance to the genesis of the book. Bilse usually did not develop a good relationship with his superiors or his comrades: "The thoughtful young man becomes a critic of the army. Instead of becoming a member of the officers' corps, he takes on the role of a distant observer. In his company commander he finds a fatherly friend with whom he can discuss ideas about reforming the army. But he openly denies his commander the respect and incurs a number of disciplinary punishments." During a temporary dismissal in 1902, the novel From a Small Garrison was also written. In November 1903 a court martial took place in Metz. Bilse was found guilty of insulting his superiors and other senior officers, dishonorable discharge from the army and sentenced to six months in prison. His novel should be "withdrawn from circulation, the printing blocks destroyed". The ban does not seem to have lasted, however, as the 150th thousand of the book appeared in Braunschweig as early as 1904. The disclosure of appalling grievances in the army was discussed in the Reichstag , and even the emperor reacted with a secret decree "to all commanding generals with the instruction to pay attention to conditions like Bilse described them in their associations and to deal with them with even greater zeal. To guard morale and discipline in their troops". Bilse had suddenly become famous: from then on he was considered the enfant terrible of the German army. The novel was highly traded abroad, initially in France. As early as 1904, an English translation appeared with a protocol of the trial in the appendix as well as an introduction and a foreword in which the German-American writer Theodore Dreiser praised Bilse as a great realist.

Relié en demi basane marron, dos à deux nerfs, auteur et titre dorés, in-8, 19x13, papier légèrement jauni sur le bord, ouvrage probablement en 1ère édition française, bon état. 288 pages. Fritz Oswald Bilse (31 Mars 1878 - 1951) était un écrivain allemand, auteur dramatique et un lieutenant dans l'armée prussienne. Le Lieutenant Fritz Oswald BILSE né le 31 mars 1878 à KIRN est entré dans l'armée en 1896. Au début de 1900, il est muté au 16ème Train Bataillon à Forbach. C'est à partir de là qu'il perdit toutes ses illusions sur sa carrière militaire et l'armée allemande. En 1903, sous le pseudonyme de Fritz Von der Kyrburg, il écrit un roman satirique sur les murs de l'armée allemande dans les villes de garnison : Petite Garnison. Son roman déclenche un véritable scandale et le nom de Forbach y sera associé. Le Major Fuchs commandant du 16ème Train Bataillon y est ridiculisé (Colonel Von Kronau dans le livre), il portera plainte contre BILSE. Le procès pour injures envers ses supérieurs se tiendra devant le Conseil de guerre de Metz. Les débats se déroulerons du 9 au 11 novembre 1903. Les dépositions des témoins démontrent que le roman est un roman à clefs. L'interrogatoire des témoins jettera aussi une lumière assez crue sur la réalité des murs militaires que recouvre la fiction du roman. Le Lieutenant BILSE est condamné à six mois de prison et rayé des cadres de l'armée pour offenses envers ses supérieurs. Tous les exemplaires du roman seront détruits. Mais la publicité faite autour du procès ainsi que la mention sur la couverture du livre "Ouvrage interdit en Allemagne" fera du roman de BILSE un succès. Le livre sera traduit dans plus de vingt langues. [Site de Forbach à l'ancienne].
