About this Item
Viii,48pp. An account of German uses of chemical warfare during World War II, by a former Generallieutenant of the Wehrmacht, Commander of the chemical warfare division. An extraordinary document, marked "Restricted" on each page, but with "Restricted" crossed out on the front. Ochsner begins by stating that chemical warfare was a demoralizing weapon, most useful against "simple-minded, primitive people," such as the Russians in World War I. Although the author, without documentation, had to rely upon his memory, damaged by "the impression that the collapse of the Fatherland had upon his mind," gives a detailed, chronological account. Part II was to have been "The Civilian Aspect." Stapled in printed self-wrappers. Toning and chips to covers; some pages dog-eared, and with light pencil underlining here and there. Ochsner was at first reluctant to write, as he feared reprisals against his brother, also a German general, and a prisoner in the USSR. Seller Inventory # 008032
