• Statement of Responsibility: Susanne Kuss.

Some historians have traced a line from Germany's atrocities in its colonial wars to those committed by the Nazis during WWII. Susanne Kuss dismantles these claims, rejecting the notion that a distinctive military ethos or policy of genocide guided Germany's conduct of operations in Africa and China, despite acts of unquestionable brutality.
