To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Entre nous, would it not have been natural for the government to foment resistance? " " It would not only have been an inconsid- erate act, " came the emphatic answer, " but a positively criminal one on the part of our authorities, had they tried to do so. It would have been supreme folly for the civilian pop- ulation to oppose any resistance. Remember, they possessed practically no arms. Our people are not fools; they were conscious of their feebleness and knew very well that the German armi...es were formidable. " To verify his statements my informant led me into his library, and from a desk took out a bundle of papers which he placed before me. They were circulars issued by Govern- ment authorities and the mayors of the differ- ent towns, urging civilians to bring such weapons as they had to the Hotel de Villa WHERE THE HUNS HAVE PASSED 99 and remain quiet. Some of these circulars are reproduced in these pages. Their mes- sages conform to the following translations: To The Civilians.
