The audiobook "The End of World War I and the Stab-in-the-Back Legend" by Gerhard P. Gross offers an in-depth analysis of the events that led to the defeat of the German Empire in World War I. It highlights the beliefs of soldiers and the population up to 1918, who firmly believed in an impending victory. The decisive turning point came with the Battle of Amiens, where numerous tanks were used by the Allies for the first time. The audiobook addresses the Stab-in-the-Back Legend, which falsely attributed the military defeat to political unrest, and explains why this myth does not correspond to reality. It is part of the series "Wars of Modernity," which examines military conflicts of the 19th and 20th centuries based on the latest scientific findings and elucidates their historical causes and political consequences.
