Throughout World War 1 all news on the war reaching the German public in the media was strictly censored (and often manipulated) by the military. The German people were told that they were winning, despite the fact that there were severe food shortages, military defeats and so on. Nothing was done to prepare people for the defeat. This, together with the fact that Germany actually succeeded in defeating Russia, provided the breeding ground for the 'stab-in-the-back' theory - that is, the conspiracy theory that claimed that Germany had been stabbed in the back by subsersives on the home front and not really defeated. To those with a grasp of the realities, the amazing thing about WW1 was that Germany managed to hold out for so long against an alliance with far greater resources. Joncey
