I have a date of death of December 11, 1930, but no source. Rbraunwa 16:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Pacifist?
He is supposed to have said to the Americans that he did not really like war. An English propagandist is scathing:
MISUNDERSTOOD
Bernhardi "Indeed I am the most humane fellow in the world"
It need not necessarily be supposed that the directors of German destiny, who are not devoid of intelligence, took the ravings of Bernhardi over-seriously. He had his special uses no doubt before the day. But on the morrow of the day, when questions of responsibility came to be raised, he became one of many inconvenient witnesses; and there has scarcely been a better joke among the grim humours of this catastrophe than the mission of this Redhot-Gospeller of the New Unchivalry of War to explain to "those idiotic Yankees" that he was really an ardent pacifist. The most just, the most brilliant, the most bitter pamphlet of invective could surely not say so much as this reeking cleaver, those bloody hands, that fatuous leer and gesture, this rigid victim. Bernhardism was not a mere windy theory. It was exactly practised on the Belgian people. -JOSEPH THORP
Now, when was this supposed to have happened? If this can be properly sourced, it could be included in the article. 213.205.240.183 (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
