This is Volume II of II comprising the authorized translation of Prince Max of Baden’s German memoirs published in 1927 (original German title: Erinnerungen und Dokumente). This translation was first published in 1928.
“NOT long after the Revolution, when it became clear that an essential share of the blame for the German collapse would be ascribed to me, I decided to give a public account of my stewardship. I soon realized that I could only explain the actual connection of events both to the German people and to myself if I submitted the charges made against me to a careful examination, and also made up my mind to understand the point of view of my opponents.
“As early as 1919 I found myself compelled to define my attitude to the disputed happenings of 9th November. I did this in a publication which was printed in all the newspapers but was virtually hushed up in the controversial literature.
“In the study and self questioning of eight years I think I have got as near the truth as I can.
“In the course of my work my apologia has grown into something different—an account based on original sources of that fateful epoch of the history of Germany in which I was involved. I put my trust in the weight of the facts.” (Prince Max of Baden)
