Excerpt from Extraordinary Commission of Inquiry Appointed by Order of His Majesty the Emperor of Russia
This protest from His Imperial Highness Prince Oldenburg failed, however, to produce the desired effect. There was no cessation of these attacks with bombs from aeroplanes and rifle and artillery fire on Russian hospitals, lazarettos, sanitary trains and transports. They not only went on as before, but their constant repetition became so systematic as to leave no room for doubt that in an overwhelming majority of cases, at least, these attacks were specially directed against Russian sanitary establishments and servants of the Red Cross, and that they only formed part of a general plan adopted against us by the Austro - Hungarian and German Governments for the conduct of this campaign.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulous examination of the extensive and systematic abuse of medical personnel and facilities during World War One. It draws from original source material, including first-person accounts, to uncover the truth of these events. The author traces the progression of events from the initial stages of the war, when anecdotal evidence emerged, through the establishment of the Extraordinary Commission of Inquiry. This ultimately led to the exposure of widespread atrocities committed against Russian medical personnel and sanctuaries, confirming the intentional nature of these attacks. The book provides historical context, exploring the obligations of warring parties under the Geneva Convention, and includes a selection of documented cases, providing vivid illustrations of the brutality inflicted on those tasked with providing medical care on the battlefields of World War One. It serves as a chilling reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of upholding humanitarian principles.
