But Gabriel possesses that gift in bucketloads." - Simon Critchley, New School for Social Research.

Gerhard Schultze-Pfaelzer (born July 7, 1891 in Darkehmen , â October 13, 1952 in Berlin ) was a German writer and political publicist and a close confidante of the Reich President of the Weimar Republic Paul von Hindenburg. Schultze-Pfaelzer studied history and political science in Tübingen, Vienna and Leipzig and a doctorate in Leipzig with a thesis on the philosophy of Hegel Dr. phil. During his studies he became a member of the Association of German Students in Berlin. After he did his military service in World War I from 1914 to 1917. Due to an accident, he worked in the Image and Film Office from 1917 until the end of the war. In 1934 Schultze-Pfaelzer was imprisoned for several months because, according to his own account, he was able to uncover the lie of the Hindenburg Testament, which allegedly recommended Adolf Hitler as his successor. Gerhard Schultze-Pfaelzer appeared on June 18, 1947 in the Nuremberg war criminals trial against Franz von Papen as a witness of the large court. Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg (2 October 1847 - 2 August 1934) was a German general and statesman who led the Imperial German Army during World War I and later became President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. During his presidency, he played a key role in the Nazi seizure of power in January 1933 when, under pressure from advisers, he appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. Paul von Hindenburg was born on 2 October 1847 to Prussian nobility. He saw combat during the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars. In 1873, he was admitted to the prestigious Kriegsakademie in Berlin where he studied for 3 years before being appointed to the Army's General Staff Corps. Later in 1885, he was promoted to the rank of major and became a member of the Great General Staff. Following a five-year teaching stint at the Kriegsakademie, Hindenburg steadily rose through the army's ranks to become a lieutenant-general by 1900. Around the time of his promotion to General of the Infantry in 1905, Count Alfred von Schlieffen recommended that he succeed him as Chief of the Great General Staff but the post ultimately went to Helmuth von Moltke in January 1906. In 1911, Hindenburg announced his retirement from the military. Following World War I's outbreak in July 1914, he was recalled to military service and quickly achieved fame on the Eastern Front as the victor of Tannenberg. Subsequently, he oversaw a crushing series of victories against the Russians that made him a national hero and the center of a massive personality cult. By 1916, Hindenburg's popularity had risen to the point that he replaced General Erich von Falkenhayn as Chief of the Great General Staff. Thereafter, he and his deputy, General Erich Ludendorff, exploited Emperor Wilhelm II's broad delegation of power to the German Army to establish a de facto military dictatorship that dominated national policy for the rest of the war. Under their leadership, Germany secured Russia's defeat in the east and achieved advances on the Western Front deeper than any seen since the conflict's outbreak. However, by the end of 1918, all improvements in Germany's fortunes were reversed after the German Army was decisively defeated in the Second Battle of the Marne and the Allies' Hundred Days Offensive. Upon his country's capitulation to the Allies in the November 1918 armistice, Hindenb.

Hardcover. Condition: good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xvii, [1], 321, [1] pages. Bibliography. Index. Ink name and address inside front flyleaf. Some wear to board and spine edges. Some pages chipped. The author was a Lieutenant with the French Navy who was attached to the Historical Section of the French Ministry of Marine. He also was a Doctor of Law. He is believe to be the same person who was Capitaine de corvette et le directeur du cabinet de l'Amiral Darlan (de février 1941 à novembre 1942). The book is divided into three parts: the conduct by the Allied Powers of the economic naval war; how the economic naval war affected the neutrals (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Spain) and the negotiations which ensued between the neutrals and the Allies; and the effects of the measures taken by the Allies upon the economic life of the Central Empires. The first part, "The conduct of the naval economic war by the Allied Powers," is divided into three chapters, the length of which depends upon the degree of intensity of submarine warfare, the truth being that the submarine and the naval economic war were closely connected, as action and reaction followed one upon another. The month of February played an important part in naval warfare, it was then that the various Admiralties made the important decisions because they were in possession by then of the economic results of the previous year and were almost in a position to make an economic forecast for the year ensuing.
