My Mission In Finland And The Baltic Translation Rdiger Von Der Goltz by Rüdiger Von Der Goltz instant download after payment.

This is the first English translation of the 1920 war memoir of German
Army General Rüdiger von der Goltz (1865-1946). In 1918 he was sent from
the Western front of World War I to intervene in the Finnish civil war,
aiding the nationalist White Guards against the Reds. With a division
under his command, he helped the Whites secure a quick and complete
victory in Finland. This was the high-water mark of German success, as
Russia, in the chaos of revolution and civil war, had surrendered vast
stretches of conquered territory.
When its last great Western
offensive failed, though, Germany also collapsed into revolution and
sued for peace in November. As Bolshevik forces surged westward from
Russia into the newly independent Baltic States and Poland, the
victorious Entente powers, fearing the spread of communism, allowed
German defensive forces to remain in the East.
In February 1919
von der Goltz landed in western Latvia into what he called a "witches'
cauldron" of contending forces. Heading a corps of local Baltic Germans
and nationalist Freikorps volunteer units from Germany, von der Goltz
won substantial victories against Red forces; however, he then expanded
his defensive mission and strove to carve out a German sphere of
influence in the Baltic, in hopes of capturing Petersburg and replacing
the Bolshevik regime with a pro-German White Russian government. In this
he was thwarted.
After his forces were driven from the Baltic
in late 1919, von der Goltz, deeply embittered, sided with right-wing
forces hoping to overthrow the democratic Weimar German government;
later he became a supporter of Hitler and the National Socialist regime.
While this memoir is an important historical document for our
understanding of 20th-Century Central and Eastern European history, it
is also a fascinating story in its own right.
