Upper Silesia, 1921: the road to Annaberg
Kurt Eggers places fictional Lieutenant Karl Maßmann and his comrades inside the upheaval that followed Germany’s defeat in the First World War. Rebel Mountain centres on the Freikorps struggle for Annaberg in Upper Silesia, telling the story from a German nationalist perspective. The opening notice expressly distinguishes the invented Black Guard unit and its characters from the historical events behind the narrative.
Inside the book
