As it is necessary to open the eyes of neutrals, many of whom have been
misled by the German propaganda, we must try to expose very clearly the
inner workings of the Pangerman plot as it is revealed to us in the
searchlight of facts.
From 1892 down to the outbreak of the War, that is to say, for twenty-two
years, the Pangerman movement has developed with ever growing intensity;
a multitude of publications, giving full details of the plan, were
scattered among the German people, in order to excite in them the greed
of conquest and so prepare them for the struggle through the allurement
of plunder. Of these publications two are of special importance: first,
the pamphlet published under the auspices of the _Alldeutscher Verband_:
namely, _Grossdeutschland und Mitteleuropa um das Jahr 1950_ (Thormann
und Goetsch, Berlin, 1895), which gives the Pangerman plan of 1895:
second, the book of Otto Richard Tannenberg: _Grossdeutschland, die
Arbeit des 20ᵗᵉⁿ Jahrhunderts_ (Bruno Volger, Leipzig-Gohlis, 1911),
which gives all suitable details of the plan of 1911.
Unfortunately, although this Pangerman literature is very considerable,
full of documentary evidence and spread broadcast among the masses by
most powerful associations, whose patrons are the highest authorities
in the land, few people outside of Germany would believe in its extreme
importance. But now the facts speak for themselves. The reality, the
extent, and the successive stages of the Pangerman plan of 1911 are shown
by:
1º. The course which Germany has taken since August 1st, 1914, in her
political and military operations which have for their object not, as
many have supposed, the obtaining of securities, but the annexation of
territories in the manner set forth in Tannenberg’s book, and more or
less in accordance with the plan of 1911.
