The pact of the "People's Representatives" with their enemies!
On November 10, 1918, the German ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had abdicted the day before under the pressure of the revolution...
...had abdicated, crossed the German-Dutch border in Eijsden and fled to exile in the Netherlands.
The image that has become famous shows the ex-monarch at Eijsden station, just before his train departs...:
Through the mediation of the Dutch government (Beerenbrouck cabinet under Prime Minister Charles Ruijs de Beerenbrouck), Wilhelm and his entourage initially find accommodation with Count Godard von Bentinck in Amerongen Castle (near Utrecht)...:
Only there - in Amerongen - does the defunct emperor find time to formalize his abdication in a legally sound manner and to renounce the throne for himself and his son in writing...:
In the German media, the ex-Kaiser is at best still scorned...:
In the meantime, a so-called "Council of People's Representatives" is taking over power in the German capital of Berlin!
The Council consists exclusively of Social Democrats, who, however, come from two different parties, since a more left-wing "Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany" (USPD) had previously split off from the SPD.
At that time, the previous SPD was known as the "Social Democratic Party of Germany - Majority" (MSPD).
Here the "People's Representatives"...:
Emil Barth (USPD),
Otto Landsberg (MSPD),
Friedrich Ebert (MSPD),
Hugo Haase (USPD),
Wilhelm Dittmann (USPD),
Philipp Scheidemann (MSPD)
To be on the safe side, the Council of People's Representatives is confirmed by the "workers' and soldiers' councils" based on the Soviet model that have since been formed in Berlin.
Here a meeting of the workers' and soldiers' councils in the Berlin Reichstag building - the podium is draped with red cloth...:
And as soon as the new "People's Representatives" are reasonably firmly in the saddle after the placement of the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils, they go "to bed" with the old power, so to speak!
Because on the same day the "People's Commissioner" meets Ebert - secretly, of course! - on the phone a far-reaching agreement with General Wilhelm Groener...
...who on October 26, 1918 was appointed by Kaiser Wilhelm II as Chief of the Supreme Army Command and thus became the successor to the overpowering Hindenburg-Ludendorff duo:
The army will - under Groener's leadership - restore "law and order", "fight off Bolshevism" and ensure "discipline in the troops".
But remains - according to Ebert's promise...
...the full authority of the officers is unrestricted and the commanders are appointed by the Reich government (which is to emerge from the "Council of People's Representatives").
The soldiers' councils, which want to completely abolish this command authority of the officers or at least introduce a double leadership according to the Soviet model (commander AND commissioner - any order is only valid if it comes from BOTH!), of course, suspect nothing of this!
And after the officers had "burned out" hundreds of thousands of soldiers on all fronts in senseless assaults for four years, the "People's Representatives" would have been hung from the nearest lantern if the "Groener-Ebert Pact" had become known!
Of course, the people in whose name the "people's representatives" pretend to act know nothing...!
And - logically - that the MSPD officials dumped the three USPD politicians from the "Council of People's Representatives" after a very short time.
The army will soon use the "Groener-Ebert Pact" to take bloody and massive action against everything that appears "left" in its eyes.
On January 15, 1919, this will include the well-known politicians of the "Spartacus League", Rosa Luxemburg...
...and Karl Liebknecht...
...cost their lives, being murdered by Freikorps members of the former Guards Cavalry Division.
Of course, the military around Groener did nothing against the Freikorps and other right-wing activities! Because as Groener's successor General Hans von Seekt said...
...in January 1920: "Troops don't shoot at troops!"
Be that as it may: the plague bacillus, the alliance between the republic and its reactionary opponents, is in the world and the Weimar Republic will perish in 1933!
And it's not even founded yet...
After the SPD - despite all declarations of international workers' solidarity! - voted in the Reichstag for war credits in 1914 (and thus paved the way financially for the First World War), after the SPD agreement with the Wilhelmine military became known, a word that is known today is finally in the world...:
