- Notes:
- The young Arnold Toynbee had left teaching to do propaganda work for the British Government during the war, aimed mainly at persuading the U.S. to engage. Working as an assistant to Lord Bryce, he first produced a landmark work on the Armenian genocide, then turned his attention to the war in Belgium and France. McNeill 1989, 74-75. The book focuses on German atrocities in France, and the map supports the analysis by charting exactly which German forces were in which locations. But it's the red that tells the story.
For a German map of the same area using bright red to persuade the German people to thank its troops for protecting them from the devastating plight of the French, see ID #2231, "Die brennende Wunde Frankreichs [The Burning Wound of France]."
