EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and evocative image from the early years of the First World War, a German soldier, clad in his distinctive uniform complete with pointed helmet, humbly bows his head and presses a tender kiss to the red, white, and black stripes of the German flag. The flag, which flies proudly against a cloudy sky, bears the handwritten words of the German national anthem, "Deutschland über Alles" (Germany above all else), a powerful symbol of the soldier's deep patriotism and devotion to his fatherland. The image, captured circa 1914, is a poignant reminder of the intense nationalism that fueled the conflicts of the Great War. The soldier's gesture, filled with both love and reverence, speaks to the deep emotional connection many Germans felt towards their country during this tumultuous time in history. The anthem's lyrics, which include the lines "Unity and justice and peace in the fatherland," resonate with the hope and longing for a peaceful and prosperous Germany that many Germans held in their hearts. The image is a powerful testament to the enduring power of patriotism and the deep emotional bonds that can form between a people and their country. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that have shaped the history of Germany and the world, and a reminder of the enduring importance of national identity and pride. The handwritten words of the anthem add an additional layer of authenticity and emotion to the image, making it a valuable historical document as well as a powerful work of art. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Germany, the First World War, or the complex and multifaceted nature of patriotism and nationalism.
