The introduction chapter is... interesting, to say the least.

You mean the introduction by Nicolas Montsarrat?
Yeah, quite interesting....how a man like him still remained embeded in the prejudices and half-sided vision of the british propaganda and traditions even long after the war. Of course germany was not a nation of good will persons hijacked by a uncontrolled band of nazis, but then again WW2 was a direct consequence of WW1 (And the humilliating and unacceptable conditions of the Verasilles Treaty, as well as the post war plundering of Germany by victors) and WW1 itself was a direct consequence of Britain pretending to rule the world and not let others do the same
Montsarrat just sees how germans fought aggression wars, not how they were driven and cornered into fighting them, just as Japan was forced to in WW2. No, I don't justify at all wars, let alone aggression wars, but anyone with some intelligence should at least think that unfairly pushing a proud nation like germans or japanese to the limits would trigger some kind of response...
