Summary: "Their Crimes" by Léon Mirman and J. Esslemont Adams is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically in the years surrounding World War I. This book serves as a grim record of atrocities committed by German forces against civilians in Belgium and Northern France during the war. Mirman, as the Prefect of Meurthe-et-Moselle, presents a compilation of documented reports and firsthand accounts detailing various crimes, including murder, robbery, and acts of extreme violence against women and children. The intent of the book is to bring awareness to the brutalities experienced by the civilian population and to call for acknowledgment and reparations once the war concludes. The content of "Their Crimes" is structured around several key themes, each addressing different facets of German military misconduct. From indiscriminate killings and arson to systematic robbery and sexual violence, the book elucidates a chilling portrait of wartime atrocities. Eyewitness testimonies, military accounts, and findings from various commissions of inquiry collectively build a case against the German forces, illustrating the chaotic and ruthless nature of their campaigns in occupied territories. Each chapter serves as a harrowing reminder of the human cost of war, emphasizing the need for remembrance and justice for the victims while warning against the potential for historical amnesia in the face of future peace negotiations.
