David Reynolds shows how the common perception of the Great War as futile
slaughter has been moulded over time. The image of mud and trenches, poets and
poppies was not the general view in the 1920s and 1930s, but developed after
the Second World War and most of all, through popular depictions of the war
from the 1960s.
Reynolds gets to the roots of shifting public memory by comparing the British
and German sense of what the Great War meant right back in its immediate
aftermath. Britain invested in the diplomatic ideals of the League of Nations,
and Reynolds charts the extraordinary popularity of disarmament movements. For
many British people, the terrible sacrifice would not have be in vain if the
Great War proved be the war to end war. Reynolds tells the story of the Peace
Ballot of 1935, which attracted an extraordinary 11.9 million signatories who
hoped to stop the slide to war of 1914 ever happening again. In Weimar and
Berlin, Reynolds shows that, by contrast, what mattered for Germany was not
preventing another 1914 but another 1918 - the year of humiliating defeat. He
also examines the myth of the stab in the back which fuelled the rise of Adolf
Hitler and another, even more appalling conflict.
The Second World War changed the meaning of the Great War, creating the sense
that 1914-18 had been an ineffectual sacrifice that required a second round.
Reynolds examines how in the 1960s a new, less deferential generation looked
back at the First World War during the 50th anniversaries. In plays like Oh!
What a Lovely War and the rediscovery of war poets like Wilfred Owen, they
helped set the public memory of a futile war waged by stupid generals.
