Hilmar Kaiser, Eberhard Count Wolffskeel Von Reichenberg, Zeitoun, Mousa Dagh, Ourfa: Letters on the Armenian Genocide, (Princeton and London: Gomidas Institute, 2004), 2nd Edition, xxxii + 66, maps, ISBN 1-903656-03-6, paper, UK£8.00 / US$14.00.
Eberdard Von Wolffskeel was the only German officer who served in Ottoman uniform known to have been directly involved in the killing of Armenians. He personally led the attack on the Armenian quarter of Ourfa, and showed exceptional zeal when doing so. He was a callous man, and a racist, and took great pride in his military prowess and his lack of compassion for Armenian victims. His involvement in crushing the Armenian resistance in Ourfa--when this community's turn came to be deported and destroyed--makes particularly disturbing reading. His letters to his wife provide us with invaluable insights into the Armenian Genocide and German policy in 1915.
