The End of the German Monarchy: The Decline and Fall of the Hohenzollerns

By the autumn of 1918 Germany was on the verge of starvationâ€”the result of four years of war and blockade. Sailors led a revolt in Wilhelmshaven on 29 October 1918, followed by the Kiel mutiny in the first days of November cascading eventually to Germanyâ€™s capitulation and the Kaiserâ€™s abdication. The Hohelzollern familyâ€™s rule had come to an end.

Royalty historian John Van der Kiste, the author of the recent best-selling â€˜Prussian Princessesâ€™ here provides a full analysis of the Kaiserâ€™s family heritage, his leading part in the Prussian militarism which in recently unified German led to a full national martial tradition simply bursting for a fight. The book also tells of the vital events in later 1918 which led to the partial and then full abdication, and the Kaiserâ€™s pitiful escape to the neutral Netherlands, unwilling hosts for a somewhat unwelcome visitor.

The Third Reich also comes into play with Hitlerâ€™s initial ambivalent attitude, and then the full floral tribute after the Kaiserâ€™s death. It also covers the anti-Hitler plotters who intended to use a Hohenzollern Prince as a figurehead to provide legitimacy to a post-Hitler Germany.
