For the first time we will present the war diary of the Austrian General Karl Schneller and the everyday situation reports from the Field Army Command for the emperor.
Each day we will confront the text of the diaries with the situation reports. From the beginning of the war till the end in 1918. We offer the inside knowledge of a high ranked general in contrast with the official reports.
