"From a potato knife to an officer's sword. From the diary of a conscript in the Landstorm Netherlands" is the confession of Melissa Stoke, who during the First World War was forced by conscription to join the Landsturm. In his post, the author talks about his impressions of conscript life, military events and people with whom he had to communicate. This book is a valuable document of the wartime, which makes it possible to better understand the psychology and state of mind of a person who was at the epicenter of world events."
