Erich Ludendorff, Mathilde von Kemnitz und der deutsche Gottglaube

Die strengen Friedensbestim-mungen und die dem Land auferlegte Entschädigung, die im Ver-sailler Vertrag festgehalten wurden, verschärften die Situation noch weiter. Für General Erich Ludendorff, der mit Paul von Hinden-burg das entscheidende Duo auf deutscher Seite gebildet hatte, war dieses Ergebnis eigentlich inakzeptabel. Man hatte quasi praktisch gegen die ganze Welt gekämpft und nur um Haaresbreite verlo-ren. Der Heilungsprozess, der auf die Niederlage folgte, nahm für Ludendorff eine wundersame Wendung. Zusammen mit seiner zweiten Frau, Mathilde von Kemnitz, entstand eine neue religiöse Bewegung, um das Leid zu verkraften; der “deutsche Gottglaube”.

This book, should be compulsory reading for new ExpatsThe writer Jacob (Joop) Heilijgers – a Dutch national – is a business man and writer of columns, articles and short stories. He has been living for 30 years in Singapore and Indonesia. Where he witnessed many strange things from close-by. Joop turned these into a book of 300 pages, with 16 independent true stories. Many are about amorous relations of fellow expats with much younger Asian women. The ideal wife in their eyes, but the big differences in age and culture often became a recipe for disappointment.
