1426 This information from Baron Stefan Kray, Im Dienste der Kabinettskanzlei während des Weltkriegs
(Budapest 1937), is incorrect. The diaries of the aide-de-camp say otherwise.

1439 Marterer’s diary, of which Nos. 1 and 4 are unfortunately missing, is certainly one of the most im-
portant sources on the history of Austria-Hungary during the First World War. Not least, Marterer’s
records provide important insights into the procedures in the circle closest to Franz Joseph.
