Deposited in the Styrian Regional Archives (StLA), here page 2. For access to the family and estate papers, which was conditional on permission from the Herberstein family, I would like to thank the family itself and my deceased friend Dr Heinrich Purkarthofer. The typewritten manuscript contains several deletions and alterations, which temper the original statements and were evidently deisgned to enable a publication. This never came to pass. 364 Rauchensteiner, Erzherzog Fritzl, loc. cit. 365 HHStA, Cabinetts Archiv, Tagebücher der Flügeladjutanten, Vol. 60, entry for 1.8.1914, 7 :50 a.m. 366 Führ, Armeeoberkommando, 25. 367 Giesl, Zwei Jahrzehnte, 277. 5. ‘Thank God, this is the Great War!’ 368 Imperial War Museum, London, Manuscript Collection 87/13/1, report by Eugene Wason (Jr.). 369 A collection of the last messages before the outbreak of the war is in the Kriegsarchiv (Austrian War Archives ; hereafter KA), AOK 1914, Evidenzbüro 3506. 370 Tunstall, Planning for War, 104. 371 Österreich-Ungarns letzter Krieg, Vol. 1, Enclosure 3. 372 Tunstall, Planning for War, 106. 373 Bruno Enderes, Die österreichischen Eisenbahnen, in : Verkehrswesen im Krieg (=  Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte des Weltkrieges, Abt. für Volkswirtschaft und Geschichte, österreichische und ungar- ische Serie, edited by the Carnegie-Stiftung für internationalen Frieden, Vienna/ New Haven, 1931), 7 et seq. 374 Specifically on the conditions in Vienna : Manfried Rauchensteiner, Räder müssen rollen für den Krieg.

The issue of the effects and extent of the spying activities by Colonel Redl has certainly not yet been fully clarified. See, for example, Albert Pethö, Agenten für den Doppeladler. Österreich-Ungarns geheimer Dienst im Weltkrieg (Graz, 1998) ; Verena Moritz, Hannes Leidinger, Gerhard Jagschitz, Im Zentrum der Macht. Die vielen Gesichter des Geheimdienstchefs Maximilian Ronge (Salzburg, 2007) ; Georg Markus, Der Fall Redl (Vienna, 1984). An examination of the files at the Russian State Military History Archives in Moscow leads one to conclude that the information provided by Redl is likely to have been particularly important, although in terms of quantity, it only amounted to a fraction of the information available to the Russians. Furthermore, it is highly likely that there was at least one further high-ranking informant within the Imperial and Royal General Staff who was working for the Russians, since an original copy (!) of the ‘M’ (Montenegro) war scenario is on file that was not prepared until the end of 1912, and to which Redl no longer had access. To ascribe the progression of the war to Redl does not make sense 377 Pethö, Agenten für den Doppeladler, 33. 378 See the excellent essay by John R.
