1052 Notes
669 The records and correspondence of Potiorek, which have been drawn from different sources, have been
stored in the Austrian War Archives (Kriegsarchiv) in Vienna since the 1990s, Nachlass B/ 657.
670 The following in Kisch, Schreib das auf, 211–214.
671 Kaiser Franz Joseph never forgot the fact that the Bulgarian Tsar had wooed Katharina Schratt. From
that time on, he displayed an undisguised aversion to the Coburger.

675 Schanes, Serbien im Ersten Weltkrieg, 166–187. The examples given here can be multiplied almost in-
definitely, as can the explanatory models. Wolfgang Höpken, Das Dickicht der Kriege, in : Wie Kriege
entstehen, edited by Bernd Wegner (Paderborn, 2000, 319–367) explains the excessive use of violence in
the theatres of war in the Balkan region as a ‘privatisation of violence”. This too fails to sufficiently ex-
plain the phenomenon of violence in this region during the course of the 20th century. Daniela Schanes
follows a sensible principle to the extent that she investigates individual examples, rather than simply
citing ‘manic calculated destruction’ and an ‘excessive desire to kill’.

679 Michael Salewski has attempted to put the noise of war into words : Lärm, Monotonie und Dynamik in
den Weltkriegen des 20. Jahrhunderts, in : Historische Mitteilungen, edited by Ranke-Gesellschaft, Vol.
22 (Stuttgart, 2009), 188–204.
680 The Austro-Hungarian figures should naturally also be set in relation to those for other participants in
the war, particularly those for the Russians. There, also, it became evident that the old cadre of active
troop officers no longer existed at the end of 1914, and that they were replaced by briefly and poorly
trained officers. Incompetence and a lack of authority increasingly became a problem. On this subject,
see Dietrich Beyrau and Pavel P. Shcherbinin, Alles für die Front : Russland im Krieg 1914– 922, in :
Durchhalten ! Krieg und Gesellschaft im Vergleich, op. cit., 157.

corresponding sections of : Die Antipoden.
