754 Schneider, Kriegserinnerungen, 118. Helmut Kusmics and Sabine A. Haring however, concluded from
the analysis made by Constantin Schneider, albeit after the war, which is supplemented by his war
accounts, that precisely during the first months of the war, significant differences emerged between
the Austro-Hungarian officers on the one hand and the German officers on the other, and that, in
particular, the terms ‘bravery’ and ‘leadership’ were understood and treated very differently. See also the
contribution made by the same authors : Habitus und Reform in der Habsburger Armee zwischen 1800
und 1918, in : Reform, Reorganisation, Transformation. Zum Wandel in deutschen Streitkräften von

769 The reference to the Russophile attitude among the Ruthenians in particular was widespread. It can
be found in a wide range of different war memoirs, but also circulated far away from the front. Thus,
Redlich noted repeatedly from the end of August 1914 that the defeats were explained by the disloyalty
of the population in East Galicia and the countless spies.
