Summary/Abstract: In the month of December 1916, one of the thousands German soldiers who came with the army of occupation in the defeated Romania had been keeping a diary from the beginning of the war. The greater part of this diary is dedicated to the time he spent in Romania, in Bărăgan and Bucharest.

His rich observations, his criticism of the war and his sympathy for the Romanians, for their traditions, customs and for their political ideals made his diary the most important source for time of the occupation seen through the eyes of German soldier.
