战争引起恐惧又不断制造新的恐惧,这已是老生常谈,但第一次世界大战中的恐惧现象却在各个方面都表现得与众不同。经济恐慌在战争开始后得到缓解;社会恐惧也并未发生预想的结果。一战激起了德国社会各阶层异乎寻常的兴奋,其原因或许可以从心理学角度进行解释。恐惧宣传是战争中惯常使用的政治手段,不过盎格鲁-萨克逊人在一战中的恐惧宣传其强烈程度和特殊方式却是独一无二的。以“匈奴人”为特征的恐怖宣传造成了恶劣后果,它要为后来掩盖二战中的罪恶行径负主要责任。 It is commonplace that wars cause fear and continue to create new fears. However, the phenomenon of terror in World War I has made a difference in all aspects. Economic panics were eased after the war started; social fear did not come to the fore. The war aroused the extraordinary excitement of all sectors of German society, the reason may be explained from a psychological point of view. Fear of propaganda is the usual political tactic used in the war, but the intensity and the special ways in which the Anglo-Saxons fear in World War I propagate their uniqueness are unique. The horrifying propaganda characterized by the “Huns” has had dire consequences, and it is primarily responsible for later covering up the sinful acts of World War II.
