Abstract
This article deals with the topic of war in selected texts written by Reich citizens. It begins by outlining the current state of research, revealing a notable gap in our knowledge – particularly with regard to the linguistic specifics of Reich citizens’ texts. Texts from the organization “Bismarcks Erben” (“Bismarck’s Heirs”) are then examined in more detail. For this purpose, a statistical evaluation of the lexis is carried out. It can be shown that war lexis is an important component of these texts. Furthermore, the role of war narratives for the self-representation and recruitment of Reich citizens is examined.
