An interesting wiki article I found today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Corpse_Factory
German Corpse Factory
Do you believe it?
I have no idea, but I do know that after WWII, the propaganda against the germans was atrocious and full of lies & exaggerations to demonize them all into the history books (soaps, lampshades, etc).
Maybe the winners of WWI did the same thing?
From the article:
"Lord Robert Cecil declared that he had no information beyond newspaper reports."
"no eyewitnesses ever appeared, and the story was never enlarged or amplified."
"Prime Minister David Lloyd George, never took the story seriously."
"The claim that Charteris invented the story to sway the opinion of the Chinese against the Germans was given wide circulation in Lord Arthur Ponsonby's highly influential book, Falsehood in War-Time, which examined, according to its subtitle, an "Assortment of Lies Circulated Throughout the Nations During the Great War"."
etc

Yeah after the war everyone just admitted it was fake lol There was no moral motive to keep it going, because WW1 was just a big imperial dick swinging contest.
