Tagebuch vom 17. Dezember 1917 bis 21. August 1918 || Ernst Schwalm (1854-1924) war Lehrer und Kantor in Hornsömmern in Thüringen. Laut einem Verzeichnis der Lehrer der Dörfer des Kreises Langensalza von 1941 war Schwalm von 1882 bis 1919 dort als Lehrer tätig. Bei dem evangelischen Rektor Richard Schwalm, dessen Personalakte im Thüringer Staatsarchiv Gotha lagert, könnte es sich um einen Sohn von Ernst Schwalm gehandelt haben. Richard Schwalm wurde am 4. Dezember 1894 in Hornsömmern geboren und war später in Suhl tätig. Ernst Schwalm hatte insgesamt 8 Kinder und musste wohl vor allem auf Grund seines Alters selbst nicht im Krieg dienen. Eine persönliche Notiz in seinem Tagebuch von Weihnachten 1917 lässt aber vermuten, dass zumindest zwei Söhne, Hans und Walther, im Feld standen. Auf dem Gedenkstein für die Opfer des Ersten Weltkrieges in Hornsömmern taucht der Name Schwalm jedoch nicht auf, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Söhne aus dem Krieg zurückgekehrt sind. Handschriftlich vermerkt sind in Schwalms Aufzeichnungen zudem das Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 82 sowie das Infanterie-Regiment 115. Beide Einheiten wurden ausschließlich an der Westfront eingesetzt. Dies mochte auch ein Grund dafür sein, das Kriegsgeschehen aufmerksam zu verfolgen. Seine erhaltenen Tagebucheintragungen beginnen am 1. Juni 1915 mit einem umfassenden Bericht über den Sturm auf Przemysl. Zahlreiche seiner Aufzeichnungen sind mit dem Kürzel W.T.B versehen, was auf Wolffs Telegraphisches Bureau hindeutet, dessen Berichte er neben amtlichen Heeresberichten (v.a. vom damaligen Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff) scheinbar sammelte und penibel notierte. Aus den wenigen persönlichen Notizen lässt sich wohl eine patriotische Haltung, keineswegs aber eine Kriegsbegeisterung herauslesen. In seinem letzten Eintrag im August 1918 bittet er Gott, bald den heiß ersehnten Weltfrieden zu schenken. || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other || || Western Front || Imperial Forces || Women || Other
