Die Erforschung der Revolution vom November 1918 wird durch diese Edition erweitert: Sie dokumentiert das Geschehen aus konservativer Sicht. Eine der zentralen Persönlichkeiten damals war der preußische Kriegsminister H. Scheüch. Er wurde von stockpreußischen Offizieren wegen seiner Haltung 1918 jahrelang öffentlich verunglimpft. Die Sache gelangte 1922 vor ein militärisches Ehrengericht. Dort wurde Scheüch komplett reingewaschen. Die Quellen stammen aus dem Nachlass Scheüchs.
