| Summary | "Vagabonding Through Changing Germany" by Harry Alverson Franck is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. This book chronicles the author's experiences and observations while traveling through Germany following World War I, exploring the cultural and social changes taking place during the occupation period. Franck presents a vivid portrayal of the transition the country underwent amid the aftermath of war, including personal encounters and reflections on the German people. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for the author’s journey as he strives to enter occupied Germany after the armistice. Franck describes the challenges faced by those wanting to cross the border, contrasting the chaos of American military life in France with the order he experiences upon arriving in Germany. He paints a scene filled with bustling activity at crowded train stations, illustrating the mixed emotions of soldiers and civilians alike. Throughout his observations, Franck grapples with the complexities of war, nationality, and human connection, all while attempting to discern the true nature of the German spirit in a post-war world.
