Description
It seems that the First World War had an effect similar to
that of massive plague outbreaks in the Middle Ages or early
modern times. People became aware of their transience and
started enjoying life intensely by reveling immoderately and
frequently, by making “free love” and by consuming alcohol
in excessive quantities. Some church dignitaries were aware
at the time that this would have consequences long after the
end of the war. It indeed turned out that those who thought
that the end of war life would bring life back to its old routine
were proved wrong. “The poisonous germ of war dizziness”
struck this time in the form of a post-war psychosis. Accompanied
by a general economic crisis, inflation and great poverty,
it pushed people into careless debauchery and “turned
the homeland into one big public house that was open day
and night”.

- Zdi se, da se je med prvo svetovno vojno pojavil podoben efekt, kot med množičnimi epidemijami kuge v srednjem oz. zgodnjem novem veku. Ljudje so se zavedli svoje minljivosti in začeli intenzivno uživati življenje tako, da so se množično začeli prepuščati pogostemu in nezmernemu veseljačenju, »svobodni ljubezni« ter prekomernemu uživanju alkohola. Že takrat so se nekateri cerkveni dostojanstveniki zavedali, da bo to pustilo posledice, ki bodo daleč preživele samo vojno. In res so se tisti, ki so računali, da bo s koncem vojne življenje steklo po starih »normalnih« tirnicah, zmotili. »Strupeni bacil vojne vrtoglavosti« je tokrat pod imenom povojne psihoze tudi v pogojih splošne gospodarske krize, draginje in pomanjkanja ljudi gnal v brezbrižno razuzdanost in »domovino izpremenil v eno samo, noč in dan odprto gostilno«.
- Während des Ersten Weltkriegs scheint ein ähnlicher Effekt eingetreten zu sein wie während der massenhaften Pestepidemien im Mittelalter bzw. in der Frühen Neuzeit. Die Menschen wurden sich ihrer Vergänglichkeit bewusst und begannen das Leben intensiv zu genießen, indem sie sich häufigen und maßlosen Feiern, der „freien Liebe“ und dem übermäßigen Alkoholkonsum hingaben. Schon damals waren sich einige kirchliche Würdenträger bewusst, dass dies weit über den Krieg hinausreichende Folgen haben wird. Und tatsächlich irrten jene, die meinten, dass nach Kriegsende das Leben wieder in die alten, „normalen“ Gleise zurückkehren wird. Der „giftige Bazillus des Kriegstaumels“ trieb nun unter dem Begriff der Nachkriegspsychose und angesichts der allgemeinen Wirtschaftskrise, der Teuerung und des Mangels die Menschen zu einer sorgenlosen Zügellosigkeit und „verwandelte die Heimat in ein einziges, Tag und Nacht geöffnetes Gasthaus“.
