The author of the piece I'm looking at is Walter Kiaulehn. "Signal" was , admittedly, a propaganda rag aimed primarily at the German armed forces. The piece focuses on The Anaconda System of Warfare and singles out Sherman's correspondence as being counter to notions of conventional military thought and the civilized prosecution of war.

Signal magazine was not distributed to German troops. It was published in 30 languages for distribution in Europe, South America, North America etc.

“singles out Sherman’s correspondence as being counter to notions of conventional military thought and the civilized prosecution of war.”

Of course the Germans would never done anything that was not a civilized prosecution of war.
