Mr. Konrad should know that the British cut the trans Atlantic cable from the continent to America at the very start of WWI.
This insured that only the British version of events got much play in the United States.
I was unaware of how well the British managed the public opinion/propaganda weapon during WWI until I started having conversations with an acquaintance who turned out to be quite the serious student of obscure history. I ended up doing a little reading of my own simply because I was a bit skeptical, but in the end, I came to the conclusion that the British were just as duplicitous as the Germans, but better at concealing it... and they had far more friends in America's high places than the House of Hohenzollern.
