Re: Quarterman Dates



I believe the info about Kaiser Wilhelm II's abdicating on Nov. 8, 1918, is incorrect.  And at the time Germany was not admitting defeat.  It was an armistice, not a surrender.  On the evening of Nov. 10, the Kaiser ordered his personal train behind the front lines to be driven into neutral Holland without abdicating at that time, thus throwing Germany into confusion.
