This is illustrated through the story of Walter Flex, one of the best-known writers of the First World War. Important documents related to his work have now been digitized and are freely accessible via Europeana and on the Europeana 1914-1918 portal. In addition, many newspapers from the same time period are being made available through the work of Europeana Newspapers.

Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy!
