To start with, the atmosphere was quite different. As in all European armies, it was one of uplift. Officers in
Stavka
did without drink; women were forbidden in the staff compound; religious services were held every day. In the same style, Conrad von Hötzendorf, on the Austro-Hungarian side, slept on straw in the Zasanie barracks in Przemysl; Hindenburg, on the German side, promised to write to his wife every day—all of it no doubt evidence as to how widespread was the supposition that this would be a short war. The strain of lengthening war soon told, however. By the end of 1914, wine was being served to
Stavka
, and vodka to senior officers. The Grand Duke told
Stavka’s
chaplain to have the choir sing pieces from
Prince Igor
instead of Masses. What happened as regards women is not documented. Hindenburg managed to write about 1,500 letters to his wife in the war. The Austrians solved their problem by moving to comfortable villas in Moravia, and having their wives live there—although that was not enough for Conrad, who continued to write long, though not daily letters to other men’s wives.
