The article focuses on the role played by General Hans von Seeckt in the post-war German Reichswehr during the Weimar Republic. It mentions that the General's program of secret rearmament had given considerable power in German politics. The author asserts that the consistent thread followed by General von Seeckt during this turbulent period of German politics was the protection of the Reichswehr and the continuance of secret rearmament regardless of the costs.
