The Deception Unraveled:
To protect Esterhazy, the Army conducted a sham court-martial and acquitted him within minutes. The generals who fabricated false accusations began to scramble; they silenced and imprisoned Picquart. In November 1899, prior to leaving Paris for reassignment, German military attache von Schwartzkoppen said publicly, "I have never known Dreyfus." |
