In the summer of 1918, the war was clearly drawing to a close. Anita was pregnant again and Otto had been appointed "Königlich Bayerischer Kommerzienrat" (an honorary title bestowed by the King of Bavaria upon distinguished businessmen) on August 5.[1] The November Revolution, which eventually ended World War I and also the German Empire, started in Kiel. The Eckart family witnessed the historic events first-hand.[2]
