Denmark will gain Schlessweig Holstein.

Poland will gain Prussia east of R. Oder

The Empire of Japan shall get the Thuringian States and German East Africa (Tanganika)

Germany shall then consist of Bavaria, Prussia between the Elbe and Oder, Mecklenburg, Brandenburg, with the capital in Bonn, which shall be under the control of the League of Nations


Section 3

The german military shall cease to exist. Germany's defence will be provided by a force delegated by the league of nations, identified by bright orange headgear.

Vehicled belonging to this force shall be identified by an orange circle with a white 5 pointed star inside.

The Kaiserlichesmareine shall be given to England and France who shall dispose of it as they see fit. The new German martime force shall consist of a coastal customs and rescue service with the largest possible displacement of 1500 tons. The maximum armament shall be defined as firing a non-explosive projectile weighing no more than 50 grams, or an explosive projectile with no more than 20 grams of explosives, this restriction being applied to any and all weapons on the vessel.

The Heer shall be dissolved. Any germans wanting to enlist in the military will be directed to the French Foreign Legion, or other similar units.

The german air corps shall be disbanded, with their planes being disposed of similarly the german fleet.

To keep the peace the germans shall be allowed to establish a gendarmie, under the supervision of the LON, which shall posses only small arms. for the purposes of this document small arms are defined as those weapons made for use of a single person, including and limited to rifles and carbines, both self loading and manually operated, pistols, both self loading and manually operated, and shotguns, both self loading and manually operated, which fire a caliber no larger than 12.7mm/.5 inch for rifles and pistol cartriges, and 5cm/2in for shotgun shells. The Gendarmie shall not possess armored vehicles, and must obtain all its arms from foreign sources.

The german arms industry, what little of will remain in germany due to border changes, shall be for export only. International observers will ensure that all arms produced in germany leave the country and do not re-enter. The arms industry is subject to the same limitations as the German Gendarmie, but these apply to the arms it can produce rather than what it can obtain.

The german general staff shall be tried for breaches of the Hague convention, and the officer corps shall instruct at foreign military academies, or retire to peaceful persuits.
