No it isn't true it was black propaganda by the Allies!. Actually predates the First World War and was revived, however that does not mean there were not atrocities, committed by both sides!.

There is absolutely no evidence that this happened though it did appear as Allied propaganda at the time!.
Don't forget that the first casualty in war is truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are atrocities in all wars!. Every sort of evil act one can imagine has been committed at one time or another!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As far as I am aware this is a form of propaganda used to stir
up the people back home and encourage men to enlist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First I've heard of it!. It would be helpful if you named your sources or provided a link!. How many babies are we talking about here and by whom were they killed!? I'm really doubting this one!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
