While physicians during WWI, and scholars since, have addressed the idea of disorders like shell shock as inchoate flights into sickness by men unwilling to cope with war's privations, little attention has been given to the agency many soldiers actually possessed to express dissent in a system that medicalized it. In Germany, these men were called Kriegszitterer, or war tremblers, for their telltale symptom of uncontrollable shaking.
