re: #200 HappyWarrior

German after all was the language of the empire. And definitely more German to English translators than Czech to English ones too. There’s another Czech writer from that era I want to read. I forget his name offhand but he apparently wrote some funny WWI stories.

Jaroslav Hašek & I expect that you’re thinking of “The Good Soldier Švejk” which I’ve seen small excerpts from. Very good stuff.
