re: #252 esch

German culture has always had a rotten core. AFAIK, historically they started an awful lot of wars. The reich merely exploited it effectively.

And I say that as someone with a significant percentage of German blood. There’s a reason my ancestors left.

Ahem - its not as if the other European Nations didn’t start at least as many wars themselves … especially France … (yeah, ok, we weren’t exactly innocents in great Britain either …).
Thing is - they only had a very small number of what one could call warriors: Frederick the Great, General Bluecher, General Moltke … thus they lost an awful lot of the wars they started.
