Right. Need to learn more about the 1870 war. Found out that a long ago aunt’s husband was in that war on the German side and that side of the family apparently hated the French and Catholics. Ironic since my great grandfather, the man’s nephew ended up marrying a Catholic here in the US and raising my grandfather and his sibs Catholic.
Major battle was fought right near where my kids now live near Froschwiller.
