Dean & KR,

"Wir Deutsche fürchten Gott, aber sonst nichts in der Welt!" Bismarck's famous quote to the Reichstag, "In this world we Germans fear nothing except for God!"

A great line but I feel it's thinking like this that got Germany into hot-water in the years to come..? Kaiser Billy was famous for being something of a boor with all his verbal militaristic threats, arrogant comments and general bluster, huffing and puffing about ... but that's neither here nor there.

Bismarck's memorable quote can be found etched into the steel blades of many, fine German weapons. How could anyone have chosen a better spot for it than the side of an impeccable, gleaming sword blade?

It's scary to see that the road paved with skulls looks mighty similar to the road we're still on today ..?

Best!
