“Wars, wars, wars': reading up on the region I came across one moment when quintessential Englishness had in fact intersected with this darkling plain. In 1906 Winston Churchill, then the minister responsible for British colonies, had been honored by an invitation from Kaiser Wilhelm II to attend the annual maneuvers of the Imperial German Army, held at Breslau. The Kaiser was 'resplendent in the uniform of the White Silesian Cuirassiers' and his massed and regimented infantry... reminded one more of great Atlantic rollers than human formations. Clouds of cavalry, avalanches of field-guns and—at that time a novelty—squadrons of motor-cars (private and military) completed the array. For five hours the immense defilade continued. Yet this was only a twentieth of the armed strength of the regular German Army before mobilization. Strange to find Winston Churchill and Sylvia Plath both choosing the word 'roller,' in both its juggernaut and wavelike declensions, for that scene.”

If he begins on the subject, no one will hear of anything else for days. For Doktor Fortzmann all was better under the kaiser.”

“No one would contradict ruminations so ridiculous, as those that formed the larger part of the Kaiser’s thoughts, who must be humored because one who had been handed, a useless arm and defective hand, as had the Kaiser, can have a surprisingly firm grip on things and the destinies of tens of millions of far happier and more able - bodied men.”
