Re: Hohenzollerns, Habsburgs, and hypocrisy

LOL. Well, quite. Incidentally, partly due to the current chief Hohenzollern continuing with his law suit, the guy writing an acid takedown on just how much the Hohenzollern from the first half of the 20th century collaborated with Hitler won the German book price.

Fritz: I would like to point out that contrary to his claim, Willy and his son weren't my descendants.

Heinrich: They may have carried my favourite brother's genes, but Guille is last Hohenzollern anyone could accuse of being pro multi front wars of agression and the people conducting them.
