Don't tell me Poles didn't hate Germans for a very long time now!
At least we don't have a Kaczinsky in our offices right now...

What is the goal of your thread Borrka?

show the true background of the German Nazis.

Yeah...let's show...it will be a revelation to the people who absolutely know nothing about the German Nazis! ;)

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

Since you don't wanna bring sources I do :)
thinkexist.com/quotes/frederick_the_great/

My favourite:

"Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand."

military-quotes.com/frederick-the-great.htm

And some more from the great Friedrich: brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/f/frederick_ii.html

My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfied us both. They are to say what they please, and I am to do what I please.

Men like this aren't born anymore!

Perhaps it's old-fashioned German?

I think your dictionary got it wrong...so!

M-G (it's not important anyway)

If someone mangles my language it's important! ;)

Ack...here is a much better site telling you everything you ever wanted to know about "HAUT"

I never ever heard someone say Devil=Haut! (I'm not telling M-G how to speak dutschisch on the other hand)

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

Check under section 3 Words - Others, second from above in that section.

You mean that: "haut ab"? It's common speech for: "Go away".."Leave already"....(adressing several people compared to "Hau ab")

What kind of German do you think you are? :-)

I'm wondering already!

"Poland's existence is intolerable and incompatible with the essential conditions of Germany's life. Poland must go and will go!" Generalmajor Hans von Seeckt

At the third try! :)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Seeckt

22 April 1866 - 27 December 1936

...couldn't find the quote though...

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

No, it translates as "Oh you poor devil."

Nah..."Haut" never means Devil...no way!

"Haut" is either the Skin or "haut/hauen", the adjective of "beat/beating".

German commander-in-Chief of Army Group Vistula:

"All Poles will disappear from the world.... It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles."

Do you have a source Borrke? I don't trust your understanding very much...

edit: Found it...was by Heinrich Himmler...he wasn't a general or king either!

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

"Ach du arme Haut"

I never heard that before! I would translate that as: "Oh you poor skin!" ;)

"Dass haut mich glatt aus den Socken"

That I know :)

We can agree on your second translation for Bismarcks saying though...It's correct I would say!

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

I found that quite nice:

The Emperor of Germany is the king of kings, the King of Spain king of men, the King of France king of asses, the King of England king of devils.

French proverb

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

Bismarck was neither king nor general..;)

PS: This translation:

He also said: "Beat Poles until they lose faith in a sense of living. Personally, I pity the situation they're in. However, if we want to survive -we've got only one option - to exterminate them.

...is quite wrong!

The original says:

"Haut doch die Polen, daß sie am Leben verzagen, ich habe alles Mitgefühl der Welt für ihre Lage, aber wir können auch nichts dafür, daß der Wolf von Gott geschaffen ist, wie er ist, und man schießt ihn doch dafür tot, wenn man kann,"

deutsche-und-polen.de/personen/person_jsp/key=otto+von_bismarck.html

Correct translation:

"Just beat the Poles that they give up hope on life. I have every compassion of the world for their situation be we can't help it that the wolf is created by god as he is and we still shoot him when we can."

...the wolf, not the Pole! ;)

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

Big tits and low IQ go mostly hand in hand...we see it in the south of europe....political and economical basket cases! Being mastered by the Germans...

Which German would want to spoil it's genepool with stupids in the first place? Big tits isn't everything...only good for some fun. Serbs have the same low IQ like their 500 year masters, the Turks...to much interbreeding with them...

Which German would want to germanize such an empty head? We would only lose out..

You mean german warriors suffer from micropenis syndrome?

ROFL Southern...micropenis, stupids and poor, sniveling, begging buggers...Greeks better shut up now! Better start learning German now...

History / Ghetto Uprising better known than Warsaw Uprising? [111]

What makes you a troll BB is that you posted a minute after my long post, which you have not read.

History / Poles as Iroquois of Europe [42]

What's wrong with "Deutschtümelei"? What about "Polandtümelei" ;)

Sorry to disappoint, it's very well alive and even growing, better get used to it!

PS: When you really believe that the Nazi times in Alemania are over maybe you can work now on your habit to bring in the Nazis in every discussion...be it Bismarck or an innocent movie?

But even if not, the Nazis are only an outlet for your Germanophobia anyhow...if it weren't the Nazis it would be something else so I expect not really anything from you. I just don't care a rats fart about your opinion about my Fatherland!

Have a nice day! :) Oh and here another one for the go:

Zurückkehren zu Hanekes Wurzeln der deutschen Sprache und Kulturtradition.

And I like that very much too! Enough of Hollywood...

Das weiße Band sei "ein erzdeutscher Film über die Deutschheit.">

Well, that might be even true...:)
I liked what I saw (not all of it tough)...very homely...the life of my great/grandparents.
Not unusual for most farmer villages of that time across Europe one would think.

<Daniel Kothenschulte nannte den Film in der Frankfurter Rundschau ironisierend ein Lehrstück, das sich "früh zu erkennen" gibt: "Zwei Jahrzehnte später wären diese bösen Kinder erwachsene Nazis" und bemängelt die Holzschnittartigkeit der wenigen Figuren, spricht aber dennoch von "faszinierenden zweieinhalb Stunden".>

But that is an opinion, nothing else, just one interpretation.
There are interviews with Haneke about this...there is nothing of that kind about this movie.
All opinions and when you think about who was going to go to war soon actually all things get another perspective.

You know, there are these guys and gals who will see Nazis everywhere...you are one of them!
Get a grip!

History / Poles as Iroquois of Europe [42]

no doubt about his main role in creating the first welfare state worldwide.

Not only Bismarck himself build and ruled a highly competetive and successful country, after WWII it was the new western Bundesrepublik who decided for a social capitalism aka Bismarck (not the commie GDR just for your information).

This model proved to be one of the most successful models for more than 60 years, not only in Europe but in the world! The basics of Germany's political peace and economical successes.

I suggest watch the German movie Das Weisse Band (White Ribbon) - it's all about Bismarck's proto-Nazi Germany.

You are spouting crap again!
Nothing surprising here...and again you get your facts wrong.
The "Das weiße Band" was about the time before WWI. The only one from this village soon going out to kill for Kaiser and Fatherland was the narrator, the "good" teacher. Should tell you something...if you would have a braincell left in your easy peasy black/white world of thinking!

History / Poles as Iroquois of Europe [42]

I don't quite understand what Bismarck meant when comparing the Polish to the Iroquois.

Show me where he did please...I can't find something!

Given the cannibalistic tendencies of the Prussian sate I think the comparison works better in reverse:)

Sure, calling the most advanced, most modern state in Europe "cannibalistic" is a thing a Pole would do! :)

History / Poles as Iroquois of Europe [42]

Prussian state it was a freakish state its a pity that Germanic states were consolidated by this ugly monstrous modern state - totalitarian state

Another example of polish school teachings??? ;)

For a more correct insight I would advise this book here:

By 1947, Prussia was deemed an intolerable threat to the safety of Europe; what is often forgotten, Clark argues, is that it had also been an exemplar of the European humanistic tradition, boasting a formidable government administration, an incorruptible civil service, and religious tolerance.
Clark demonstrates how a state deemed the bane of twentieth-century Europe has played an incalculable role in Western civilization's fortunes. Iron Kingdom is a definitive, gripping account of Prussia's fascinating, influential, and critical role in modern times.

...Iron Kingdom, Christopher Clark's stately, authoritative history of Prussia from its humble beginnings to its ignominious end, presents a much more complicated and compelling picture of the German state, which is too often reduced to a caricature of spiked helmets and polished boots.
Prussia and its army were inseparable, but Prussia was also renowned for its efficient, incorruptible civil service; its innovative system of social services; its religious tolerance; and its unrivaled education system, a model for the rest of Germany and the world. ...

Yup! :)

...From the military and agricultural innovations of Frederick the Great to nineteenth-century high academic politics to Bismarck's social-security system, this magisterial and remarkably well-written history of Prussia traces back to the eighteenth century the region's surprisingly tolerant and intellectually rich culture. Clark, a Cambridge historian, suggests that the world is poorer for Prussia's absence.

"Freakish" huh? Your education seems to have been freakish...
