Dummkopf Tee


Kaiser Willhem was a funny bugger, apart from wearing a bird on his head, (inspiring Johnny Depp's portrayal of Tonto in the latest film adaption of The Lone Ranger) he also thought that it would be a good idea to start a war against the combined might of  Russia, France and England.

When asked what he hoped to gain and how he thought Germany might win the war, he started ranting about the superiority of German moustaches pointing out that while Lord Kitchener sported a fine and luxurious moustache, most Englishmen weren't very good at growing them while Russian know-how seemed limited to unruly beards and the French only ever grew 'dainty' moustaches which left observers wondering whether they had forgotten to shave.

He was quoted as saying "moustaches win wars dummkopf" and went on to elaborate that only a fine, well oiled or waxed and precisely curled Prussian moustache would win this one.

Ich Liebe Dich - I love You Tee

Kaiser Willhelm (Billy to his friends) was the cousin of King George (England) and Tsar Nicholas (Russia) and you would think that Georgy, Billy and Nicky would be able to ensure peace in Europe but Billy was prone to paranoia and a bit of wierdo (as this painting shows he was the inspiration behind Johnny Depp wearing a bird on his head in the Lone Ranger) In 1914, he thought that Georgy and Nicky and that uppity little French kid were ganging up on him so he encouraged his Austrian mates to invade Serbia to get revenge for some Serbian bullies who had bumped off another guy called Franz who nobody, not even his dad, liked very much. Anyway, Nicky wasn't going to stand by while the Austrians beat up his Serbian chums so he declared war on the Austrians. 

What happened next would be comical if it wasn't true - Austria declares war on Serbia, Russia declares war on Austria, Germany declares war on Russia (because they've signed an agreement to help Austria) France and Britain declare war on Germany (because they've signed an agreement to help Russia) 

The next four years (known as World War One or The Great War) lead to over 16 million deaths and 20 million wounded soldiers and civilians.

German is not the first to come to mind when you think of romantic languages but "I Love You" in German is "Ich Liebe Dich" - who could resist?
