  1. Bundeswehr postwar german armed forces Bundesheer postwar austrian forces. Formerly Armee ( word of french origin/ les armes- the weapons) and Heer ( word of germanic origin, in pre 1066 anglosaxon ,here') had often been used intechargeable, sometimes still now, but in german armed force Heer means groundforces which are called army in english language countries.

  2. The Schwedenbau/ swedish building is still standing, it contains two museums, you can watch with one ticket. The Waffenmuseum shows weapons from Königlich Württembergische Waffenfabrik ( including lancepoints!), Mauser ( also civilian products like caliphers or bureau equipment and two cars), Heckler & Koch and Feinwerkbau. The Heimatmuseum shows the history of Oberndorf region, also interessting, because some objects from former town militias and weapon relicts from alemannic warrior graves.

  4. Bundeswehr. Sich wehren- to defend yourself. Das Wehr - a Kind of dam. Die Wehr- an old word for weapon. Bundesheer either the post wwll austrian armed forces or the (ground) army of German Federation from 1815 to 1866. Heer is the westgermanic word for french word Armee, in Old English/ anglosaxon it was really here)

  6.  @thibaudduhamel2581  : The dukes of Burgundy owned territorries belonging to France and territories belonging to HRE. Alsace and parts of Lorraine had been in the time of Karl dem Kühnen/ Charles the bold territory of HRE, like his territories in todays Belgium and Netherlands, while main Burgundy was part of France.

  7.  @tictac2therevenge291 : In 1682 (83?) and 1796 the german village i live, about 30km east of Stuttgart was attacked by french troops. So please look into the mirror. The French etc. , allways forgett, that the german hate against France did not come ,out of the nothing'. Do some research about Richelieu, Louis XlV or Napoleon l, what funny things they did in Germany, in case of Louis XlV especially in Palatinate, Rhine Valley and parts of Black Forrest. Also compare France and ,Germany' of the noted era. It seems french and other nongermans forget, that France in this time was a united country with a centralised administration and the strongest european ground army and the second or third strong Fleet. ,Germany' had no Fleet, was divided into more than 300 Reichsstände with Seat in diet/ parlament and lots of territories without seat. Only Prussia, Austria could mobilize large armies, to lower level Bavaria, Saxony and Hannover. In military district Swabia/ Schwaben next to France on right bank of Rhine there had been 100 souvereign states in an area between Rhine , Lech, Lake of Constance and a line from Northern end of Black Forrest eastwards. The , Reichs' territories not included ( mostly Imperial Knights, but also independent villages, valleys ( Oberharmersbach) and even independent farms!). The 100 states had been 30-35 Imperial towns, 20- 25 Spiritual Lords ( includung the female abbot of an independent womens monastry) and 40-50 noble Lords. Their ,troops' had been policemen, ceremonial guards and lowtrained leviemen, but few welltrained soldiers. So basicly unuseable troops. This expains, why French troops had been so sucessfull between 1630 and 1812, and it clearly shows, that the german ,miniatur' rulers of this era had no need for being warlike. But this fact is rather unknown and unpopular. Si vous etais français, je etait pour quelques voyages dans votre pays, sans casque et fusil. ( Britta est mon amie) Il y a des regions belles, et je ne veut pas guerre. Mais, je n' aime pas, parler seulemet sur (?) des guerres, ou les allemands sont les , mauvaises', parce dans quelques guerres franco- allemand, les français etait les ,mauvaises'. Je pense, vous comprit mes mots.

  8.  @tictac2therevenge291  : Da mein Französisch nicht gut ist , und es unhöflich wäre, von Ihnen deutsch zu verlangen, i use english. Perhaps i repeat it, i am Brittas boyfriend. For some reasons, i was not often outside of Germany, but some times in your country. Normandie, Bretagne, Loire valley, some daytrips in Alsace, which is clearly a mix of german and french influence. As a person with history knowledge, i know a lot of history, so i don' t like nationalists, who say, they are better than other people in every case. Such behavior is not fine and results endless hate and trouble. So i think, the franco- german way of our days is good.
