  1.  @Depressed_Blackpiller-u  Prussia was half Slavic. Cities like Berl-in, Chemn-itz, Trept-ow are of Slavic origin. The seat of the German chancellor in Berlin between 1878 and 1945 was called the Radziwill Palais after the Lithuanian-Polish princely family, owning them for some time. The Prussian aristocracy never saw themselves as Germans in first place. Culturally they very much leaned to France. And slightly despised the non-Prussian Hohenzollers.

  2. @ Rather liberal till the 1860s. Eg: The Prussian rule in Warsaw; the eminent career of Antoni Radziwill in Berlin; bilingual (Polish-German) masonic lodges in many cities of Western Poland. Change around 1860. See Bismarck's letter to his sister. See the end of bilinguality in these lodges. See Hakata. See the anti-Catholic activism.

  3. ​ @arefkr  Not really. Rigid in both physics and military defense will mean the opposite of fluent or elastic. BTW: If you wonder what a "fluent" military defense would be, see Mao's "fish in the water" metaphor.

  4. Underestimating the Soviet Union /Russia is a centuries-old fallacy of the West. And it can be seen again today.

  6.  @keithad6485  You do not express yourself like a military man: "All leaders of soldiers" ? You mean officers. "the General" ? Do you think that every military unit is lead by a general ?

  7. Not necessarily. Some decisions did not make sense even with the limited information available back then.

  8.  @AlexKarasev  If we tried all wrong things before doing the right thing our species would not have survived. See, that phrase (doing the right thing only after having tried all the wrong ones) is British humor. While there is some truth in it, Brits do not take it literally.

  9. @ Why are you loading information which is 100% irrelevant to the topic we are debating here, namely the attitude of Prussians towards Poland ?

  10. It is a symbol that they can wear helmets.

  11. 1:17: "With regards to the physical standards it was the training that required the most requirements ?" Wow. Does anyone read the reading before editing the edit ? Followed by: "A height of at least 1.78.." 1.78 of what ? Then, after the last of further criteria is mentioned (at 1:34,) "were one of the necessary requirements to enter". Why one ? Is that War Academy run by Dan Quale ? Or Kamala Harris ? Or is it some misbegotten translation from Spanish, as the names of "Stalingrado", "Chequia" etc. on the map suggest (7:57) ?
