This Pyrrhic victory is the single most important reason the Germanic Peoples were the way they were in the twentieth century (and possibly today). They were never conquered by Rome and were therefore never fucking civilised. Fuck them from behind with their own lederhosen. Barbarians, the lot of them. And you Austrians and you Krauts in Gdansk and Alsace-Lorraine, don't be too smug - Ein Volk, Ein Reich, remember?<br />"It wasn't the German People, it was the NAZI's" just doesn't luft, mein liebkins.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745817778350624453.post-58322767902652242612014-01-23T10:03:34.961+13:002014-01-23T10:03:34.961+13:00It's Arminius ya cunt!
And the shouts heard in...It's Arminius ya cunt!<br />And the shouts heard in the palace were not "Varus, give me back my eagles", but, Pillius Quinctilius Varus, give me back my Legions!" The quote comes from Suetonius, "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars".<br />And despite what you might read - anywhere - it is "Pillius", not "Publius". The Tutor assures me of this and I know better than to question him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745817778350624453.post-50612527425671288012014-01-23T08:39:00.096+13:002014-01-23T08:39:00.096+13:00The exotic one knows what it means, being an exper...The exotic one knows what it means, being an expert in West Saxon and Jutish runes.
