A nation of warriors comments like those of Killerbee (

) and recently by Pit " and, in my estimation proves to be just as dull German cattle rather than true " (b ! eide read here) encourage me always, not because there is something true and I would turn the not one before, but because they show a striking ignorance of the German character, when they say that we Germans are apathetic, steering and stupid. We are not!
The matter is more complicated, so allow me a little auszuholen. Caesar and Tacitus tell a lot about the Germans. Caesar speaks of them in the trunk than the best is that wegwohnt the furthest from the other strains. Like wolf packs go, the Germans believe that it is useful to create a large area, pure trust in the others are not. You have more of a free "area" just as wolves, instead draw a wall around a territory, and this then call her own. But they are not nomads, who would wander around at random.
to Tacitus, I wrote some time ago this text: In an issue of "Germania" of Tacitus from the war begins, the German translation of the 2nd Chapter with the words:
'From the Germans, even I want to believe that they natives of the country {} are racially and are hardly distorted by the penetration and the ready reception of foreign peoples. " (Translation Arno Mauersberger)
a clear case of propagandistic appropriation of an ancient Roman text by the Nazis thought, in any event, the Reclam publishing house, in 1972 following translation Proposal:
"The Germans even, I would think indigenous people and migration and hospitable reception of foreign peoples completely unaffected. " (Translation: Manfred Fuhrmann)
seems so at first only the word "racially distorted" to have fallen victim to the times. However, the text can be interpreted by Fuhrmann also the case that the Germans had simply not much to do with other peoples, just because they live all alone in their forests. The translation from the Nazi era, however, places a clear emphasis that the Germans are not with the foreign nations (and not penetrate either migrate or be absorbed just optional) mix, so get children together, which then would be "mixed blood".
View we are the Latin original of times:
Ipsos Germanos indigenous credderim minimeque aliarum adventibus et gentium hospitiis mixtos ... (the rate goes even further in Latin, both translators are agreed that Tacitus as a reason for seclusion of the Germanic names that hardly anyone at that time for endless besegle held North Sea).
The Germans themselves (Ipsos, refers to the contrast to Chapter 1, where the country Germania been talked about now Tacitus speaks of the people "themselves") are therefore an indigenous people, they live always there are Native American, believes (credderim) at least the author. In no case they have been mixed (mixtos) with other nations (aliarum Gentium) by the arrival / publication (adventibus, see Advent) or hospitality (hospitia).
The double mention of arriving and hospitality only makes sense if the first arrivals (adventibus) does not happen friendly ("penetration"). In the Reclam edition, it runs up a double naming (they come in peace or they are taken peacefully). Although his "Adventus" not meant to be belligerent, seems to me at this point the "intrusion" (martial) is a better translation to be as the "immigrant" (peaceful), because otherwise the contrast (hospitia) would be senseless and immigration ran out in Roman times, generally to military conflict, the indigenous and immigrant ethnic groups (in our modern, enlightened world that is of course quite different and many different cultures live peacefully and without conflict and with each other).
Now to the question whether Tacitus says the Germans are racially mixed or not do it enough with other nations had. The Latin misc (PPP is mixtos of MISC) clearly means "mixed." What could the author mean when not the genetic mixing of foreign ethnic groups with the Germans? (...)
This again is a case of falsification of history, how to find it anywhere if you search for them.
The Germans were so great warriors, as hunters, collectors and breeders who make a living.

you were wondering how other peoples and barbarians (as the Saxons) racial high value on their Purity. accepted by other nations, as the Celts, the Roman customs, and mingled with the Romans, Caesar speaks with contempt - whether by the effeminate luxury of Roman life - easy prey, as he demonstrated impressively with the conquest of Gaul.
The Germanic and Celtic tribes lived, like many of the North American Indians, with each other in a constant war contest. Caesar took as a reason for his war in Gaul that the Helvetians burned their villages and even set out to prove that they were the greatest warriors. He taught them a lesson. Then he followed a call for help and Aedui drove back the German king Ariovistus to the other side of the Rhine. When the two met before the battle, Caesar's legate told something of international law and the suffering of their Gallic allies (the Aedui). Ariovistus replied: "The war gave the conquerors the right to grant the vanquished any Go!" The Romans were the peoples they had defeated jump around, even as they do, then he would tolerate interference in its affairs .
For classical scholars here from the Latin original "de bello Gallico" liber 1, Chapter 26:
„Ad haec Ariovistus respondit: ius esse belli, ut, qui vicissent, iis, quos vicissent, quemadmodum vellent, imperarent; item populum Romanum victis non ad alterius praescriptum, sed ad suum arbitrium imperare consuesse. Si ipse populo Romano non praescriberet, quemadmodum suo iure uteretur, non oportere se a populo Romano in suo iure impediri.”
stepson of Caesar Octavian (Augustus) tried to accomplish what Caesar had begun with the victory over Ariovistus and the symbolic crossing of the Rhine. He sent Varus with nine legions into Germany, with the well-known result.
The sword bears the inscription:
German unity, my strength -
-
my strength, Germany's power. -
since Hannibal crossed the Alps and march through Italy, the Romans had not experienced such a defeat more (with the possible exception of the six legions which Crassus in the Persian desert is death).
Thereafter, they were cautious. Knowing that they could not conquer Germania and under constant pressure from Germanic raids on Roman territory, they did what dying empires always do: They built a wall.
The Germanic (and Gothic) "foederati" should turn out for the Romans as a dangerous ally. Under strong migratory pressure finally broke Westrom together.

thrown from the Germans, they had followed Hitler as sheep while they were thus their innate instinct to kill and to exclude others investigated. No one is thinking about how it was the Germans at the time of seizure of power as they had suffered under the terror of the Allies. Likewise, no one thinks about the evictions and mass rape by soldiers of the victorious powers (and not only were the Russians, my friends !!!).
No one is thinking about where the deep-seated Self-hatred is, the lack of will to survive, the apathy.
Because we can not even say that we have been now 65 years re-education and psychological warfare are exposed, we can not articulate why we are so badly off.
And there are still warriors in our ranks! Most have been driven only by the lies about our history in the wrong direction. Proud they are fighting against the supposedly evil.

You only draw the wrong conclusions from these observations because they are attracted sent in the wrong direction. Their anger is directed at the wrong target.

And the others who do not go on the road? These are all cowards? Voting bloc?
No, it is our German brothers and sisters who are trapped in a cleverly woven net, a kind of matrix, a prison for their minds, they do not touch, smell still can.
Dei "political correctness", the enormous pressure to conform, the spiral of silence, apply to the fear of a Nazi, all these are also not isolated little game being played by the Germans together, but they are underpinned by a threat. The threat of social ostracism (at the individual level). The threat of isolation in Europe (national level). And finally (at the global level) with the threat of the still current hegemonic power of the U.S., which it turned out to take us and our neighbors to point out the welcome "diversity" and "Minorities" include so in the political-social process that they can always claim their right to special treatment. What do you think, what happens if we defend ourselves against it, as long as America still a more or less functioning empire his own calls?
The Fear is not the cowardice of the conformists, the boss or colleagues, even contradictory. The existence of fear one has bombed our grandparents deep into the soul. Since it attracts us with the promise of prosperity - if we behave well and some have every Tom, Dick and Kunz (or Ali and Ubulubu) it can be. For a better world.
