I suppose the younger man in the Death Head hussar uniform was the Crown Prince (Kronprinz) under Wilhelm II. He certainly had a very beautiful wife! What was her name? Thanks for the excellent video.
I've gotta say, those European Royals had some mighty good lookin people in their blood lines. All with blue eyes, blond hair, some dark brown, but hey, they're good looking. And I love those uniforms they wear, only place like it is England when the Queen comes out to play.
Actually The Totenkopf, represented something real evil, penetrated in the Magnificent Glory of The Monarchs of Deutschland, with as result World War Revolution and the Overtrowing of Der Kaiser. and some other Crowned heads, as we all know followed with other cruel Dictators, who muredered many and claim The Freedom! The current Monarchies should have learned from their ancestors History, in The present times of uncertainty they should maintain Peace and Stabilty, as their Divine task orders!!
If you like this, I suggest you check out the german Empire in the game called Cybernations. It is a re birth of the reich and we can use everyone we can get. Go to cybernations(search it in google), make a nation and then go to the german empire's forums. You will need to search The German Empire forums in google and hit the wiki page then near the bottom of the side bar you should see TGE forums. CLick it and you will be there!
@thebritish25 They still around, still in Germany like most of the rest. The current head of the family is Prince Georg Friedrich, who looks alot like Wilhelm II. He went to school in Britain, served in the German army and now works in the private sector.
@thebritish25 The title is not used anymore, as to WW2 that's a little complicated. The Nazis courted the Kaiser but he opposed them but one son did join the party and was blackballed by his father for doing so. They didn't leave the country, a grandson went into the army and was killed and after that Hitler ordered all princes kept away from the front because of the outpouring of royalist sympathy. The Crown Prince was kept under arrest until the end of the war.
@thebritish25 Anything is possible but it is highly unlikely at this point. It is against the law to change the current form of government and the bundesrepublik is pretty good about outlawing any opposition parties that make them nervous. So far the monarchists in Germany avoid political parties.
@skull16cr There is no empire anymore, so an emperor (Kaiser, in German) is not a valid title, unless it is reauthorized. The title was also used by the Habsburg emperors of Austria.
@skull16cr It dates back to the Napoleonic Wars when Duke Friedrick Wilhelm of Brunswick was killed in battle as his hussars, as a sign of mourning adopted black uniforms and the deaths-head on their busbies. As a result it came to be associated with elite troops.
@MadMonarchist I remember reading somewhere that these Brunswick troops fought under Wellington at Waterloo, (correct me if I'm wrong), there was a comment about their death head insignia and black uniforms.
@Rico8458 The Imperial German flag was red, white and black -red and white were the colors of Brandenburg and black and white were the colors of Prussia.
A little correction here: The colours white and red, in this context, were the colours of the Hanseatic League, a league of free cities in northern Germany. The flag was first used as that of the Northern German Confederacy after 1866.
Sir(s): If I may, and if U do not mind, I see this fine film of yesteryear (ca. 1870), and I remember the quotation of Francis Thompson, here, namely, "The angels keep their ancient places:--Turn but a stone, and start a wing! 'Tis ye, 'tis your estranged faces, That miss the many-splendoured thing." This Monday, 1 FEBRUARY 2010, 1:10 PM, CST, USA, I state my Motto here: "Accomplish Nothing Short of Excellence." This Excellence does not lead to Apathy, Suffering, Procrastination, Etc. Godspeed.
Thanks. My cinematic talents are certainly limited but I'm doing what I can for the cause. As they used to say, "King George and Olde England Forever!" -and in relation to this video, 'Hoech der Kaiser!"
