I've never been gay up till this moment, but your (admittedly statistically-unlikely) tableau is strangely compelling.
I am filled by an unnamable teutonic-related excitement.
And the desire to purchase a waxed moustache, and a hat with a spike on top. Cor!

PMSL - this is the FIRST world war, ya educationally-challenged zoomer.

If Germany had won it, the Nazis would never have come to power in the first place.
