Does Europe have a Germany problem or does Germany have a Europe problem.
Like, if it’s a forgone conclusion that the Krauts will attempt to rule Europe, we must take a stance. As long as we know there is a Germany that will do this that becomes the constant. The variable, then, is how they succeed and fail with each attempt. The Eternal German, to give it a name.
So the question is: is Europe destined to be German and this is one long series of struggles as the Eternal German waxes and wanes? In which ultimately Europe will be suborned, eventually.
Or is Germany destined for failure every time, and therefore the Eternal German takes the role of the fickle province in constant rebellion against the rest of Europe?
I don’t think that even mattered, consider guys who did lost later turned out to be UK and France. Though it might be because they became UK and France because repeated conquests by Germans…
The intro bit where it’s just footage of Prussian flags and talking about the Germanic religion of iron and blood… that’s the Eternal German right there

Which way, Western Man?
If only Varus hadn’t lost the battle of the Teutoburg forest, we wouldn’t have to worry about all this shit.

Your comment reminds me of this US propaganda video from the US War Department in 1945.

I prefer those old-timer accents.
