"La première des vertus est le dévouement à la patrie" Napoléon Bonaparte
AntwortenLöschen'Und im Tode sind wir alle Brueder'
LöschenIs there a lot of recognition/remembrance of the events of 1813 in Germany, or is it restricted to people with an interest in the Napoleonic period?
AntwortenLöschen(apologies for comment in English, but the only other option was to google-translate it into some pigeon German!)
James

LöschenI really picked the wrong time to move to Canada!
Perhaps look forward to something in the Great Lakes area next year?!
LöschenI guess that's the thing left to do to this desperate German!
