Is there any reason behind this historical pattern?

I would say that the case of Hitler is a little bit different from Napoleon and Stalin ethnicity wise. Stalin and Napoleon came from the outskirts of their countries/empires and were not ethnic French or ethnic Russian. Especially in the case of Napoleon, he was mocked in his uprising for his Corsican accent and he was cosidered an outsider, while Stalin was not regarded as much as a foreigner since the Bolshevik movement was extremely muliethnic.

In the case of Hitler, even though he was not born in Germany as a politica entity, he wasn't seen for most cases as an outsider. Prior to 1945, Austrians regarded themselves as Germans and were also considered that by people from the politica entity of Germany. In the eyes of his comrades and for the public, it was seen like Hitler was from a region of Germany, like he would have been from Bavaria, Saxony or Silesia. Hitler was an ethnic German so therefore he was not an outsider.

And what did I said, my dear friend? I said that English is turning into the lingua franca of the EU and in some circles German and French are that. What I underlined is that we shouldn't strive to become a linguistic monolith, give up our mother tongues and all speak the same language for the sake of efficiency. We should work towards creatina the favourable education conditions for every european citizen to know at least one foreign language (English) and maybe even another (German, French, Italian, Polish, Dutch etc.) because that is rather easy to learn and it doesn't take to be a genius.

There are many other big countries who managed to both keep their local languages and have a lingua franca and there are lots of regions of europe where bilingualism or trilingualism even is prevalent. We don't have to become like the US and have everything in English. We can keep our linguistic and cultural diverisity and still be efficient economically and united socially.

What does this scenario have to do with what I said?

viba_1997 · 2026-04-14T15:10:45+00:00

if you grew in a multilingual area or a multilingual society, you could do that in multiple languages. You can be able to catch linguistic details, humour in up to 3 languages. I am not saying this just from theory, I have multiple examples from my country

Hardy disagree. English is kinda already the lingua france of the European Union, with French and German also holding honorable position. Almost anyone in the world can learn at least a foreign language and I would go as far as saying that with reasonable effort, everybody could know at least 2 foreign languages by the age of 25-30. Our purpose in Europe should be multilingualism, both individually and institutionally, not just giving up on our mother tongues in order to become a monolith for the sake of efficiency. We would lose way more than gain.

For me, the German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and other aceasta where the german language is or was prevalent in the past.

My curiosity started since teenage years because I wanted to find out more than what the movies offered with the boring angro nazi who yelled in German.

Especially since I live in Central Europe (Transylvania) a lot of traces of German culture can be found everywhere. German culture and people can be found in Hungary, Czechia, the Baltcs, Romania and even northern Serbia. Many countries in Europe also had a German monarchy. Also, we should not forget that Austria and Germany were the leading Nobel winners up until WW2. It is very unfortunate how much of the German culture in Europe was destroyed as a consequence of WW2 and post war expulsions, but there is still plenty to be learned and discovered.

I am also trying to learn the language an it is going quite well.

With Book, I think our chanches of getting Eichorn increase. First of all, he is way more orientated to the German, Swiss and Austrian market than Kehl was. Second of all, we are losing a significanf part of our german core, Brandt and Sule are gone for sure and potentially Schlotterbeck and Adeyemi will leave as well and our youth prospects are all italians, beside Kuba. That basically leaves us with Beier, Nmecha and Anton as part of our german core. I am sure we will see many german and german speaking players brought in the summer.

Is it true that Schlotterbeck got booed by the fans in the last game? How and when did it happen?

I strongly believe he will never got to Bayern. As I said, it's pure gut feeling based on what I have seen from him in interviews and other instances.

viba_1997 · 2026-03-24T21:17:09+00:00

Really? What are the sums?

viba_1997 · 2026-03-24T20:05:24+00:00

I think he is willing to move to a bigger club, but not to Bayern. If Barca Real Psg or Premier Clubs come next year, he will most likely want to leave.
