A fellow student of history once joked to me that the side with the best uniform tends to lose any given war...

But seriously, the Germans have long had a talent for good uniforms - in addition to their talents for armored warfare, small unit tactics, officer training. etc.. Generally good gents to have in a fight.

All true. However, during the 20th. century they seemed to have lost the knack of actually winning wars. Most students of the subject regard that as a rather serious failing.

It all comes from letting the Bavarians in. When it was just Prussians they did much better.

That actually almost makes sense. You could take it further by pointing out that that Austrian dude really made a hash of it. And going farther south, the Italians could hardly fight at all. Seems to be a gradient in fighting ability that correlates with latitude. At least along that particular meridian. Thanks, BD, I think I have a theme for my Ph.D thesis now.

You really want anger here, do you?

The Bavarians in the Alpenkorps and the Gebirgdivisions did an impressive job during WWI and II. I only mention Alpen, France, Russia, Kaukasus, Kreta.

Greets from Bavaria and a former Gebirgsjäger!

WWII

To be fair, they won Russia once. In part by smuggling Lenin there, but still... in 1940 they also succeeeded in occupying France, and even though it didn't end the whole war, the military victory itself was more complete than that in 1870.

yea, the bavarians actually belong to us in the first place, if you go by the "type" of german they speak, by their traditions and folkmusic, in fact their a minority in germany, in a way. they should give it to us, well be glad, and they have a "renegade" county less

after that theres just the south tyrol problem left. *evil laughter*

i think if we would have knowen what is to come we would have let him into the arts university and be done with it. the way it went he failed pre selection test, i think twice, and took off to germany pretty frustrated.
from that point on its the "germans" fault *washing hands*
