...names of the bishop and the ruling Pope, but rarely that of the temporal ruler." With deep misgivings they watched the war against Napoleon III, Bismarck's new Empire, the ascendancy of Protestant Prussia over Catholic Bavaria, the visiting officers and nobles who profaned rustic Masses by singing Deutschland über alles before the Te Deum...
...German speakers, discussed German culture. For all their Germanic carousing, his companions remained good democrats. But they soon began to discern in Dale Maple a growing admiration for Adolf Hitler, and for Nazi "efficiency." Dale took perverse pleasure in shocking his associates by singing the Horst Wessel song and Deutschland Uber Alles.
