...accepting his nominations for new commanders to fill the place of the retiring generals. For one thing, Erhard did not want to set the precedent of firing a civilian Defense Minister just because a few generals were angry with him. For another, Von Hassel, the former minister-president of Schleswig-Holstein, commands the Protestant northern wing of the Christian Democratic Union, and Erhard does not want to offend some of his staunchest supporters...

"They play their little-mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen image to the hilt." Some 4,500,000 people live in the tidy land north of Schleswig-Holstein, and they wallow in hygge (pronounced HUG-ga), which simply means coziness. It is an indispensable word in Danish that reaches everyone, everywhere.
