More Prussia

The Germans believe that the Prussians, who have conquered them, can conquer anybody. They have no fear of external danger for the same reason that they have no hope of internal revolt.We cannot rescue the German from the Prussian until we can rescue him from the fear of the Prussian. In other words, we are at war with a legend---or to put it more correctly, a spell. Now, it is characteristic of all such spells that they cling on as long as there is any sort of doubt; and half-defeats of them are no defeats at all.
