apparently i have [german/prussian] ancestors who were generals in the napoleonic wars (for the holy roman empire), and both world wars (the general in WWII, in defense of my non-Nazi family were not directly related to me, and the one who was in the military hated Hitler). in other words, my family is partially responsible for a lot of military defeat and loss. i guess not all is bad, though. we also fought in the franco-prussian war, which was terribly successful, provided you weren't french. one even died in belgium barely a month after WWI broke out! how honorable!
plus, they looked ridiculous and prussian in all these old photographs. hooray! i have a lot to look forward to!
also, my great great great great grandfather weighed over 300 german pounds, which is based on a 500g pound, as opposed to the typical 450g pound standard today.
but we did live in the motherland! hooray koenigsberg! hooray kaliningrad!
so losers, funny-looking, and ridiculously overweight! sweet!
