Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bismarck in the Franco-German War, 1870-1871, Vol. 2 of 2 About the middle of November I wrote home: "It is still possible that we may get back before Christmas. From expressions attributed to the King in the last few days many think it likely. For my own part I don´t put much faith in it, although everything is going well, and Paris will probably be reduced to meal and horse-flesh in three or four weeks, and must accordingly ´sing small,´ especially when Hindersin´s big guns begin to assist to rapid decisions a government made reasonable by starvation. I can understand how our good friend S. finds the thing slow. Certainly the war makes no account of his comfort or that of those who feel with him. Let him possess himself in patience a while longer, like our soldiers, who have to wait for the end in hunger and dirt, while he and other fine people in Berlin lie on comfortable sofas and have their cups and platters full. These omniscient critics of the bar and the tap-room, with their eternal grumbling and fault-finding, are a queer sort, ridiculous and very unsatisfactory."
