Germans Celebrate 2000 Year Anniversary of the Battle of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (Sotto voce, lest they offend the Jews)
“Battle of the Teutoburg Forest”
Germany Recalls Myth That Created the Nation
by David Crossland in Kalkriese, Germany
Spiegel Online, September 9, 2009
Germany’s 20th century history has been so troubled that anniversaries of positive events are in short supply. This year has two such rare examples, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 60th of the establishment of democracy after World War II.
There’s a third one coming up in September that represents nothing less than the birth of the German nation — the 2,000th anniversary of a devastating victory over three Roman legions by Germanic tribes in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
The battle created the first German hero, Arminius, or Hermann as he later became known, a young chieftain of the Cherusci tribe who led the rebellion and was hailed for centuries as the man who united the Germans and drove the Romans out of Germania . . . Read the whole story.

After reading about the malaise that still afflicts my ancestral homeland of Germany, I can see that the Germans are still prominent examples of what’s wrong with the white race. German historians and archaeologists seem to push German history as far away as they can, as though even they are awfully uncomfortable with it. Bend-over-akowski seems determined to reduce Hermann’s achievement to something of no consequence whatsoever.
Meanwhile, this summer, the German Historical Museum in Berlin opened an exhibition that attempts to help the Germans find their lost national identity. The museum’s director Hans Ottomeyer states, “Until a few months ago, I didn’t know myself that before 1918 there was no such thing as German citizenship. Before then, people were citizens of Prussia or Bavaria, for example.” This is the DIRECTOR of the GERMAN HISTORICAL MUSEUM. This is astounding.
I had no idea the Germans’ de-emphasis of history was so extensive. Wouldn’t someone trained in history be selected for such a job? And if he has been, what do German historians major in? The Holocaust? Are German students taught none of their 2,000 years of history before the Nazi era?
In another “meanwhile,” a new German movie is due out this week: Berlin ’36, about Jewish high-jumper Greta Bergmann, who was barred from the 1936 Olympics and replaced with a male athlete dressed as a woman.
One is reminded of the adage, “The New Europe — constantly reminding us of why our ancestors left the Old Europe,” but here in the U.S., we’re being treated to multi-cultural and feminist historical revisionism, and Jew revenge porn films. The same things are going on on both sides of the Atlantic, because the same regime rules on both sides of the Atlantic.
Thank God someone comment on the above article. I could not believe what I was reading or that this disgusting ravishing of history was even linked here. This historical fact is not a “myth.” The history of this battle was written by the Romans –THE LOSERS. What reason would the losers have to propagandize or “mythologize” their own failure?!!!! Augustus changed the borders of the Roman Empire because of this defeat.
The last people I blame for this are the pitiable, demoralized and psychologically tormented Germans. What do people expect? The hate propaganda is constant.
Sometimes gang we need to listen to some stirring music to lift our spirits and remind ourselves just who we are:
Das Lied der Deutschen / Deutschlandlied

And, in honour of one of the greatest Prussian/German/European man to have ever lived:

IMMER STOLZ!!!
” What do people expect? The hate propaganda is constant.”
Yes it is a form of Chinese water torture, this constant torrent of negativity aimed at anything White and particularly German (I myself am Half-German, Half-Norwegian). Some point to Frankfurt School Critical Theory as the origin of this destructive process.
When it comes to the Romans views on Ancient Germania, it is good to also keep in mind Tacituses ‘Germania’. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(book) ) The Romans actually had some pretty good things to say about Ancient Germans and were a fair people… in stark contrast to the current Regimes that rule over us and essentially explicitly plot our extinction (Noel Ignatiev for example)

I hope people today will take a closer look, question, and review the sources of the kind of skewed view of history expressed in the second paragraph above. Unfortunately, and especially if you live in Europe, that can result in painful consequences. Nobody goes to prison for “Hermann denial.”
