shouldn’t that be Jimmy Earl ???
100 years ago was the battle of Le Cateau in the First
World War. It came after the retreat from Mons.
Just a note but the first English casualties were from
a friendly fire incident.

Was dich auch bedrohe,
Eine heilige Lohe
Gibt dir Sonnenkraft.
Laß dich nimmer knechten;
Laß dich nie entrechten.
Gott gibt den Gerechten
Wahre Heldenschaft.
Was auch immer werde,
Steht zur Heimat Erde;
Bleibe wurzelstark!
Kämpfe, blute, werbe
Für dein höchstes Erbe;
Siege oder sterbe,
Deutsch sei bis ins Mark!
When you are threatened,
A holy fire
Gives you the power of the sun.
Never submit to servitude,
Never be disenfranchised;
God gives the righteous
True heroism.
Come what may,
Stay true to the homeland,
Remain strongly rooted
Fight, bleed, organize
For the highest honor.
Win or die,
Germans must prevail in the border area.
The Nazis used the time honored false flag pretext for war by “attacking” German border posts with German troops dressed up as Polish units. The dead bodies seen on newsreels were Polish soldiers, that’s how they got the uniforms.
This information was used during the Nuremberg trials as proof that the Nazis conspired to wage aggressive war against Poland and most of Europe.
