I remember a quote made by Disraeli. This is not exactly correct but as good as I can remember.
He said he had been to nearly every country on earth and every where he went he found Scotsmen. He said he also noticed they were at the head of the poll. I guess that meant they were leaders.

My Fathers youngest Brother Glen stayed in Germany after his army hitch was up. He married a German girl and started his own business. He was the same age as my Sister and had flaming red hair.
He died the same day my Father did. Daddy was 90 and basically died of old age. Glen died in a wreck on the autobahn. The German police think he suffered a heart attack before crashing.
Did you catch the article about the shooting outside Atlanta? Seems a person bent on ill-intent went into this house in the middle of the day (that’s how they do it here, figuring no one is home), but a lady was there with her two kids. She proceeded to hide the kids and then put 5 rounds into the gentleman. Unfortunately he lives, but the lady lives too, and her kids still have a mom.
He wouldn’t be the first Scotsman that went Deutch. There was the famous German army’s WWI “Deathshead” Division commanded by a Mackensen. He was the son of a Scotish diplomat (Miltiary attache) named MacKenzie assigned to the Austrian court who married up and had a son which became a leading general fighting against the Brits in WWI. He later became a Hitler supporter...
Don’t forget there’s allways much made of the German “blood” in the royals.
