That is Junker’s view of the citizens of various European countries (Junker thinks of the citizens as peasants over which to be ruled).

Juncker, not Junker.

"(Junker thinks of the citizens as peasants over which to be ruled)."

A lot of the European leadership can't get feudalism out of their minds.
They all want a ruling nobility restored to lord over their European peasantry. Well, that's my opinion.

Probably a bit over simplified. They were more of the landed middle class. Younger sons that didn't inherit the land usually ended up in the civil service or the military. Certainly better than the peasants, but below the titled aristocracy (unless one considers 'Junker' a title). They did generally oppose the peasant Hitler and his popular government.
