Headline: "German Army Objects To Being Called 'Hun'"

"...the British general had not the slightest right to speak of Germans as Huns.
Germany's conduct of warfare has at all times been marked by the greatest chivalry toward her opponents."

Riiiiiiiiiigt!
And if you'll believe that, then let me tell you about an affordable health care plan, where if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor...

And where, oh where, could this infamous defamation of good German character have originated?
Well, there was this Kaiser, named Wilhelm II, in 1900:

"On July 27, 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion in China, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany gave the order to act ruthlessly towards the rebels:

'Mercy will not be shown, prisoners will not be taken.
Just as a thousand years ago, the Huns under Attila won a reputation of might that lives on in legends, so may the name of Germany in China, such that no Chinese will even again dare so much as to look askance at a German.'[67]"

Germans behave like perfect gentlemen? Never on the Eastern Front, where they behaved brutally. They even had moments on the Western Front like the Malmedy Massacre.

It goes to the theory you discussed yesterday, henkster, that wars increase in brutality as they wear on.
