You defame the German people sir by incorrectly suggesting Karl Martell (Charles "the hammer" Martel) was a stinking frenchman. He was leader of the Franks (in Germany). No frenchman has ever fought with the skill, bravery and intensity of the Franks.

My apologies, I'm mostly the product of public schools - but no excuses. I also happen to be of German ancestry, I'm mortified. Don't know what I could have been thinking, a French warrior of all things!

I do seem to now remember hearing that he was actually German, thanks.
