As you know, the English are Anglo-Saxons and the Germans aren’t purely Saxon.

"As you know, the English are Anglo-Saxons and the Germans aren’t purely Saxon."
The Saxons are one of the German tribes; of the sixteen German states (Laender) three include Saxony in their names (Saxony, Saxony Anhalt, and Lower Saxony). When one refers to Saxons, they refer to members of that tribe. I think Kipling would be outraged to have his poem sneakily change and post his name as the author of the changed poem.
