And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Hirschhorn, Germany, 1920s. Somehow I doubt these are still there.
Despite the WWII bombing where I was stationed in Germany buildings from the 1300s still stood. Looks like somewhat updated, these guys are still there.
Hirschhorn is where my namesake had a castle. If you haven't read about him, you should. German knight...real badass. Every German knows his reply when besieged and surrounded.
Yep, those buildings are still there. Goetz von Berlichingen

Hirschhorn am Neckar, Germany and similar buildings still exist.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming the "facilities" were in that part of the house?
ReplyDeleteDucks in the wild live about 7 years, so probably not.
ReplyDeleteBest laugh I've had today.
DeleteGood one! 😀

Great referral.
ReplyDeleteI bet the guy with the prosthetic arm in Young Frank was modeled after him. Sounds like a badass, indeed.
Thanks!
