Quite simple, when he was born he was an Austrian, it was Austria, post World War 1, Czechoslovakia was created and he remained there so becoming a Czech for the period the area existed, then after the rise of Hitler he was "chosen" to become a German as he was an ethnic Germanic and it suited the current management . After all we regard Immanuel Kant as being German, however if we follow this rhetoric through he is a Russian as his birthplace is now Kaliningrad, Russia. The problem with this is a matter of ethnicity and well as the ever changing political map of the world, we could discuss this for hours and probably end up nowhere at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schweizer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The guy who invented sauerkraut. How great is that stuff! To which version do you refer as there are many regional variations from east France to east Poland, personally I prefer the Bavarian version with lots of vinegar and mustard seeds, some have hardly any vinegar in at all and to me taste like boiled cabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 A personal favourite, Another interesting character, Franz Josef Strauss, listen to Bob Calverts brilliant Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters album. All the people involved in the 'krautrock' movement that gave us such great groups as, Can, Neu, Ashra temple and Tangerine Dream. Special mention goes to Manuel Gottsching, an underated guitar player. Gerd Muller. 'Der Kaiser' himself, the mighty Franz Beckenbauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To which version do you refer as there are many regional variations from east France to east Poland, personally I prefer the Bavarian version with lots of vinegar and mustard seeds, some have hardly any vinegar in at all and to me taste like boiled cabbage I make a basic sauerkraut. Sliced cabbage add salt and some water. Basic yet delicious. If anyone has a good sauerkraut recipe I'd love to know thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfather Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Arnold Schwarzenegger Thought he was Austrian ? Same thing... I am going to defer the decision on that one, to one of our friends from Germany they may disagree.. Can we include the Swiss as well then..their basically German's who make chocolate and cuckoo clocks ? Cuckoo clocks are made in the Black Forest, Germany.
