[edit]

Kaiser Wilhelm II was Germany's first rapper. This is because he was the first to publicly produce a popular song that mentions his name in the lyrics. Most of which are gloating about him. Lines such as, "Heil Kaiser Dir." Rap is required to be fast in the tempo. The term, "fast" is subjective. Therefore, we can thus say the song, "Heil Dir im Siegerkranz." (A song produced by Kaiser Wilhelm II) is a rap song. Furthermore, it became popular enough to become a recognizable country anthem. The melody was even used to make popular songs such as, "My country 'tis of thee." 174.110.34.201 (talk) 22:14, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I noticed a blatant grammatical error in the section about the Herero and Nama genocide, and I just hoped that it could be corrected. Here is the sentence I'm referring to: "In South West Africa (now Namibia), a native revolt against German rule led to the Herero and Namaqua genocide, although Wilhelm eventually ordered it to be stopped and recalled its mastermind General Lothar von Trotha." Namaqua is an outdated term for the Nama, literally meaning "the place of the Nama". Thus, I suggest changing the bolded link to "Herero and Nama genocide".

"a very slim volume"

[edit]

Sure sounds like Wilhelm's memoirs are 150 pages or so, doesn't it? But the reference has 384 pages. Not much for memoirs, perhaps, but not a "very slim volume" either. 94.191.136.252 (talk) 12:27, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

At the near end of "Views on Nazism" this is stated:

Hitler, on the other hand, in one of his speeches in 1940, specifically stated that the downfall of Germany in the First World War was due to ** country's "poor leadership" at that time.

Just gotta add a single "the" at the starred spot. ~2026-11276-25 (talk) 21:53, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
