So one thing i found interesting is that in nazi germany, there seemed to be bad blood between the "prussian" and the regular "germans", if that makes sense. Maybe it's formulated weird, but thats why im asking. Why did the "prussian" generals dislike Hitler for example. Why did the prussians look down on the other germans, if that sense. Aren't prussians germans also ? If so why were there tension between the two "groups"
Pic related i guess, since it has hitler in it.
If by "Prussians" you mean the Habsburg nobility, they looked down on Hitler because they detested parliamentarism.
Hitler was a Bohemian corporal.
Habsburgs were Austrian , prussians where hozenheim(something like that)
The old military Junker elites viewed him as some upstart peasant.
They were seen as brutish cunts by the average non Prussian German.The word "Preiß" is a still used as a derogatory word in southern Germany and Austria
I'm not really sure, im just pretty sure i read somewhere that the prussian generals of hitlers army looked down on him for beeing a lowsy corpral and not beeing a prussian nobility.
I just wondered why there was such a focus on beeing just "prussians". Would it be fair to say that they were the old nobility of germany or something along that line ?
lol what has happened to this board?
I think you mean hohenzollern's :)
How come there was such a focus on beeing just prussian ? Were they just seen as "better" than the average german? Was there some underlying history that just made them seen as beeing "better"
The Prussian nobility disliked the modernistic Hitler, not necessarily that he was ((((((Austrian)))))) but that he was literally everything wrong with liberalism.
Prussian were protestants,spoke their own dialect of German and were part of a highly militarised society. Southern Germany and Austria have their own common version of German and are catholic, plus there's the old rivalry between Prussia and Austria. I don't believe they were seen as better, but the Prussian nobility probably believed they were better, in war and ordnung, than the others.
oh i see. So it was almost like a clash of different cultures? Thanks user !
They wanted to kill anglos and Hitler refused.

Not really. Die hard monarchists (aka the majority of the officers and generals in the army who were mostly prussian junkers) absolutely despised hitler and the nazis. They were too much of cucks to oppose him but at least they did tru to assassinate him and almost succeeded
Adolf Hitler was not liberal. His re-appropriation of rhetoric from other ideologies was nothing short of demagoguery. In practice, Adolf Hitler performed the largest privatization of the government at the time, all while exterminating Unionists, Communists and Socialists.
It was really only a matter of time before someone on Veeky Forums complained that Hitler was too liberal.
forming the german state was a disaster for prussia!
wtf prussians are slavs cosplaying as their teutonic masters and these warmongering junkers ruined Germany, Bavaria is the REAL Germany of beer, bratwurst, lederhosen and alpine black forests
this They fell for the collectivist meme, their patchwork of city states and small principalities loosely connected by a mediator was just fine and would sync perfectly with the industrial revolution and capitalism.
In fact this system would probably work so well that groups in eastern Europe and the balkans stuck under the declining Russian and Ottoman empires would rebel and join the system voluntarily. Ironically the Germanic would achieve their dream of expanding east had they not been boot stomping militarists.

Prussian generals were nobility elite: Junkers.
Is the last one lan imaginary grisse germania or 1848 liberal all German bund (or whatever it was called)
