In 1938 in the lead up to world war two, Hermann goering, chief of the Luftwaffe and world war one ace, would visit The ex Kaiser at the his home in the city of doorn. The kaiser was unimpressed with goering saying he was “A vain creature”. After the german takeover of France The kaiser would send Adolf Hitler a telegram saying “Under the deeply moving impression of the capitulation of France I congratulate you and the whole German Wehrmacht on the mighty victory granted by God”. Once germany controlled the Netherlands Hitler, being an ex soldier fighting for the kaiser invited the kaiser back to germany but he refused following his vow “to never return to germany till it's a monarchy again”. ---------------------------------------------------- #ww1 #ww2 #warfacts #historiansunion Follow my comrades @war_tales @interesting_war_facts @ww2_the_history @historians_union_main @history_hankering And my other accounts @earth_war_propaganda @earth_historical_photos @earth_war_memes
