005 - We Germans Fear God and Nought Else Second Half

Dive into the powerful rhetoric of Prince Bismarck through this captivating collection of his speeches, expertly translated by art historian Edmund von Mach and published in 1914 as part of THE GERMAN CLASSICS—an ambitious twenty-volume anthology featuring 487 works from ninety-two influential figures. According to von Mach, Bismarck rarely wrote down his speeches; instead, published accounts are derived from official stenographic reports. The titles attributed to the speeches reflect their content and eloquence. In this volume, youll find significant addresses such as Salus Publica – Bismarck’s Only Lode-Star (1881), Practical Christianity (1881), We Germans Fear God, and Nought Else (1888), Mount the Guards at the Warthe and the Vistula! (1894), and Long Live the Emperor and the Empire! (1895). Don’t miss Part 1, available at this link. (Summary by Alister)
