Thanks much for the correction, Yeti.

Not condoning Krupp or German militarism, but the glimse into the early history of an industrial super empire was very interesting for me. It was amazing how long the old German generals clung to their bronze field canon over fluid steel. The way Krupp played the imperialist powers off one another in selling the lastest weapons technology at the turn of the century was especially illuminating.
