Louis Nizer   What to do with Germany   1944   Prussians, Junkers, and Spree-Kosacken
In the days of Frederick the Great, only one-third of his "Prussians" spoke German.  The balance remained faithful to their Slavic languages.
Everybody has some idea of who the Germans are.  But who exactly are the Prussians?  Who are the Junkers?  Who are the Spree-Kosacken?  These are the questions that are answered below by Louis Nizer.

Nizer's statement is of particular relevance to the Ukrainian Archive in undermining the belief adopted by some Germans during the Second World War that Slavs were racially distinct and inferior, and thus properly destined to serve the German super-race as slaves.

Nizer's statement also serves to reveal the German thrust eastward during the Second World War not as unprecedented, but rather as a continuation of an exapansion begun 700 years earlier which had ultimately added substantially to German power.

One might even go so far as to interpret the recent Slavic occupation of an eastern portion of Germany as a brief and ultimately failed attempt to force the re-absorption into the Slavic world of some of the population and territories torn from it by force over the centuries.

Who is Louis Nizer?  I find at hand the following not very recent entry:

Nizer, Louis, (1902- ), U.S. lawyer, author.  Active in areas related to arts, copyright, plagiarism, etc.  Author of courtroom reminiscences and book on Rosenberg Case.  (Geoffrey Wigoder (ed.), Encyclopedic Dictionary of Judaica, Len Amiel Publisher, New York-Paris, and Keter Publishing House, Jerusalem, 1974, p. 455)


Germany originally consisted of many separate States differing in culture, origin and language.*

* It is often overlooked that Germany is composed of two elements which differ racially and culturally.  The original German tribes, who were influenced by Western civilization early in their history, lived in the Western and Southern parts of present-day Germany.  The inhabitants of the territory east of the River Elbe, however, were Slavic in origin and tongue.  These Slavic groups were conquered and enslaved 700 years ago by German knights whose descendants are the Junkers of today.  They lost their cultural heritage slowly and, in fact, there is, within fifty miles of Berlin, a large group (300,000) which still retains its Slavic tongue.  In the days of Frederick the Great, only one-third of his "Prussians" spoke German.  The balance remained faithful to their Slavic languages.  After Bismarck had created the German Reich in 1870, the conflict continued between the Western Germans and the Junkers.  Bismark wrote in his Memoirs that the Prussians were hated by the Rhinelanders who called the Junkers "Spree-Kosacken" (Cossacks of the River Spree).
