Hey folks!
For myself, i dont have any real problem with the term "hun", all nations had their nick-names on the field so... why not huns?
But i want to pick up a word from Olham. I don´t really like the term "the dark side". For me, in ww1 there wasn´t any good, or dark side, all soldiers of all the nations have done their job in a good believe. For King and Country and so on ... I think we can´t judge it with the actuall "point of view", in other words, with the eyes of today, it was another time, the people weren´t out of the same wood like today, or maybe better, the people today are not out of the same wood the people where then. (guess you get the point)
For me, nicknames of the "enemy" are quiet normal, and to be called a hun? hey never mind, wheres the tommy who said that? But, for me, i actualy dont like the term "dark side" or evil guys etc etc etc. I guess this would bring a wrong light on the german side.
Today i talked to one of my patients, about this thema (imperial german bzw. Preussian´s itself). I can´t understand why today people put this aspekt of our history in such a bad light! Hey, we dont talk about our real bad years! -> but i guess this could have an impact on the whole thing ... (also if this would be wrong but people are like this...)
just my two cents
