  Rupprecht - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Prince Rupprecht's first wife, a daughter of Duke Karl Theodor of Bavaria and sister of the Queen of the Belgians, died in 1912.
Prince Rupprecht renounced his claims to the Bavarian throne at the time of his father's abdication (Nov. 1918), and in 1919 he offered to stand his trial before a Court of Justice for State Affairs, if such a court, as had been contemplated, were instituted.
In a letter written in 1917, but published only in 1921 in the press, Prince Rupprecht declared his disapproval of the foreign and military policy of Germany during the World War, and expressed the well-founded opinion that it was doubtful whether the Hohenzollern dynasty would survive the war.

Crown Prince Wilhelm's reaction to the defensive doctrine conveyed this feeling of ownership, for in the new doctrine he recognized ideas that had been forwarded to OHL from his army group, which "was the cause of great satisfaction to my Chief of Staff and myself."
Crown Prince Wilhelm wrote that the elastic defense-in-depth needed well-disciplined, well-trained, and well-led troops which were becoming more difficult to find because of the strain of war.
Crown Prince Wilhelm wrote that this strong encouragement of storm unit techniques was one of Ludendorff's greatest services rendered during the war.

But dynastic reasons, jealousy of Crown Prince Rupprecht, the opportunity to call the final battle a " Kaiserschlacht ", and the desire to give the German Crown Prince a share in the victory, may have contributed to the change.

On 11 November, 1917, the emperor’s executive powers were declared being suspended and in his place Crown prince Wilhelm was proclaimed Regent, with the overly colorless, but pliant Count Georg von Hertling as Chancellor, but with a civilian camarilla, headed by Stresemann and Bassermann in the background, preparing Germany’s exit from the world conflict.

Nevertheless, in the face of heavy attacks by three corps of the German First, Second and Seventh Armies, the French managed to hold on to Arras, although Lens was lost to the Germans on 4 October, by which time fighting had subsided and the line begun to stabilise once again.

The former Crown Prince retorted by calling the General's accusation false and the General faithless to the monarchist cause.
General Ludendorff was reported to have expressed a desire to fight a duel with the ex-Crown Prince, but etiquette does not permit a commoner the impudence of fighting with royalty, so the irate General demanded that Rupprecht should appear before a court of honor to defend himself (TIME, Nov. 10).
Bavarians, most of whom regard and treat Prince Rupprecht as King of Bavaria, supported the Prince's attitude toward the General and there were deft insinuations made to him that he had better pitch his tent in another part of Germany.
