  German Student Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corps are built upon the principle of tolerance: No corps may endorse a certain political, scientific or religious viewpoint; additionally, all members are solely chosen by their personal character.
Even with the principle of tolerance being a central aspect in each corps' self-image, every corps student is urged to develop his own viewpoints and stand for them and to strongly participate in society, be it in politics, economy or social affairs.
Mark Twain describes his encounters with German corps students in chapters IV to VII of his travelogue "A Tramp Abroad".

They will have been told that these are the "corps" students, and the sight of them so jolly and so idle will confirm their mental picture of the German student, the picture of a young man who does nothing but drink beer, fight duels, sing Volkslieder and Trinklieder, and make love to pretty, low-born maidens.

 German Music - Foreign Music
Owing to language, the German songs do not have the extreme ease of utterance of those in Italy, where speech is so akin to song, but their generally cheerful character unmistakably points to a sanguine disposition in the people who gave them birth.
The first mention made of German music is in the writings of Tacitus, in which he speaks of the Germans advancing to battle, singing their war-songs.
Previous to his time, German composers of opera had been more or less under Italian and French influence, and had striven to produce works whose chief object was to form an agreeable entertainment appealing to the senses rather than to the intellect.

 Academic fencing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The participants, or Paukanten, use heavy sharp sabres, the so-called Mensurschläger (or simply Schläger; the plural form is identical to the singular form) and are thoroughly protected by a chainmail shirt and gauntlets, padding on the throat and right arm, and steel goggles with a nose guard.
The scar resulting from a hit is called a Schmiss (German for a "smite"), or Renommierschmiss (bragging scar), and was regarded as a badge of honor: a form of ritual scarification up to the first half of the 20th century.
Academic fencing in Germany was temporarily abolished, along with Studentenverbindungen, during the Third Reich, but today it is still practised by traditional corporations of the German Student Corps.

 AMPP: German Socialism
Until 1942, few Germans — or Italians, for that matter — imagined that the ruling regimes would be overthrown, or be replaced by a democratic system that would judge many of the actions they considered loyal, patriotic, or simply getting on with their job, as unacceptable support for a criminal regime.
And as the German economy plunges further into a recession that is largely of its own making, as even German economists begin to notice the disturbing parallels between the economies of 2002 and 1932, the question remains as to how long it will be before the Germans let their inner Nazis manifest themselves in public.
German archives, including those of the Reichsbank, clearly indicate that the Nazis had consistently re-smelted and exported, with a pre-war date stamp, both former looted gold bars from other central banks and the gold channelled to it from the extermination camps.
