Letters Transcribed from the German
By Tim Baxter

I am not sure I agree with Matthew Caulfield that the "Letters from the
German" don't show themselves to be bogus pretty quickly.  They speak
of "von Bismarck's advisors" as planning WW1 (as if Bismarck were the
Kaiser; he was Chancellor), and at any rate Bismarck died in 1898, long
before WW1.

Yet Matthew's point is still well-taken because people are very
careless when grabbing "research" from the Internet.   It would be
advisable for Robbie and Jodie to at the very least put some prominent
caveats on this article, if it stays in the MMD archives.  A case could
be made for deleting it from the archives altogether to avoid any
possible confusion.
