This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Hello Dietzsch,
please be pedantic, after all for a German in Holland to learn Dutch-spelling through a Dutch in Germany by corresponding in English via Internet, I mean how much more European can we get.
As far as my modest knowledge of history has it, all (continental) European kings at the end of the nineteenth century at the latest were ripped off their autonomous rule making powers; in the Netherlands in a High Court ruling in the Meerenburg case of 1879, followed by the revision of the Constitution in 1887. Our friends in the UK imlemented this idea of parliament being the only body with legaslative power hundreds of years earlier and kings refusing or failing to recognise this power, if bad came to worse just had their heads chopped off, admittingly a rather drastic but effective solution.
The only governmental power left to the kings (or head of states) was signing a law into effect or not if they had any objections. In other words had H come to whoever was king in the Weimarer Republoc in 1935, the Nuremberg-laws under his arm ready for signature, he would most likely had told him, why don't you just get lost. But that's just like Goethe said "Grau teurer Freund ist alle Theorie...."
Sincerely Yours
