As a card-carrying Anglo-Saxon (with a little Gallo-Romano-Frank mixed in,
and some Irish, and some Norse, some Brito-Celt, and then there was the
"servant girl" from Barbados whom the eighteenth-century sea captain
married and brought back to Maine) let me point out that Prussians like
Kant, Hegel, and Herder were *not* Anglo-Saxon: The Angles and Saxons who
didn't wind up in England were wiped out by Charles le Magne in his
genocidal conquest of Old Saxony. The Prussians were not even Allemanni,
Frank, Lombard, or Goth. They were, in the opinion of Konrad Adenauer (who
is supposed to have said that a Prussian is a Pole who has forgotten who
his grandfather was) at least, most likely to be Slavs...
