At the Battle of Waterloo, Wellington is said to have prayed “I wish it were night, or the Prussians were coming” During the Chinese Boxer uprisings, the British are reported to have issued—at a moment of high peril for the international expeditionary forces—the order “The Germans to the Front” Of such unproven legends grows contemporary chauvinistic folklore
- This writer remembers, from the perspective of a ten-year old in Berlin, some radio or newspaper reports of action against brave, “baumlange” (giant size, literally tree-long) Canadians.

- This writer has failed to find any substantiation of this view in any other source.
- Ibid. The implications of this last snippet of a comment are startling indeed. This writer has not found any substantial reference to such possibility of Soviet blackmail of the Western Allies during the Second World War, although rumours of Soviet feelers for separate peace with Germany in 1942 exist.
