Feverish salutes in the shadows.... "Gruss Gott, genosse!" Was it alive? Did the revolution live? What was happening in the empty streets? Who was shooting? And the armies of Hoffmann? Gruss Gott, genosse. Under Rupprecht the armies had lain four years in the trenches.
Two abreast, three abreast, in broken strings of men. Groups, solitary figures, hatless, bellowing. The revolution was moving. The empty streets filled. An army? A handful? Let God show in the morning. Workingmen with guns were running through the night. Munich was shaking.... "Der Banhoff, genosse, vorwaerts!" The revolution was emptying itself into the great square fronting the station.
Ramsay Macdonald referred to as Genosse Ramsay Macdonald, which means that he is considered a full member of the brotherhood.

Now twenty kilometers away and coming down the highroad against Munich against the drifting little clusters of lonely men whispering in the shadows the great armies of the Kaiser, an iron monster clicking down the road toward Munich. Would there be artillery to meet them? Gruss Gott, genosse, wer shusst dort? No, they had only guns, old guns that might not shoot.
Great armies, swinging along like a single man, that had once battered their way almost into Paris against the English, against the French. "Gruss Gott, genosse. Hoffmann kommt ... Ja wohl, Gruss Gott!"
