Moreover, the new German Navy was acclaimed as a necessary means to the triumph of German Kultur throughout the world.
Much of it was in ancient days fenland, with, long before the dawn of history, at least one spot which was a great civilising centre of England, and even maybe of Europe, from the abundance and the quality of the flints here skilfully worked into implements.
