| | The Kaiser's Heir: Prince Louis-Ferdinand of Prussia (1907-1994) |
| | As a grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Louis-Ferdinand was placed third in the line of succession behind his father, Crown Prince Friedrich-Wilhelm, and his elder brother Prince Wilhelm, born in 1906. | | | Prince Louis-Ferdinand of Prussia was the son of Crown Prince Friedrich-Wilhelm and Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, daughter of Grand Duke Friedrich-Franz III and Grand Duchess Anastasia, née Grand Duchess Anastasia Michaelovna of Russia. | | | Since Kaiser Wilhelm II died in 1941, the head of the Prussian imperial family was Crown Prince Friedrich-Wilhelm, but since he had flirted with the Nazis in the 1930's, conspirators ignored him and centered on Louis-Ferdinand to serve as Hitler's successor. |

| | On the death of Wilhelm I on March 9 1888, his father was crowned Emperor as Friedrich III but he was dying of throat cancer, and on 15th June of that same year Wilhelm II succeeded him as German Emperor and King of Prussia. | | | Wilhelm especially came to show great respect for Bethmann-Hollweg, acknowledging the latter's superior foresight in matters of internal governance, such as his reform of the Prussian electoral law. | | | Article 227 of the Treaty of Versailles expressly provided for the prosecution of Wilhelm "for a supreme offence against international morality and the sanctity of treaties", but Queen Wilhelmina refused to extradite him, despite appeals from the Allies. |

| | Germany's Last Kaiser - Wilhelm II and political decision-making in Imperial Germany |
| | Wilhelm, having fled Germany in November 1918, had been given refuge in the Netherlands and was able to stay there despite the allies' request of extradition. | | | The Prince, named Wilhelm, like his grandfather who was King of Prussia and would become German Emperor in 1871, was to rule Germany for 30 years, from 1888 until his abdication and flight to the Netherlands in November 1918. | | | After the war, the victorious allies were in no doubt that Wilhelm II was personally responsible for the coming of war in 1914, and they included him on their list of war criminals wanted in connection with the atrocities of the war and the suffering that it had brought to millions of soldiers and civilians. |

| | On 21 Jan. 1918, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany finally abdicated the throne in favor of his son, who became Wilhelm III (1918), but the succession was precipitated by a series of hunger demonstrations, illegal strikes and violent riots, forcing the police to shoot dead more than 100 people across Germany. | | | Realizing the untenable situation, Wilhelm, on 19 April offers the crown back to the Reichtag, declaring that only a popular vote would make him accept the German crown. | | | Germany, undergoing a political crisis, which dethroned the military camarilla under Hindenburg and Ludendorff, is represented by the liberal-Catholic Matthias Erzberger and Heinrich Brüning, a young army-volunteer of solid Catholic background. |

| | Dynamics of doctrine: the change in German tactical doctrine during the first world war |
| | Crown Prince Wilhelm's reaction to the defensive doctrine conveyed this feeling of ownership, for in the new doctrine he recognized ideas that had been forwarded to OHL from his army group, which "was the cause of great satisfaction to my Chief of Staff and myself." | | | The Germans were particularly well prepared, for they captured a set of orders that described Nivelle's plan (for Nivelle had confidently distributed his orders throughout the army), a document that contained, in the words of Crown Prince Wilhelm, "matter, of extraordinary value." | | | Germany was bearing the burden of the effort for the Central Powers, and the length of the struggle and the economic stagnation were seriously affecting German morale at home and in the army. |

| | An Introduction to The Royal Windsor Tapestry Manufactory, 1876-1890 - The Royal Windsor Web Site by Thamesweb |
| | Perhaps the first tapestry completed at Windsor bore the names of Michel Brignolas, the first Manager of the manufactory, and Henri C. Henry, the RWTM Director. | | | The long hoped for help from the Government in the form of the creation of a National Establishment (as in France) to make and repair fine tapestries for the nation's public buildings was not to become fact and after more than twelve years all those concerned must have lost heart. | | | He was succeeded as President by his brother, the Prince of Wales, who circulated a similar letter dated 22 May 1884 expressing a desire to second the efforts made by Prince Leopold, and inviting donations towards the Endowment Fund, orders for tapestries, and for the repair of old tapestries. |
