PC_Raemaekers_002Bernhardism - Oh, they’ll find excuses for me somehow. Apparently a reference to Friedrich Adam Julius von Bernhardi (22 November 1849 – 11 December 1930), a Prussian general and military historian. As a militarist, he is perhaps best known for his bellicose book “Deutschland und der Nächste Krieg” (Germany and the Next War), printed in 1911. Describing war as a "divine business", he proposed that Germany should pursue an aggressive stance and ignore treaties.
