   Always ready to save Europe, You’re welcome kings.

9. So we’re just ignoring the witchburnings in Denmark and Sweden? Oh we are?

   Okay then. Zero it is.

10. In Sweden 400 was executed until 1750. So 0 is wrong.

11. Christ, when the Germans go for something they really go for it.

12. Sweden absolutely had witch burnings! 300 executed at least. However in the nordics just as many men were prosecuted for trolldom/sorcery and burned at the stake.

13. Recommend this lovely night-time read:

15. We didn’t kill people for being witches, but we did kill them for being changelings. And pretty recently too:

16. Well it worked. I don’t see witches here any more. Common German win 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

17. I acquired this particular witchskin hat from a Bavarian hexenbrenner. As I drained the blood from him, he said “take my hat, it’s cuuuuuuuuu-”

    And I thought, yes, it is cool! Free hat!

18. You don’t want to tangle with German muggles, Harry…

19. What are the sources of this bullshit map? Sweden executed hundreds of “witches”

20. The Salzburg Zauberbubenprozesse alone had almost 150 victims and there were around 1000 death sentences for witchcraft within the borders of today’s Austria. But I guess because it wasn’t Austria at that time, the numbers were added to Germany, like a lot of other cases, because Germany is the HRE somehow.

    So I guess Salzburg born Mozart is German after all.

21. Switzerland is wild, I mean it’s tiny and only a few people living there. Did they burn half of their population during this time?

22. Plot twist, most places were ruled by witches!

23. Well this is wrong.

24. Most of these countries didn’t have the same borders as we have today. https://youtu.be/k-2zaOhYlAM

25. “Anyone who speaks English is a witch 🪵🔥”

    Germans: 🧨🧨🧨

26. We were busy hunting gamusinos so effectively that you can barely find one nowadays

27. Nobody expect the Spanish Inquisition

28. Looks like they expected the Spanish Inquisition?

29. Not so Fun fact: The last Ever “Witch” Execution took place in Switzerland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_G%C3%B6ldi
