These are real quotes from the Realpolitik man himself
dang Otto 💀what a burn
Not worth the bones of a grenadier…
Now where have I heard that before.
Actually, the second one was in respect to Balkans conflicts. He knew what he was talking about.
Another famous quote: “He who knows how laws and sausages are made, can’t sleep well at night anymore”
If those shitty monarch incest families just listened to him and later Attatürk. The time line would be much better.
It’s crazy that they even had pomeranian grenadiers. Had no idea those little dogs could even throw grenades.
I already respected him, but I respected him infinitely more once I discovered how he ate.
>…Bismarck had developed a liking for good food and exquisite wine. His diet indeed was *extra*ordinary… At a time when he complained of a loss of appetite and a disordered digestive system, he could still partake at one meal a succession of soup, eels, cold meat, prawns, lobster, smoked meat, raw ham, roast meat, and pudding. When his doctors ordered an invalid diet, he was content to have nothing but soup, a plump trout, some roast veal, and three large seagulls’ eggs, washed down by abundant droughts of Burgundy. **At one time he lived entirely on trout or herrings and beer.** In 1870, during the campaign of the Franco Prussian War, he served omelettes with mushrooms, pheasant and sauerkraut, turtle soup, a wild boar’s head, and a compote of raspberry jelly.
>On the frontlines while approaching Paris, he entertained a regiment with a sumptuous dinner of sardines, caviar, various kinds of wurst, boiled beef and macaroni, boiled mutton, then ending the dinner with cheese, fresh butter, and fruit. An observer of his dietary habits reported that **“he ate until the walls burst”**—roast beef or beef steak with potatoes, cold roast, venison, fried pudding, and desert. He drank wine with every meal, even at breakfast, along with milk and lemon water, and beer or sparkling wine during his afternoon. In the wine cellars in France he once tried mixing a dozen different vintages of wine then proceeded “to mix various liquors in the most outrageous manner.” He ate a great deal of caviar to promote thirst, since **he believed he could sleep only after drinking a goodly amount of beer.** He had been a chain smoker of cigarettes from morning to night; later he switched to cigars. **At the Congress of Berlin, while presiding over the division of Africa by the colonial powers, he ate pickled herrings with two hands.**
