He also invented mission type tactics (Auftragstaktik) and he was probably the first German who ate and described a kebab.

He also got famous for taaaaaalking eeeeextreeeemlyy slow.

It takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish

That's why they went to middle English, and in turn that's where the saying "meeting in the middle" comes from.......that's total bullshit, but fuck all if I didn't at least try, lol.

He basically opened the floodgates for modern warfare

Kebab is now a big part of German culture

Would be great to hear an AI cleaned up version. Like when you see upscaled video from early 1900s. Transports you that much more.

Oh, it is quite clean already! And without all that noise it wouldn't feel as authentic, in my opinion. Not everything needs to be perfecto cleaned, especially when it's this old.

Indeed interesting.

Impressive dude, if you ever see a bio anywhere, grab it.

This is like listening to music through airline headphones

What about Au Clair de la Lune from 19601860?

Helmuth Von Moltke is older. Born in 1801

I see. It's about the person, not the recording of a human voice.

Telephone? Was that a term for a voice recorder back then?

I thought he repeated that sentence because he mistook “telephon” for “phonograph”. Lol

Dreamy Bull's voice!?

I find it interesting that someone born in 1801 speaks what I would call accent-less German, that many Germans today would still speak.

I bet an Englishman born in 1801 would sound quite different from modern Englishmen.
