Is his name really "Arnold" Schwarzenegger

[951-Riverside]

"Arnold" doesnt seem like a common german name. *shrug*

[MissHoneychurch]

1. He is Austrian

NOT German :P

That explains a lot.

[Robeson]

2. That didn't matter to....

...Franz von Papen. He was a good German, uh, Austrian, uh, whatever.....;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Same as Hitler

he was Austrian as well. I still don't understand to these days how he could have become German chancellor in the first place.

[Robeson]

5. I don't get it either, unless it was not a constitutional issue....

...plus he served in the German army in WWI, which he never stopped reminding people of. Nothing like bashing people with nationalism...

[MissHoneychurch]

6. I should know, shouldn't I?

After all, it is the history of my country :blush:

7. He used a trick to gain citizenship in 32

He gained a minor office in the (no longer existing) state of Brunswick, which came with citizenship (then, as today, citizenship was given by the states).

As to serving the German army: there was no "German" Army in WW1; Hitler joined the Bavarian army.

8. I still blame him on you.

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

9. It wasn't me who voted him into office

that is YOUR fault all alone .... :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Nein!

I didn't even vote in that election. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

11. See it IS your fault then

not voting is the same as voting. You didn't give the contrahent your voice, therefor Arnie had a better chance.

12. I tried to register, but it was too late.
