Prussian? Only as long as Prussia=Third Reich. Which counts as a false info. Me thinks the image of Prussia having been nothing more than a past "rogue" nation only, is incomplete and misleading, at least this. they never were loved in past centuries, nevertheless when being needed to throw back Napoleon in the deciding moments and defend Europe'S freedom from French tyranny - they were there, and in strength, without compromise and with an unshaken sense of obligation. This also should be remembered before one is dooming them for the Third Reich abusing what in the widest sense could be called the Prussian heritage. the Nazis did that with many other symbols and values as well: from the meaning of work, over sense of duty, to the Swastika.
