A Bismarck to join the German parliament

[Fenris]

LUEBECK - The German parliament is due to gain a deputy with one of the most prominent historical names in Germany when Carl-Eduard Graf von Bismarck takes a seat for the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

Carl-Eduard, 43, is a great-great grandson of Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), who as the "Iron Chancellor" was the driving force in the creation of the modern German state.

2. Joke if you may but Otto von Bismarck

Created Social Security and was a wise statesman. Wilhelm II undid his sensible alliances. What we need here is that famous cartoon called "Dropping the pilot." Which journastically depicts the Kaiser removing the one person who could seriously oppose him.
