Thats the slightly ridiculous parade of cobbled up kultur  that appears on TV progs about Nazis every 5 minutes .It was even on last night . Well it was the umteenth   repeat Family Guy or Himmler  trying to find an original Tacitus.I always wondered what the parade was  called .Thats certainly a great set regardless of its dodgy  origins.Turns out Tacitus got it right .
ps I bet auto translate  of this will be very interesting .

Simon Hoggett wrote a series of articles on the history and origin of these figures - Journals 79-83.
