Armchair Critic- Probably Foreign Affairs Advisor- all leaders bring in their own people. Sorry for not checking.

Indyvidual,

You have to look at the historical context in order to
try to understand.

For example King
Charles has a bloodline made up of German ancestors.
King Edward was traumatized by the murder of his
relatives - the Romanovs in Russia. Anti-communist
feelings were strong. The Nazis were out to win over
the British royals in those early days. Also when it came
down to the choice between communism and nazism - many people
chose nazism. . There's
more at the following link:

Most people today perhaps see German Nazi's in the context of death camps and Jews- something that wasn't an issue for external nations during WWII.

Or when British leaders were looking at whether German's should be allowed to re-occupy their traditional territories to the north. And whether they should enforce the recent provisions of the crippling Treaty of Versailles. As well as territory that the Russian's took from Lithuania during the late 1800's. Even today there are hang overs from WWI and WWII in Germany in regards to free speech and self determination and historical rights.

Interesting how perspectives can change quickly- but given that WWII was more than 75 years ago it's also interesting when perspectives don't change. You have to think "who makes these changes" and "who keeps them alive".

Virtually every culture tells a story about its
ancestry. Origin stories provide collective
accounts of where "we" come from. They also help
some lineages claim power over others.

The history of genealogy makes clear that stories
about ancestry can be instruments of exclusion but
where we come from can also be a privilege too.

Today, the study of genealogy is a very popular past time
for many people.

who keeps them alive".
Canem Malum,
Usually and, as has been amply demonstrated it’s the crowds of spoilt hangers-on !

Indyvidual,

Some people have a genuine fear of letting go.
They need a railing to hang on to, to feel
safe.
