I had "remembered" that Rommel, the famous general had been raised in a region known for its pacifism. And viola! I had a mini essay about Thuringia.
However, in composing the "essay" I concluded that I was mistaken about Rommel (he was from Wurrtemberg - clear the other side of Bavaria). Yet I could have sworn that he was from Saxony or had ties to that central region. So, this part I will keep secret lest the veneer of my mystic tarnish.

Ok. I guess my next question is where did you learn where the word "kindergarten" came from? I mean, I've never thought to search something like that out, and if I had, I'd probly only remember that it was German. See where I am coming from?
