Great blog... I'll book mark it to find out the next installment. I was in Berlin last week and the Brandenberger Tor has a statue of a Quadriga chariot on top, It was something the tribes of Germananica used against Rome... and Napoleon nicked this statue of it... and took it to Paris. But then the Prussians stole it back... during the following war... they just kept having wars.
