“Whenever historians and social scientists talk about the military as a profession, they talk about Prussia, but this Prussia has the irritating quality of changing every time it is discussed.”
Michael Geyer, “The Past as Future: The German Officer Corps as Profession,” in German Professions, 1800-1950, ed. Geoffrey Cocks and Konrad H. Jarausch (New York: Oxford University Press, 1990), 183.
