Quite so. Ludendorff’s masterly handling of the war and the resultant German victory on the Western Front made him the ideal person to comment.

Ooops, have I accidentally insulted your great-great-grandfather? I grovel in self-abasing contrition.

Well given my great-grandfather(s) weren’t Douglas Haig or even any of his Corps Commanders, then no, not really.

Of course I doubt either of them or their various siblings who all served in the Great War would have been given to ventilating the words of an anti-semitic conspiracy theorist, whose own generalship was left wanting in the final wash up. A largely discredited trope the old lions lead by donkeys thing

But if it floats yer boat, more power to you old boy.

My lions in the model contain a certain amount of lead, of course, but I fail to see the relevance otherwise...
