The Guanche skulls as a whole are unlike those of modern European Mediterraneans, and resemble northern European series most closely, especially those in which a brachycephalic element is present, as in Burgundian and Alemanni series.oldschool anthropologydivided them into clearly differentiated types, which include a Mediterranean, a Nordic, a "Guanche," and an Alpine. The "Guanche" accounts for 50 per cent of the whole on the four islands of Teneriffe, Gomera, Gran Canaria, and Hierro; the Nordic for 31 per cent, the Mediterranean for 13 per cent, and the Alpine

Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture is one of the most epic pieces of classical music i've ever heard, a fitting tribute to Germanic Europe by the greatest of the Pan-Germanists.

I'm proud of my Minnesota German Ancestors who valiantly withstood the attacks of the Sioux, in the 1862 Battles of New Ulm. The people of the town took up their rifles to successfully defend their families, in similar fashion to some American Western Movies that show such things. Much of the town burned down, but the townspeople survived the battle (including my German Ancestors).
The Battles of New Ulm and Fort Ridgely were the "high watermark" and last gasp of the Sioux Offensive, in the Dakota Sioux War. My dad's mother's family came from Minnesota Germans with true grit. The Sioux simultaneously attacked the soldiers at Fort Ridgely, and the townspeople at New Ulm, but all of the defenders remained steadfast.
As the States of the North and South were stained with the blood of the American Civil War, my German American Ancestors were literally holding the fort with their families loading the rifles.

In certain pockets of Southern Brazil, cobbled streets and half-timbered houses appear among the Brazilian countryside. Meet the inhabitants of Pomerode, a small town which very much keeps alive the spirit of its 19th century German founders.
