I'm curious. Is this in any German rulebook? (I secretly want it to be).

The secret rule book was lost during WW1 which is why thinks went so out of hand afterwards.

(Sorry for the bad joke, but as a German the though that there is a secret rule book which was lost in WW1 had me rolling, I just have no idea why??)

Idk. but I feel that:

- State organs often act as if it's the case.

- Politicians often do some many (bad/wrong) assumptions hat I feel it would be better if it would be the case.

In the aftermath of WW1 the secret rule book was accidentally allowed to become too secret.
