Their use of German should have been your first clue.

It was a German genealogy group, though mostly full of 'mercans.

Given the topic of the group how did you get into a big bust-up

I have Prussians in the family, that's the worst kind... little wind-up Germans.

My MIL was from East Prussia.

My guys farmed near Gdansk, moved to Russia in the 1830's, then Canada a couple of hundred years later when the reds ran them off.
Edit to admit that it may have been somewhat less than 200 years...

Some dodgy maths going on there

Was never my strong suit.
Those generalisations about Prussians are over-rated too, they are a lot more fun than they look like in pictures.

So on a slightly related subject, the last time I came back from UK, I brought some of my Dad's books back. He was very into military history, so lots of books about World War II. Anyway, when I got back home, I stacked the books up on the floor in front of the bookcases. Soon after our property manager comes round with some German friends who were thinking of buying the house we rent. It was only after they had left that I noticed that all the books on the top of the piles were about the Third Reich and had great big red swastikas on the covers. They haven't been back....
