    Hello everyone,

    William II. is well known for his blunders. One famous blunder was his "Hun" speech in 1900 when his impromptu address to German soldiers being transferred to China included "Mercy is not to be given, prisoners not to be taken". I'd like to know what kind of uniform did the emperor wear during his address?

    Here's a link to an article with a slideshow, I'd be thankful for the information.

    Thank you!

    I try to understand his mindset, too. That's why I am asking for the uniform, because it sometimes (I guess nearly always) chosen for the occasion. Perhaps there is a little bit of a hint hidden in there.
