The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Admiral Eduard von Capelle(pictured) was responsible for writing the legislation that funded the
battleships of the German
High Seas Fleet before World War I?
When Adm. von Capelle was born, Celle was in the Kingdom of Hanover. The German Empire was founded in 1871. Prior to that, Celle was, as I mentioned, in the independent Kingdom of Hanover, ruled by the
Hanoverian line. Admittedly, there was the
German Confederation, but that was just a loose confederation, by no means a nation, let alone an empire. Hence, in accordance with the "be brave" rule, I changed his country of birth from "German Empire" to "Kingdom of Hanover".
