~ Wir Deutschen fürchten Gott ~
These are famous quotes of Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) who was General Field Marshall for Prussia in the "Franco Prussian War" that unified and formed Germany in 1871. The second phrase was much later turned around and used by Adolph Hitler as "Sieg Heil" (Hail Victory). This impressive glass stein is from about 1900.
Wir Deutschen fürchten Gott sonst nichts auf der Welt. Heil und Sieg	We Germans fear God, but nothing in the world. Health and Victory
