:::In German history, there are two "Myths of the stab in the back." One dates from about the 7th century, the other dates from 1918. The one in 1918 was used to recall the earlier one from the 7th century. So before we assign the 1918 "myth of the stab in the back" as "the myth," we might have to clarify where "the myth" came from. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 11:31, 23 June 2007 (EDT)

::::It is fairly unambiguous what is meant by the "Dolchstosslegende", especially in connection with WWI. The Niebelungenlied is just a tangent. [[User:Order]] June 26 22:30

:The "Myth of the stab in the back" might be a lot deeper, but its name is "stab-in-the-back-myth" or "Dolchstosslegende". We should go by its name, not by the name we would like it to have. [[User:Order]] June 26 22:40
