Engagement German

To put this into context, in the Battle of the River Plate, the first major sea battle of the Second World War and very widely published, the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spec fought a bloody battle with three Allied cruisers, the Achilles, Ajax and Exeter over three days in December 1939. The total casualties in this engagement, German and British were 109. Indeed for the first three months of the Second World War, more civihans were killed in the UK through black-out accidents than service personnel died on active service. 

Herman Presser was indicted for violating this statute as part of a German-American social and military society called the Lehr und Wehr Verein ( Education and Defense Society ). The group was incorporated under Illinois law with the stated purpose of improving the mental and bodily condition of its members so as to qualify them for the duties of citizens of a republic. In December 1879, the group, led by Presser, engaged in a march and drill, armed with rifles, without the required license from the governor. 

Clausius was an ardent nationalist and patriot. In the Franco-German war of 1870, he took leave of his university duties to enlist (nearing age 50 ) for duties at the front, earning the Iron Cross in 1871. He commanded an ambulance corps of students recmited from Bonn that removed wounded soldiers from front-line action. In one of these engagements, he suffered a leg injury that left him disabled and in pain for life. His passionate advocacy of Germanic culture later led to unfortunate disputes with Thomson, Tait, Maxwell, and others over personal or nationalistic priority for the mechanical theory of heat, the first law, and other discoveries.
