- Vladimir Putin also finds it impossible to find any fault with Russia in starting that war;
- Reports show that armed troops of both France and Russia crossed the border into Germany on August 2, the day before Wilhelm II declared war on France;
- NPD organizers of the Bad Nenndorf Memorial March want a plaque at the site. near Stuttgart. to commemorate the Germans tortured there by the British;
