“At one interview a reporter told Diesel that the German Imperial General
Staff had recently embedded personnel with the Ringling Brothers Circus in
order to study how the circus provisioned and mobilized such a large
operation across distances. Diesel responded that the “Imperial German
Staff would do better in circuses than anywhere else.”
Later writings of Eugen Diesel illuminate Rudolf’s negative feelings toward
Germany during these years. “Many were the journeys we took together on
which [Rudolf] would teach me to observe the characteristics of the
different nations; the problem of Germany was a continual source of both
interest and anxiety to him.” Rudolf and his son observed of the
turn-of-the-century Germans, “The military manners and bearing permeate the
people, so that even the civilian learnt to click his heels together and
bow with the requisite stiffness. The conversational tone became loud and
brusque; arrogance and ostentation were to be met with everywhere. Life
took on the blaring pomposity of a military march.”
In an eerie foreshadowing of Germany’s fate years later under Nazi rule,
Eugen continued, “The military spirit often usurped the place of the
political”
