I went to a school that was funded, founded and run by Jesuit German and Austrian missionary priests. That’s not to say we were going Heil Hitler, but, we certainly learnt German and were raised to have a die-hard love for football. In India, that can only be achieved by banning cricket in school, which was the case with St Vincent’s.
However, the school work ethic was, as they would say in German, fleisig, which translates into industriousness, but has a totally different feel to it in German. Which is why I totally get the German ban on short-shelling.
