Wilhelm II. may have been one of the most foolish and disastrous leaders of all German history, but in his final years he showed some imperial grandeur and statesmanship by not bowing down to the nazis. He looked down on them as judeo-obsessive, crypto-communist thugs in league with the traitorous military administration of Hindenburg, and considered Hitler an illegitimate ursurper.
This may also serve to dispel the common historical narrative of a direct lineage of Prussian imperialism to NatSoc. The last Kaiser himself viewed NatSoc with disgust and as an overambitious road to a disastrous future for the fatherland. - Hitler's suppression of imperial celebrations and monuments should enhance this impression.
The Prussian tradition that led Germany to greatness in the first place and the short-lived fashion of National Socialism which squandered the country's power, heritage and heart cannot be reconciled.
