aus: Richard Blanke "Polish-speaking Germans?, Language and National Identity
among the Masurians since 1871", B�hlau-Verlag, 2001:
"An 1878 report by a (less sympathetic) Prussian official included the following
assessment of Masurian mores:
"The sexual drive is looked upon almost everywhere as a compulsive force of
nature. Thus the women - married as well as unmarried - are all too easily
accessible to the lusts of the men, and not seldom take the initiative...There
is also no lack of unintentional injuries with fatal results
due to the frequent brawls and prevelant alcoholism."
