  2. Hirsch, “The Intellectuals’ Revolution, 1848”, Current History: “Had not Hitler and his associates blindly accepted the legend which latter-day liberals, German and foreign, had spun around 1848, they might well have found a great deal to extol in the deutsche Männer und Freunde of the Frankfort Assembly.”.
