Theres a movie from 2016 called The Exception which dramatizes the latter years of Willhelms life in the Netherlands. Christopher Plummer plays him.
Movie was so-so, although Christopher Plummer was good (as he was in virtually every role he ever had. It certainly depicted the aging Kaiser in a somewhat sympathetic light.

Everything seems correct except one minor thing that annoys me. Wilhelm wasn't in charge anymore when Germany surrendered. The video doesn't state he is but from what's said people could easily make that conclusion if they don't know better. But besides that it's a great video and it's still worth to like!

Kaiser Wilhelm was actually a staunch Anglophobe. He blamed the birth defects he suffered from a botched delivery on his English decent. In fact when he suffered an injury due to his withered arm (The one he always rested on his sword) he said something along the lines of Curse this damn English blood

Mr Hohenzollern? You got another heavy box from someone.
Thank you, boy.
What's it about?
long sigh
I used to rule a people once.
And that's how we got Game of Thrones, but on a much less bloody scale (well until the Nazis took up full scale concentration camps.

I've become addicted to these videos. One thing I'm wondering is where did all these deposed/exiled world leaders get their money from after leaving their home countries? They seem to have lived pretty well despite being either reviled or controversial burdens.

Everyone should look up a movie about the last days of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm in the Netherlands. It's called The Exception and it stars Christopher Plummer and Lily James and, let's just say that fans of Ms James won't be disappointed!

Why is the Kaiser wearing orange? I checked a few sites, but I saw him wear orange. I could have missed it, or maybe it could have been his favorite color.

Nowadays, such a man responsible for so much misery would be paid a little visit by certain disgruntled parties, I'm thinking.
And rightly so.

Wilhelm should have invited Nicholas and his family to come and stay in his garage apartment. He would have saved their lives.

There was a WW2 US army general called Luke Leia? Wow, the WW2 references of George Lucas go much deeper than anyone expected.

Let's go back is a cry for change that many on the left have. Some even want humans to go back to being hunter gatherers.
