[gothic-l] Storm over Europe

[Bertil Haggman]

Experts are not always correct, especially those
who like to call themselves experts. What you
think is relevant literature is maybe not so relevant.

There is always a few views restricted to some
universities on all subjects. These often remain
obscure at these locations.

Brockhaus is not a world compass. As balance
it should be noted that a large number of encyclopedias
and atlases, for instance

_The Times Atlas of World History_
_Grosser Atlas zur Weltgeschichte_
_Historisk atlas_

don't share the view of Brockhaus.

An interesting fact in the first program of Storm over
Europe was the fact that the term "economic refugees"
was used for the Germanic peoples streaming southward.
The figure of economic refugee is thousands of years
old. A thorough research on this figure would be valuable
to get the global and world historic perspective.
