In Popular Culture
Von Kluck's name was mentioned in a bawdy British army song, which in the original ran:
- "Kaiser Bill is feeling ill,
- The Crown Prince, he's gone barmy.
- We don't give a f*ck for old von Kluck
- And all his bleedin' army."
It was later reported styled in censored form, that is, in less offensive but wholly inaccurate language from an historical point of view.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“The best hopes of any community rest upon that class of its gifted young men who are not encumbered with large possessions.... I now speak of extensive scholarship and ripe culture in science and art.... It is not large possessions, it is large expectations, or rather large hopes, that stimulate the ambition of the young.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
