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:
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.”
—Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
