# Talk:Eduard von Capelle

When Adm. von Capelle was born, Celle was in the Kingdom of Hanover.  The German Empire was founded in 1871.  Prior to that, Celle was, as I mentioned, in the independent Kingdom of Hanover, ruled by the Hanoverian line.  Admittedly, there was the German Confederation, but that was just a loose confederation, by no means a nation, let alone an empire.  Hence, in accordance with the "be brave" rule, I changed his country of birth from "German Empire" to "Kingdom of Hanover".

Ah, you're very right. I wasn't paying attention to the year when I wrote the article. Thanks for fixing this. Parsecboy (talk) 18:21, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
