No problem, and, I agree, Grant's Companion to V. does
leave a lot of room in its proverbial margins.  Which
is why I let loose with my own annotations here from
time to time.  Just wanted to emphasize that that
sequence of people, places, events Weissmann namedrops
is indicative of a certain alignment, and that the
apparently offhanded manner in which he does it might
well refect that fascist aesthticization of politics. 
The Treaty of Versailles and the Weimar Republic are
merely the apst and present here, but it's that
fascist and Nazi future that is most darkly
foreshadowed here.  This should not be deemphasized
...
