Today’s episode is all about an *interesting* duel between two Prussian politicians. On one side, Otto Von Bismarck, praised as the visionary behind uniting Germany and a hero among German nationalists. One the other, Rudolf Virchow, a talented scientist-turned-progressive political figure who discovered Leukemia and whose work on parasitic worms influenced the practice of meat inspection. The weapon of choice for the duel? A lowly German sausage. Why are they dueling? Why are they using a sausage? How does that even work?!?
