| | A tug-of-war not only between continents but ... | Erklärung:
... between the Wilhelmine German empire and the Republic of Berlin, as it was then called.
"Wechselspiel" = "tug-of-war" is metaphorical but perhaps captures the meaning better than "interplay"; can't tell from the limited context.
"Wilhelminian" or "Wilhelmine," take your choice. It's such an ugly word that I prefer the shorter variant :-)

Regarding \"aktuellen sogenannten\": I took this to be bad writing that meant \"aktuell sogenannten,\" i.e. as it was called at the time. Janfri\'s answer takes the writing at face value and translates it as \"so-called Republic of Berlin of today.\" Does anyone know the answer to this? Is Berlin still referred to as a republic, or was it called one back then? |
