... cord?

Imagine if they had Instagram and smartphones!

Between Facebook, Instagram, twitter, google, and Amazon, I'd say we are putting any past culture in the dust for the amount of records and recording being done.

Which reminds me, the word RECORD- etymology Verb- Middle English, literally, to recall, from Anglo-French recorder, from Latin recordari, from re- + cord-, cor heart — more at heart

Does 'cor' or 'cord' as related to heart and/or record have any resonance in German?

No trying to provoke a political discussion, by citing history, but we can see very well for ourselves, a minor version of what you reflect on, in modern terms, but both, ANTIFA, and other 'hate mongols' already present us a glimpse into what could happen, as they use the very tools you mention.

Since we refer to data collection and distribution, as 'Media', or A/V, should we also consider what the Greek and Latin Scholars, would have contributed to naming those formats or insterments?

By the way, cool etymology explanation!

All of this history is well reCORDED, and you have but look to find any aspect of that period.

You seem better informed than german historians.

Not only the National Socialist (the abbreviation Nazi tends to cloud its socialist character) but also the Communist socialist had their paramilitary groups in Germany at that time that engaged in street fights against each other. Uniforms seem to have been a political fashion during turbulent prewar period, from China and Japan in Asia to Germany, Italy and Spain in Europe. For a brief period, Communist youth groups in California even had uniforms. Among wartime leaders, Stalin and Churchill seemed to prefer military tunics while FDR and Chiang Kai-shek preferred capes.

Organized youth groups in that period were very much alike in appearance. Including even groups based on religion.
