For some reason the rest of my post didn't make it through the pipe. I won't bother reconstituting it.

GfS, you had not said that 'The Third Reich' refers to 'The Third Roman Empire'. Had you done so, I could have agreed with that.

You said: "Third Reich" means "Roman Empire". A different matter.

And I did read that long-winded cut and paste- it doesn't say what you say it says.
