All of them ? And not all people with that look are psychopaths . And not all psychopaths do antisocial things . <| sep |> The last German Emperor , Wilhelm II , was practically exiled to the Netherlands after WWI , and he spent the rest of his life there . Wilhelm II died in mid 1941 and was given a small military funeral by a small detachment of the German Army which had essentially been guarding him against the will of Hitler , mind you , who became rather pissy after hearing of it . Wilhelm II played practically no role in WWII . He was , however , a bit kooky because when Germany was successful during the early stages of the war he took credit for it and thought that he would somehow get back the throne . On one occasion , after Nazi victory in the Netherlands , he wrote a letter to Hitler that read Congratulations you have won using my army ! In another occasion he wrote to Hitler congratulating him for the victory and hoping that Hitler would restore the monarchy . His hopes to restore the monarchy , by the way , was absolute lunacy there is a , perhaps , anachronistic story that upon reading this letter Hitler had turned to one of his aides and said something along the lines of , What an idiot ! Hitler , and Nazism as an ideology , was staunchly antiMonarchy . In fact , he , as well as Nazi ideology as a whole , put a great deal of the blame for losing WWI on the royal family and the German monarchy . Kaiser Wilhelm II refused an offer by Churchill to flee to Great Britain and escape the Nazis because , in part , he didn ' t like the British as he felt them too liberal and indulgent in evils , as well as that Britain was ruled and manipulated by evil Jews . So he stayed in the occupied Netherlands where Hitler had a detachment of Wehrmacht soldiers serve as essentially bodyguards to both protect him and keep people . Hitler , of course , didn ' t like the exKaiser , but couldn ' t really justify or get away with killing a huge symbol of the German Empire and the Imperial German era , so it was more politically expedient to pretty much just isolate him by guarding him where he lived . He died about a year later in mid 1941 , and , well , I ' ve covered this already PBeyond this , the members of the royal family didn ' t do much . I know that a few of them fought in the war one of Wilhelm ' s sons and eight of his grandsons for the Germans . He even bragged about , in one occasion in 1939 , after the Nazi victory against Poland , he wrote to Hitler through his , the Wilhelm II ' s , adjutant about the House of Hozenhollern had remained loyal to Germany and the aforementioned Prussian princes were fighting for Germany at the front , and some of them would die in it such as his grandson , prince Oskar . Others would be involved in Nazi Germany in differing ways e . g . Wilhelm ' s son , prince Oskar , the father of the aforementioned prince Oskar , was in the SA . Perhaps the most interesting of Wilhelm ' s issue during this time period is his son , Crown Prince Wilhelm , who stayed in Germany . Late in the war when plans to replace Hitler were being floated by certain wings of the military and diplomatic service , he was approached by them with the proposal to replace Hitler and bring back the monarchy , but he turned them down . After the failed assassination attempt in 1944 he ended up under watch by the Gestapo .
