(FILES) -- A file picture of a post card released by the Historial de Peronne, Museum of WWI, shows German Emperor and King of Prussia Wilhelm II (R) smiling to his cousin Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, Grand Duke of Finland, and titular King of Poland, some weeks prior to the Declaration of the First World War. The French caption reads: "Hypocritical Wilhelm II smiling to his cousin Nicholas II".
