"Father Strike"

Postby Guest » Sun Aug 03, 2003 12:53 am

Just what IS the "Father Strike?" I've looked all over the place and have found no reference as to what it might be. Might it be Zornhau?

Thanks,

B.

If I am not mistaken the Father strike is indeed Zornhau.

You are both correct. For confirmation, you might want to look at Joachim Meyer, page/plate XI r "Zornhauw".
E.g. at the Freifechter's site here .

Yes, Meyer speaks of the Zornhau as being called by the "Old Ones" as Vaterstreich. JH

Brandon -

Just out of curiosity... where did you see this term "Father Strike" used?
