2. Teddy cited his mother for teaching them that -

quoting the Bible, she drummed that into their heads.

Of course, their father's mad political ambitions - which were dashed for himself when he screwed up the Hitler thing - didn't hurt, either.

Got two of them murdered, and the baby lived on in a difficult life to become a legend. Funny how those things work out.
