I deny the veracity of this statement and accuracy of its translation.
Is that official?
Mein Einwand ist gegen den Sprechtstil; Bismarck wäre wahrscheinlich nicht so umgangssprachlich gewesen.
Besides, I was one of those “officials” for long enough to know waaaaaaaaay too much about how “official denials” come to pass.
