Pomembne so mu bile vezi s Poljsko, saj je bila njegova mama Maria (r. Neugebauer, 1898-1978) iz Lubawke/Liebau v Šleziji, ki je po drugi svetovni vojni pripadla Poljski. Po stricu je podedoval numizmatično zbirko poljskih novcev, med njimi tudi tiste, ki so jih v 19. Zato je razumljivo, da se je v odrasli dobi začel učiti od vseh slovanskih jezikov prav poljščino, da se je ukvaijal tudi s poljsko zgodovino in vprašanji denarništva. 1966 je bil med ustanovitelji numizmatičnega društva v Giessnu, kjer je preživel svoje profesorsko obdobje na Historičnem inštitutu (1965-1985) in imel tudi pozneje miren dom vse do umika v dom za starostnike v Uttenreuthu pri Erlangenu leta 2013. Bil je med tistimi najstniki, ki so jih sicer navdušili Hitlerjevi govori, vojna leta, ki so temu sledila, pa prepričala o uničevalnosti nacionalizmov. Sam je svoja raziskovalna vprašanja oblikoval takole: »Kaj ostane od ljudstva (Volk) in naroda (Nation), ko človek izstopi iz preživetih ideoloških barv« Kako vzdržljiva je tradicionalna zgodovinska podoba »romansko-germanskega zahoda«, ki v najboljšem primeru pozna Slovane in druge Evropejce samo kot stranske figure« Kaj je s krščanstvom, ki so ga skušali odpraviti kot nearijsko (artfremd)« Kaj je z Judi, ki živijo že tisoč let dlje v Evropi kot Madžari, pa naj bi vanjo ne spadali in so jih celo preganjali«« Vprašanja kažejo Kahlovo načelno zoperstavljanje temu, kar je poslušal kot najstnik. Logičen zaključek tega je, da njegova žara počiva med koreninami...
According to local tradition, a huge Baba (hag, woman) lies in the Bohinj valley in northwest Slovenia. The authors of this essay decided to ascertain to what degree, if so at all, the circumstances ...in Babno polje (field of Baba; south Slovenia on the border with Croatia) resemble the ones in Bohinj. While the prostrate body of Baba is clearly discernible in Bohinj this has yet not been established for Babno Polje. However, the childbearing part of the afore-mentioned Baba, the spring Trbuhovica, is quite unambiguous. Topographically three areas of mythic events are suggested in Babno polje region: birth from Trbuhovica, marriage (Vragofka and Vražji vrtec), death (Miklavževa lokvica).
The Police village is situated in western Slovenia. Folklore and select characteristic toponyms communicate important spatial points. Their distribution demonstrates a well-considered arrangement of ...space, which may also be linked with the symbolic arrangement of the village region. The present day level of experience enables a comprehension dealing with spatial ideograms. The presented ideograms from the village Police are an expression of the age-old belief in three fundamental forces of nature (heaven-sun-fire, earth, water = tročan, the principle of a triad). The localities Roglca (=earth), Sv. Ivan in Šebrelje (=sun), and the Štribabe stones in Police (=water) compose the Major Tročan. The stones Štribabe in the middle of the Police field represent the Minor Tročan. A processional pathway enables a synthesis of the entire folklore, which until today remained preserved in mere fragments. They facilitate the reconstruction of two legends. The first clarifies the cycle of the seasons, while the second sets order to chaos in the instance of a natural disaster (drought, flood).
The authors present a structure of cult points in Prague which was used during the Early Middle Ages and till the 12th century partially destroyed as well as partly substituted during some churches. ...The structure was composed on the basis of astronomical and ritual principles. The former present a sun calendar, where the St.George’s feast day (23th April, one month after the spring equinox) denotes the beginning of the year. The latter principles led the authors to determine the use of a ritual angle, ritual measuring units and their multiples. The entire structure is thus also a well planned ideogram. It’s ideological core is the age-old belief in three fundamental forces of nature (heaven-sun-fire, earth, water), which humans help to maintain in balance by carrying out a series of ceremonial deeds. Constructing the landscape ideograms is one of them. The right time of ritual deed is of extreme importance. To match the time the elementary knowledge of astronomy was needed.
V izjemno dolgotrajni diskusiji o izvoru, času pojava in razvoju podkev avtor s pomočjo novih najdb sestavi trenutno najverjetnejšo razlago. Podkve so se razvile v 5. st. iz kopitnih natikačev ter se ...razširile najprej po rimskem in bizantinskem cesarstvu, nato pa še naprej. Kot oblika prehodnega trajanja se konec 10. st. pojavijo podkve z valovitim robom. Novosti, ki sta v uporabi še danes, so najkasneje sredi 11. st. ozobci in najkasneje konec 12. st. žlebovi za podkovske žeblje.

Simply put, the modern Slovenian nation began as a cultural project in the age of Enlightenment. Its basic axis has been Standard Slovenian as one of Slavic languages. The book describes from where ...the speakers of the initial common Slavic language arrived at our place, as well as where and when Slavs came into being. Throughout the history of long ages the author observes the relationship between the speakers of the language, political power, and particularly the Church as an institution with a universal ideology which as such does not in any way encourage local identity. The book also recalls the millennial roots of Slovenian identity whose present state is not a logical consequence of the past, much less the beginning of self-evident future. The author knows that the final image of the past is always created by the reader themself, therefore using challenging illustrations he constantly encourages them to think. The author also does not expect the reader to agree with him, but would like them to find some causal connections of their own and thus recover the lost memory of who they are.
