Khon Kaen Dave Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 naam No, of course they didn't, but then again they didn't carry out Ethnic cleansing, or build concentration camps, and gas chambers, or rob country's of their art or jewellery or homes.Neither did they let people like Josef Mengler(my spelling)run riot and transfusing petrol into adults and kids,in place of their blood, or cutting open twins just to see what made them look alike. You disappoint me by using a rationale, which is totally inappropriate. And you use dogs as a comparison? What sort of human being are you.He wasn't a good guy. Unless you can come up with something more sensible,i suggest that this topic is closed between me and you.

daveAustin Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 4 hours ago, Naam said: it's not "the Germans" who get all hot over a non-event. it's just a few stupid politicians who behave in a ridiculous way. every true German resents that our national anthem was "circumcised" by the order of the allied victorious nations. The article alludes to normal Germans so I assume most get bent out of shape because of trivial stuff like this. I don't think much of the rest of the world gives a flying one today so little need in having to be so uptight about it anymore. I wonder is Trump had a hand in it, though.

Half of all Americans have never ventured outside their country and probably couldn't pick out Germany on a map. 135, 576 of them lie buried in Europe. They ventured outside of their country, and died liberating Europe. Very self absorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 As another commenter said, this song was written in the 1800s, so if Germans are only singing the last verse, too bad for them. They could learn that the anthem is good all, the way through, just do not forget their past with the Nazis within. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans getting all hot under the collar about trivial stuff like this is a classic indicator of why their country is going the way it is. They should be proud and not let themselves feel guilty and be brainwashed. What? If Germany has erred it has been on the side of compassion and caring. Critics of the German response to the influx of migrants do not understand that it was impossible to secure the German borders. The migrants were being pushed, encouraged to move towards Germany by its neighbours. Germany is not surrounded by barbed wire. Short of machine gunning people, there was nothing Germany could do. The failure to recognize the current national anthem is not trivial. It is like playing the Confederate National Anthem at a sporting event in the USA. It might make some northern bigots happy because of the pain it caused others, but Americans who knew their history would be dismayed. Would you encourage the playing of an Orange Lodge marching song at an event to honour a delegation of MPs from Ireland? It's basic courtesy to have the right anthem played.

dick dasterdly Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Reminds me of a Robbie Williams anecdote that he started singing Deutschland, Deutschland etc. because he wanted to show appreciation to the German audience - only to be booed as he didn't realise it was the Nazi song . Obviously I've no idea whether his anecdote is true or not, but as the comedian on the same programme pointed out - it would have been far worse if the reaction had been 'Finally, a leader!'. I feel sorry for Germans that after all these decades they still take their forebears sins as their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
