    But again, the German Anthem literally starts with “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!” and you see the national team sing it every time they play. That’s why i can’t understand how it can be illegal to say in Germany when it is literally the opening stanza of their national anthem.

      How the fuck do you manage to be so confidently wrong when everyone tells you you’re wrong, and a single Google Search would prove that. The anthem starts with “Unity and right and freedom”.

      This is the national anthem, translated:


      Unity and right and freedom For the German fatherland! Let us all pursue this purpose Fraternally with heart and hand! Unity and right and freedom Are the pledge of happiness; |:Flourish in this blessing’s glory, Flourish, German fatherland!:|

      Das stimmt nicht. Es wird die erste Strophe NICHT gesungen.

      You are wrong.

        Yes, you’ll have to forgive me for not realizing the German national anthem no longer uses the only line of the song that the English speaking world actually knows. And literally every link when you search “Deutschland über alles” says “German National Anthem”

        I see now that it isn’t actually the anthem anymore, just a partt
