Hiler was smart..the USA is stupid.........get rid of the niggers and the Mexicans,,,,,,,,,,,,,and you will have an awesome white country.......but they never will nigger Obama wont let it happen!
by the way, the "original sawastika" is a tibetitean symbol, of power and long life if im not mistaken...hitler just swiped it...and reversed the image...
reguardless, death in june had nothing to do with nazism...
Never ever have I heard so many good songs from one band/musician! Every song is amazing, the lyrics are incredible. I fell even more in love when I found out that the singer is openly gay! It sort of appeals even more.
Will never forget that I missed their show at the Bluebird in Denver 2003-12-19.. I bought a ticket and everything. However, was wrongly accused of something I did not do, seized and locked away for weeks under the assumption that I was "insane". Most traumatic time of my life.
The title of the song is a reference to 'Himmelstrasse' - the 'road to heaven' in Sobibor extermination camp. It was a passageway that to led to the gas chambers which was given the title by cynical nazis gaurds.
And to think that there actually are people who insist on this song to be about idolizing the madness of the Nazis' concentration camps, neither did these people probably pay attention to the song's lyrics nor do they themselves probably have any respect or sense of piety for the dead of these dark years of Europe.
Our civilization is dying so who fucking hypocritic is still moaning about pics of swastika? THe biggest Holocaust ever is white self-genocide organized and manupulated by Jews!
yeah if anyone thinks DI6 were into Nazi-isms, also realize that Douglas P is very homosexual. Last time I checked Nazi's dont really like homosexuals. Unless you count Hitler, the biggest faggot of them all.
people are terrified that they're crypto-fascists or something if they just happen to like a creator of any kind who doesn't completely share their politics. it's ridiculous.
If you want to read more on the subject, check my short article and interview with the Swedish DIJ cover band Down in June on my blog Swing Heil, Friedrich!
it is always the same on youtube nobody is able to enjoy the great Music, because there are 99% stupid comments (and this is treu for pro and anti-Nazi blah) .. Big Yawn
To call DiJ Nazis is a fuckin' Joke.. 1. Pearce played in a punk band called Crisis an they where againts nationalsozialism and where called Left-wing fascisms. 2. Pearce is Homosexual.. so he wouldn't make a good nazi hum? -.-
But "good nazi" is somehow.. just wrong. He was a good human being, he turned against hitler.. read some qoutes of him. and you'll see not all "Nazis" where bad and mindless, some just had no joice anymore.... Staufenberg & Röhm for example..
He turned against hitler for power reasons. He was a nazi too, antisemithic, anticommunist and undemocratic. I don't wanna talk about his goodness or evilness, because he was a human being.
XIV - I think that when stauffenberg and rohm were in so called elite of nazi machine there was not many good people left alive. You now what I mean, how u can tolerate the shit around and stay a good human being. Anyway Stauffenberg was a deep racist he write to his wife: "those people (Poles) are mobs, most of them are jews and mixed races. Those people feels good only under the whip. Thousands of POWs will be our slaves"
The whole thing is so charged that a lot of people make the mistake of assuming that everyone in the Nazi party were monstrous supervillains... Giving credence to the idea that they were human, not demons, requires people to think.
Phallacy that the birds don't sing in Auschwitz, the seagulls are making a camp there so the muslims can nest and procreate and face their death in a dignified manner.
The photographs are of Treblinka the so-called "death camp" that was actually a de-lousing station on the raillroad. No mass graves, no ash pits, no building foundations. Nothing but pure Soviet propaganda.
Aerial reconnaissance photographs taken in 1944 of the Treblinka "death camp" site -- and forgotten for almost 45 years in the National Archives in Washington, DC -- cast serious doubts on the widely accepted story that it was a mass extermination center.
Even Motörhead had a swastika (an old symbol for the sun, seen on matchboxes all over India...) on their first album some 32 years ago, and who would call them nazis?
Heaven Street is one of the spookiest songs ever, yet it gives me goosebumps, 'cause I love it. I always did, and I think I have like three different versions on LP, 7" single and cassette (live).
Lemmy's flat in LA is full of Nazi memoribilia, not saying He's a Nazi,allot of people have used the Swastika as a shock tactic and it worked now it's just a sick joke but still grabs peoples attention.
Listening to DiJ, Current 93, Nurse with Wound, Muslimgauze, Lustmord and such in the early 80s in Sweden, I felt kind of alone...these were times without internet, without universal knowledge.
Was DiJ glorifying the SS, nazis, the Holocaust...or did they just provoke with symbols from that era, actually writing anti fascist songs?
Once DiJ was the most political correct punk band of the UK. Situatied in the trotzkist parties, an ideology which emphasizes that the world would be another, if Trotzky wasn't killed by Stalin, they suddenly took on Nazi uniforms and called Death In June. It is somehow clear that they tried to attack the radical left from within. But this tactic can be dangerous. Wakeford eventually joined the National Party.
Most songs from the 80s tell in reality from the frustration in the radical left. But I found a break in the album "what ends when the symbols shatte". While all pre-work is dark and desperate, all music from this time are affirmative. I believe this is a result from '89 and the end of the radical left. Pierce had lost his reason to make music and realigned. Now to real nationalism (Croatia) and the Right in the darkwave culture.

if anything fucking with the nazi wannabeez...like Laibach...those euro-jarheads just don't get it and prefer a leader rather than follow their own mind. they obviously don't have one. or they leased it for 99 years....
You utter numpties. DIJ are so riddled with nazi connections from names, symbols, contacts visits its laughable that you can't see it. Doug P idolises Ernst Roehm and their lifestyles and beliefs are similar. Suggest you do some homework boys.
that's one point i think douglas misunderstood the role of the SA, when he really thinks they had a chance to stop hitler and change history (there's not even an evidence they planned to do this).
i am not sure, i think tony wakeford said this in the early death in june-years.
and as i said, there isn't always one point of view on names and symbols. look at joy division, they also provoked with similar things.
you can call me an naive idiot and things like that, but i think there are enough points for me to see death in june not as nazi-band (like supporting israel and so on)
I have to agree with the darker - part, thats the reason why I like Calling (mkII) more than the original. But for some reason i prefer the first version of this song. But we have to agree this: Death In June is great.
i don't remember where he/they used swastikas (except the cover of the "sun dogs" ep). and even then, the swastika is an ancient symbol and he is also interested in norse mythology as far as i know. he also uses runes, not in political connection.
the most controveral symbol he uses is the modified ss death's head. he took this symbol because it has an easy meaning. the sign stands for total commitment, the death's head means death, and the six under it means the sixth month
Yeah, I read that on some websites. But like, from so many symbols to choose, he could've chosen a different one than the head and the whipping hand, lol. At least it's my opinion.
However, their music is great, whatever symbols they use.
i know what you mean. but he never thought about use other symbols. even death in june would be more (or less?) popular when they never used such symbols, and hadn't ambiguous lyrics.
that's also commitment to his art, he doesn't really care what other people say he should do. ^^ and i think that's okay, he wants people to think about it
