the verses she sings are no longer sung in Germany as (a direct translation from what she is singing in this clip) it describes Germany's borders from the meuse to a river east of Poland and into Denmark. the historical significance in this clip is that when a country was invaded by germany the school children were forced to sing this song - this i know because it happened to people in my immediate family.
I watched this scene by chance while zapping. She was so good that even if I didn't know the plot I understood she was kind of protesting. Mindblowing!
Ah.. I've been reading the comments here for a while and I've got to say it's really sad that people are still trying to make Germans feel bad and responsible of their past, while they weren't even alive back then.
I'm sure their ancestors have always been saints. *sarcasm*
Im a german girl ;) and this anthem is forbidden here , we all shame for that what happend. i have seen this episode and think about our history . she sing that great but some words are not in my vocabulary :D but a great performens !!! the german speech is difficult ;)
let me clear this up for you: the melody itself was first used by the austrian empire which had lots of different ethnics combined under the austrian imperator. during the 19th century many germans wanted to unite all german-speaking countries, so they took the melody and created this antithesis to the habsburg multi-ethnic empire stating "deutschland uber alles", proposing to unite every german (which means every german-speaking man and woman) in one reich.
If the Germans had had some balls, they would have started singing the French national anthem after her performance, ending with the beautiful lyrics:
"Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!"
(More or less: 'may unpure blood be spilt on our fields.') What a beautiful French anthem...
@HerrWagnerfreund du schämst dich nicht dafür was war ??? hättest du keine blonden haare und keine blauen augen wärst du heute nicht mehr da,sich alleine die haare zu rasieren hilft da nichts,jedem das seine.
als kleiner tipp die halbe welt hasst deutschland,sicher nicht ohne grund,niemand ist vollkommen weder die franzosen noch die russen die frauen vergewaltigt haben,jedoch eines noch,napoleon trug rote kleidung damit seine armee nicht sah wenn er verletzt, die nazis trugen braune hosen...
I´m sorry for her to have to pass for that, i can imagine what she was thinking: " If i had a fucking gun i would kill those fucking german bastards!" XD
This IS the German National Hymn, Das Deutschlandlied. Only the last stanza is now sung in Germany. The "Deutschland Über Alles" part is not sung. It predates the Nazis, the Nazi Anthem was the Horst-Wessel-Lied, and was sung in prelude to this song.
Stanzas 1&2 offended neighboring countries as it describes Ger. geographically with areas that are no longer Ger.
Colette's story makes this scene. I was touched. While proud of my heritage, like most of the German Diaspora I am ashamed of Hitler.
The song she is singing, it's not the German anthem. The Germany that song is associated with is long dead; it was dead in the 60s and it is still dead. This is the proper anthem:
@epmorris2010 The anthem I quoted was the German anthem. The anthem she sang, it wasn't. It was an anthem sung by a bankrupt nation further perverted by criminals, representing a Germany that is long dead.
Even Major Kira on DS9 was able to...lighten...her hatred of Cardassians by the end of the first season.
@JustPhilNY It is the same tune. And THAT is the 3rd stanza of the anthem. This is in fact the anthem, and it is sad that the lyrics offend neighboring countries. It is also sad that Germans are no so afraid of having any sense of national pride that many don't know their own anthem. It is a beautiful song if you know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics are really not much different than some of our patriotic songs. Do we not act and sometimes say we are the best in the world here in the US?
@chadhoes Very well spoken ... i can 't help myself and feel bad when i watch stuff like that knowing that I, beeing german, am connected to Nazideutschland and that this obviously affects the way people look at me as a person. Even the part about Gernans sounding like barking dogs or the way Germans are always douchebags in tv shows makes me fucking sad man.
Schulkult? Kind of reverse patriotism. But be cool. If you look at our history, you will very soon learn that historically, it were the French who always attacked US and stole our territories and killed our people, and not vice versa. But thanks to people like you, to Germans who obviously love hating themselves, WE are the evil guys although we were, as I said, not as war-loving as the French or the English in the past. Aber manche Leute hassen sich einfach gerne selbst. Masochismus³.
I was like Hell yeah. Ill be damned If the Germans try and "forget and move on" from their Nazi past, plus after what Collette went through as a child under Nazi occupation I would definitly throw it back in their faces. Hell these germans during the 60's were the same ones who yelled SEIG HEIL and death to the jews and supported that devil hitler's world domination plan. So I loved how she literally threw their nazi past back in their faces cuz theyre trying to "forget and move on".
You must remember, from 1933 to mid-1940, Hitler was still seen as a great man, not just in Germany but around the world. He dug Germany out of the Great Depression, eliminated his enemies, gave the Germans a leader for more than one year, and in half-a-year, made a conquest of Europe that took Napoleon a decade. Had he died in 1940, he'd be remembered as one of the greatest Germans of all time.
@jamaicancutie1000 She was singing Deutchland Uber Allis, the Nazi national anthem. That and Di Fahne Hoch (coughing and laughing) dont ask me how I know that I just do LOL
LOL well im a university student studying European history. Were in the WWII era now and so to get a one up on everyone in class im looking at films on the third reich, one of them talked about propaganda and those two songs came up, Deutchland Uber Allis and Die Fahne Hoch (Horst Weissel Lied)
@19EHF Oh, it was the national anthem way before the Nazis came to power. In addition, the "proper" Nazi anthem was the first stanza followed by the Nazi anthem "Horst-Wessel-Lied".
@TheApeDescendant It's not that it's controversial to everyone, everyone's just confused why she's so upset while she's singing it. In the beginning everyones smiling until they see how she sings it, except for the pilot, her coworkers, and the two men. They all know that she doesn't mean it, she hates germany for what they did and she made it clear from the conversation that she had previously with the two men in the suits. This was her way of apologizing to her pilot.
@baybicaykes101 It is controversial. The current National Anthem only uses the third stanza. While during the Nazi regime, the first stanza was used as their anthem. Colette sang the first stanza as a way to tell them that even though Germans and Americans are so buddy buddy now, she still remembers the Nazi period.
@baybicaykes101 She's not apologizing to anyone for anything. It's a massive middle finger held up in the center of the party behind a disarming, slightly drunken French smile. She would have learned it in Vichy France.
@TheApeDescendant She only went to forgive germany for the holocaust, but she couldn't because she lost her parents when she was younger. She was very upset that America and Germany were becoming allies and uniting to fight their enemy. She thought it was convenient for Germany that they shared the same enemy, because if they didn't they wouldn't unite. She didn't think that the two countries should have united after everything Germany had done.
very gutsy scene for Pan Am, pretty ambitious episode, I still remember "time tunnel" from the 60s, this is a bit higher quality, and the girls are the protaganists.
Was the show really cancelled, or is it just rumours? I've heard they're only going to make a final decision around May..
