  • Jesus Christ, will you stop going on about whether the march or the royal family or whatever is German, Austrian, English, Martian, blah blah. Put your sad little nationalistic prejudices aside and just enjoy the music - you sad f*cking muppets.

  • Furthermore, the Germans were the king of marches and bands way back when.

    The 5 individual Regimental Bands, which form the Massed Bands of the Foot Guards seen here, were modelled on German military bands.

    So I think it's 'appropriate' for them to play German marches, heck even the Royal Family is 'German' as well.

    They've also been seen playing American marches like the Washington Post march, Semper Fidelis, the Invincible Eagle, the King Cotton march etc.

    Doesn't make it not Czech either - you can argue it both ways.

  • @FPH1989

    Doesn't make the song Czech.

  • GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

  • @maggytec ahhhh... the jealousy...

  • that's a big band.

  • @Matt007b That's not whistling it's the fyfes of The Corps Of Drums playing. The musicians are talented players but whistling in tune is surely behond them!

  • @kos The Scots Gaels are Irish lol. They lived in the north of the island and invaded, thrashing the native Caledonians or Picts. Still, Sudetenland isnt too important but Alsace-Lorraine, East Prussia ( based around Kaliningrad) and that bit of Germany given to Belgium, should all be given back. :P

  • @kaiserliam That depends heavily on how you define 'German'. If you use a linguistic definition, then you are right. But if you reject nineteenth century ideas about Nationalismus, the fact remains that the Sudeten Germans never at any time lived in a German state, German nation or German country - until Hitler. How, therefore, are they German?

    Using the logic of Hitlerian racial nationalism, we could say the Scottish Gaels are Irish because they are linguistically Irish.

  • @kos Im fine with Czech culture etc but the Sudetenland did have a large German population.

  • @kos Im fine with Czech culute etc but the Sudetenland did have a large German population.
