wow...... that wasnt a huge offence.... im sure he didnt know what the fuck he was doing at the time

[outpostflags]

he should have picked a different audience

i remember goin to berlin with my cadets and my sergent said to everyone "put ur hands up if your here" (note: this was right outside the reichstag) and when thay noticed the german soldiers just giggling to themselves they quickly put their hands down realising what it looked like <- proof than germans have a sense of humor

[daniel7319]

what the fuck is the point in germany? it's just a shit country. you guys were the fuckin nazis, so how bout you shut the fuck up and maybe if pete goes on a rampage and kills 6 million jews then get angry. fuckin no sense of humor having boring as fuck waste of fuckin space country.

im german and think its stupid to say that he sang nazi anthem or so, because its NOT a nazi anthem !

and thats a thing too, today nobody sings the first verse....it has NOTHING to do with nazis, so its really dumb to "blame" yourself to be nazis because long time before there where some (and really, not all germans where a nazi, damn) if you let away some verses..!!

[opiumrebel]

No need to be sorry, Pete. Stupid Germans don't know what the first verse means.

Dear old Fallersleben wrote the line in British Exile, yes my fellow German people, Heligoland was part of England by that time.

"Germany above all" does mean to conquer the Globe, it means a united Germany is the goal "above all" goals. Germany was divided into countless princedoms by that time.

I, as a German, don't know why my fellow countrymen are so stupid.

[viaductos]

I can't understand why Germans are still, after 70 years, so sensitive about their past. They should have taken this as a joke.

I have talked to many German people and although some of them are open to talk about Hitler and WW2, all of them seem to be reluctant when talking openly about their real line of thinking.

Not to mention that the old hymn was composed 100 years before the nazis seized power!

rofl @ the germans

[SHIZZLOR]

If Pete would have had an educatet audience, the would not have been angry. Cause the educated germans know, that the verse he sung was written in 1841 and was not a naziverse.

But sadly he had some uneducatet punks, or bums in his audience so they did not get his message of piece and harmony. If a Brit sings the 1st Verse of the Deutschlandlied, that is a hell of a happening =)

cheer up Pete, nothing to appoligize to some stupid fags who can't count to 100...

And then John Cleese comes onto the stage. "Don't mention the war..."

[crackfox100]
