Did you see the German flag at 1:49 ??

We Germans have to go abroad to be patriotic, very sad issue..

@MyChainsAreGone7777 What do YOU mean? I don't have your point...

Entertaining.

I don't have any problem with Germans displaying a love of country. Germany is and has been a great country. But I'll admit I find it a little incongruous to see German flags at a concert dedicated primarily to British pomp and ceremony - the long association of the British monarchy with Germany notwithstanding.

[Crylon78]

well they do, but not correctly at all, which makes them amalgamate and misunderstand the real danger it was. And I really do agree with your point: it is sad for both our countries...

[fiedelmax]

@Crylon78 I find it very ironic if-according to you- the French don't know the meaning of the word "nazi". I mean, Nazi-Germany occupied France in the 1940s.

But to get back to my point, if it's true what you say, it's sad as well as it is here in Germany.

@fiedelmax

well, if you say something patriotic here in France, you're a "collabo".

For a long time, I had a flag of every country I've visited in my room, except the french one, not to be thought as nazi. (yes, you wonder "what the heck ?" but french patriotism is amalgamated with "nazi" because, sadly, nobody really knows what nazi means here...)
