The woman is Germania. The video represents Germany's history, and future. And, as I understand it, the relationship the German people have with their country and its history and spirit.

[@peterprovost727]

The first images you saw where from the humiliating defeat suffered by a Roman general named Quintillius Varus who lead a campaign into Germany.

[@Mora71]

It's about Germany's history throughout the centuries and the l0ve - hate relation the bandmenbers have with Germany. The woman represents Germany

[@mr.x-treme9771]

Yes. She is Germania.

[@-scrim]

If she represents Germany, why is she black? Strange!

[@FHB71]

Well, German here. It is not about the love/hate relationship the band members have, but rather which we all more or less have 😀 ... it is a cultural thing 😀 ... but Rammstein seem to explain the reasons pretty well.

[@nicolaloverre4524]

I, as an educated Italian, understand.

[@davidmarkwort9711]

This woman is Germany, she is Germania. This is the love, hate relationship that we Germans have towards our own country. It started with the Romans, through the Middle Ages up until the present and beyond

[@gabriel.bardac]

7:39: "I don't know if I like this woman too much, she's cutting people's heads off and hanging on and stuff.." That's a gem of a comment. Seriously.

[@lanaeshonestopinion]

🤣🤣🤣 It was definitely my honest reaction lol

[@gabriel.bardac]

@@lanaeshonestopinion I know! But you, without understanding the lyrics, commented very to the point here, because the theme of the entire music video is the ambivalent relationship, of love / hate, that the Germans have with their country, represented by that woman.

[@denniseldridge2936]

@@lanaeshonestopinion Please say you did pick up on the Holocaust reference in there at the very least! As many others have no doubt pointed out by now, this video represents the history of Germany (Deutschland, as personified by the Black woman as Germania). Rammstein are showing their country's lowest moments, essentially saying, "I'd love to love you, but you have so many evil sides to you," or something like that.

[@lanaeshonestopinion]

​@denniseldridge2936 I was confused on the video for the most part. Only until the comments explained it did I fully understand the concept. I was blown away by the music and was trying to understand what was going on in a language I don't know. I'm not gonna pick up on everything my 1st time even if others have. I notice things others don't a lot of the time and a lot of others notice things I don't. That's the beauty of reaction channels.

The end credit music is the piano version of 'Sonne' :D For a discussion of all the scenes of German history shown and the easter eggs in each scene would take an hours-long video in itself.

[@nickgillingham5575]

This entire song is about the history of Germany. I know it is confusing to you. The first scene references the Roman Invasion of Germany in Ancient Period and the Germanic Tribes repelling invasion where the "lost legion" was slaughters in what is modern day black forest. The repeated scenes of Astronaunts are about the eastern blocks space race with the western democratic countries. the momentary visual of the nepolanic german soldiers refers to that conflict between france and germany. The monks eating the black woman (germany) is referencing the evils of christianity in the dark ages and the conflict between the royals and church. Til fighting with the brass knuckles (the the "back alley" per say) is entering into the late 1920s early 1930s economic situation in Germany "ending" with him in prison with the "useless money" dropping from the ceiling the final years of the Weinmar Republic and the Great Depression. then it shows Til and Band Members about to be hanged by the Nazis (during the third reich period of germany) Til is wearing the Jewish Star while other band members are wearing symbols on their uniforms of other persecuted groups during Hitler's Reign. IE communists. Then it shows the Woman Burning at the Stake this again steps backwards in history Showing the Inquisiton and the infamous "witch" trials and executions with an connection again between the evil of the inquisitors and hitlers brown shorts (SA) meeting and hugging. (of course showing the burning of books and supression of knowledge in both historical periods) It shows the corruption communist regime of East Germany and the riots in the late 1960s. The scene with Til wearing the skirt and hostage situation is in reference to an infamous bank hold up by an extreme left wing group in west germany. NOW the most likely confusing section of the video to you individually is prob. the birthing scene the black woman having surgery and "birthing" dogs. The dog breed is the Leonberger which almost went extinct as an dog breed twice in germanys history. LASTLY as others as commented this song is also about the love hate relationship the band has with their mother country Germany and in general an acceptance of the futue german gennerations in dealing with such historical events like the Holocaust. Wanting to be proud of place your born in but not being about to do so easily because of the holocaust (and other events) great reaction!! hope to see more of your reactions as always

[@teslafenn]

I'll try to summarize the scenes. I don't have to be right about everything either. The Woman is the Goddess Germania, Symbol of Germany/ Deutschland In the so-called Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, also known as the Battle of Varus or Battle of Hermann, Germanic tribes led by the Cheruscan Prince destroyed three Roman legions After the First World War there was an eventful afterlife with fist fights; the pugilists earned some money to live on for themselves and their families The Hindenburg Drama. Germany had the largest airships (zepelins named after the builder). There was a great disaster in New York. To this day it is not clear whether it was an accident or an attack. Hammer and sickle symbolizes the German Democratic Republic (division after World War II) The monks symbolize the time of the 30 Years' War The Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 was a conflict for hegemony in the Holy Roman Empire and Europe that began as a religious war and ended as a territorial war. Start: Second Prague Defenestration Outcome: Peace of Westphalia; Peace of Münster According to estimates, the population of Germany fell from 16.5 million in 1618 to 10.5 million in 1648 The hyperinflation of 1923 Driven by the reparations payment by the victorious powers in the Peace of Versailles, which made Hitler's seizure of power possible Examples of price decline On June 9, 1923 in Berlin: 1 egg - 800 marks 1 liter of milk - 1440 marks 1 kilo of potatoes - 5000 marks 1 tram ride - 600 marks 1 dollar was equal to 100,000 marks. On December 2, 1923 in Berlin: 1 egg - 320 billion marks 1 liter of milk - 360 billion marks 1 kilo of potatoes - 90 billion marks 1 tram ride - 50 billion marks 1 dollar corresponded to 4.21 trillion marks. World War 2 and the extermination camps The stars on the men at the gallows represent the different prisoners Political prisoners, Jews, Sexually Different and Criminals. Germany developed rocket technology, jet aircraft and many other weapons of war. After the war they were happily taken over by the victors and the engineers also worked for the victorious powers Til in women's clothes RAF Red Army Faction was a terrorist group Bader (a man) and Meinhof (a woman were the masterminds. Kidnapping and killing of politicians and business leaders The fires Book burning in the Third Reich and witch burning in the Middle Ages Both evil factions embrace The little dogs with gas masks Symbolizes German soldiers in the First World War with weapons of gas destruction used by both sides The dogs represent the children of Germania. It is meant to symbolize that Germans follow orders like a good dog. Very drastic but Germans think very much in black and white. either good or evil. Other cultures think more in shades of gray I must have forgotten something or not interpreted it correctly. The song in the credits is Sonne by Rammstein

Before I go through it just some general remarks: Rammstein always telling a story with so many symbolism. the black lady’s persona in the video is “Germania” and she represents Germany (the nation / the people) and in many scenes where she appears the colors black, red and gold (colors of the German flag) are dominant. The video as well as the lyrics are a critical review on Germany’s history. Main scenes of the video: The first scene with the roman soldiers refers to the battle of Teutoburg forest, the first time the German tribes untied under Arminius against the Romans and ambushed them on their march back to their winter camp + completely annihilated several legions - the Romans would never return and fortify at the Rhine - this could be seen as the birth of the German identity. The red laser beams throughout the video I think are guiding thread (German expression “roter Faden”" translates to “red thread” and translates to guiding principle / guideline of a story) When Germania (black lady) in golden armor (black red gold as main colors of the scene pushes the standard into the ground she raises all the dead medieval knights - a reference to the strength of the German people who recovered time after time throughout history from catastrophes (especially, but not only) in the middle ages (crusades, Hunnic invasion, plague, etc.) - the additional meaning i think is the fact that German people several times followed their countries call for War - even if they were already beaten up (e.g. after WWI going into WWII). The standard I guess refers to a relic which was part of the Imperial regalia of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation" - the conglomerate of mostly German territories which was ruled by a emperor elected by the highest ranking nobles of the realm and persisted from the 10th century until 1806). This relic, the Lance of Longinus, is dated back to the 8th century and was said to contain in it's tip one of the nails that were used in the crucifixion of Jesus. It was supposed to make any army that carries it into battle invincible. It can still be seen today in a museum called "die Schatzkammer" (the treasure chamber) in Vienna,/Austria. Next scene (fistfight) is from the roaring twenties, the period between the two world wars where upper class society was decadent on the backs of ordinary people + entertainment industry was born. Next scene shows the Hindenburg disaster (famous German Airship which blew up in flames) during a time of growing industrialization 1930s. Next Scene is from the communist elite in eastern Germany who was indulging in party and Champaign while ordinary people were poor and the main idea of communism should be equality of the people. Then the scene in the middle ages - where the monks (representing the church) feast on Germania (the land) and suppress the common folk (underneath the table). The scene in the prison again refers to the roaring twenties, as Germania is dressed in a Prussian uniform suppressing the German people. Additionally money is thrown away by everybody, a reference to the big inflation in Germany after WWI. Then the rockets (Nazi German was working on the first warfare rockets called V1 and V2 (V standing for “Vergeltung” which translates to retaliation - fitting to the picture with the rockets, the lyrics are an alliteration on “über” a german pre-syllable/prefix meaning over. “Überheblich (overbearing / presumptuous), Überlegen (superior) Übernehmen (taking over), Übergeben (handing over), überraschen (surprise), Überfallen (ambush), „Deutschland, Deutschland über allen“ (Germany, Germany above everyONE). The line „Deutschland, Deutschland über alleN“ (Germany above everyONE) is a reference to one of the verses of former national anthem of Germany which was in use from 1922 to 1945 and got excluded after WW2 for being too nationalistic. In this verse there was a line “Deutschland, Deutschland über alleS“ (a subtle difference to the line in Rammstein’s version translating to “Germany, Germany above everyTHING”). The actual verse with this line was already written in 1842, long before the formation of Germany as a Nation (which only happened in 1871) - therefore “Germany, Germany above everything” was relating to the importance of uniting the several German ministates, kingdoms and Duchies into one nation. After WWI this verse got taken into the national anthem of Germany as it spoke to the patriotism of the German people but later officially excluded from the anthem since it was deemed too nationalistic. Today this verse/line is generally frowned upon and would be associated with Neo-Nationalism. Using this line in the scene with the concentration camps including the subtle change from “Germany above everyTHING” (which has already the nationalistic connotation) to “Germany above everyONE” which carries an even more nationalistic / racist meaning is a very clever double-reference to the doctrine of racial supremacy in the Third Reich. The Concentration camp prisoners have symbols sewn on their jackets for the groups the Nazis hunted and killed (yellow star for Jews, Pink triangle for Homosexuals, red symbol for political adversaries (communists). Germania is on the side of the Nazis and has an eyepatch (representing the blind eye that many Germans turned on the atrocities of the Nazi regime. The Scene where Till is dressed as a woman refers to the left wing terrorist group called “Rote Armee Fraktion” - a terrorist association in the 1970s responsible for several political assassinations and murders as well as a famous kidnapping of German Diplomats in Stockholm. Then there is the scene with the stake at which books are burned by the Nazis and people are burned by the church (inquisition). Later the monk (church) and the Nazi soldier hug (as the church did not go against the Nazis when they came to power and both organizations were responsible for a lot of intolerance and suffering in their times. The scene where Germania is dressed in white with a Halo I think refers to the positive, the strength of the German people who recovered time after time from several catastrophic disasters in their history. Later she gives birth to puppies representing the German people. The puppies are from a rare breed of dogs (Leonbergers) who’s population got almost extinct in both world wars (symbolized with the dogs wearing gas masks) but recovered after the wars. In these scenes the band members wear space suits - in my view a reference to the (hopefully) better future of the German people. In the very last scene of the outro you can once more see Germania with national colors (black, red gold) with black lipstick, red eyes and golden armor before a red/ black background holding an eagle, the heraldic symbol of Germany. One further remark to one of the more important lines of the lyrics: The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) refers to the fact that the German people with their idenitify have been around for thousands of years, however the actual state of Germany as a nation was only founded very late (1871) thorough the unification of several mini states (Prussia, Hessia, Saxonia, Bavaria, etc.) But it can also be understood that today's Germany has only existed since the reunification of East and West Germany (October 3, 1990): so young and yet so old. Lyrics in english: You (You have, you have, you have, you have) Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried) Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated) United in heart (United, united, united, united) We (We are, we are, we are, we are) Have been together for so long (You are, you are, you are, you are) Your breath's cold (So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold) The heart in flames (So hot, so hot, so hot, so hot) You (You can, you can, you can, you can) I (I know, I know, I know, I know) We (We are, we are, we are, we are) You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay) [Chorus] Germany - my heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany - your breath's cold So young, and yet so old Germany!

What many non-German listeners don´t know: This song is absolulely not a patriotic song!! It´s very critical! So Till Lindemann sings: ....Germany....I can´t give you my love. Rammstein isn´t a patriotic or even nationalist band. They have their roots in Punk music and in many interviews they explained, that they are political on the left.

02:25 9 AD - Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, Roman Empire vs. Germanic tribes (Germanic victory)

The video is beautifully mirror-inverted

[@megatwingo]

Hi, I'm from Germany. Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars. A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc. The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too. The words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time. Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany. The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means: Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity. So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state. So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old. The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike). That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history. The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees. The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees). In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle. After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background). The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion. The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation. One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers. The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket. This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain. A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp. The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses. The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man. The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialist German state in the east that existed before the German reunification. Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp). The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion). My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams. Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example. The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events. PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages. In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it). But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war. The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened. PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too. PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII. PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet. Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem. Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything). The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world). This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere. The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way. When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteenth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way). So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else". That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song. The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore. This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore. We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore. It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking. Finally: The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin. I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because: a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄 Greetings Mega

[@megatwingo]

PS: KZbin didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here: The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler. The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform. Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day. Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings. PPS: The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history. As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way. PPPS: The name Rammstein comes from the German town Ramstein (with one "m"). There is an US-airbase and there happened a big, tragic airshow disaster, when two jets collided and fell into the audience. Therefore all the flames and the burning coat during the song Rammstein and all the fire in their shows in general. But that rather tasteless name and the negative press echo were too much even for Rammstein. So they changed their name later in Rammstein, what indeed means "battering stone". They delivered a half assed explanation for it decades ago. I've forgotten, what they said. A fact is, that they called themselves after that town and that airshow disaster. Probably for provocation purposes. Their old song "Rammstein" even tells in other words the story of that disaster and it tells about a fine day with a warm shining sun...and burning people. Neue Deutsche Härte was always a pretty unsatisfying new name for the music they made mainly: Industrial or Industrial Metal/Rock.

[@michaels.4107]

Ahhh, girl, the song, especially the video is hard stuff. Especially if you're not from Germany or don't know the 2000 years of German history. This also applies to some Germans 😉 Deutschland is the German name for Germany, the woman symbolizes Germany, therefore she is also present in most scenes depicting epochs of German history. Romans against Germanic tribes, the Middle Ages, modern times with the 2nd World War. Then the terror of the RAF, the division of the country into the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR... The people on the gallows represent the population groups persecuted and murdered at that time, e.g. Jews, during the Second World War. The rocket is a V2, which was used for bombing attacks on England, from which the rockets for the American moon program later emerged. The text deals with the attitude of many Germans towards their country, which on the one hand looks back on a long and great history. But on the other hand, there is the dark side of the Second World War. You want to love this country because of its rich history and achievements, but you can't, or it's hard because of the stain of war and the crimes committed by Germans... There are some very good descriptions of each scene on KZbin. Worth looking into if you're interested. And yes, this text is translated from German.

Yes our education completely fails. I 100% agree with that. We learn a lot about our history but we don't learn the history of every single country in the world.

​​​@@lanaeshonestopinionYou don't have to learn the history from every single country. But the second world war is also an important part from the history in the USA. Did they really don't teach something about the WW2, Holocaust, D-Day, Nazis, cold war and some more? PS: I am from Switzerland not from Germany. We also learn a lot about the WW2. Probably not as much like in Germany, but enough.

Not to be confused with the Dutch - they come from the Netherlands. _Dutch_ and _Deutsch_ are the same word in origin, but both Germans and Dutch people call the Germans _Deutsch_ - and the people from the Netherlands _Nederlands._ The British messed that up. They couldn't tell us apart I guess.

Interestingly, us English-speaking folk were also lazy enough that we got to calling the turkey bird that because we figured it must have come from that exotic land so very far away (at the time a few hundred years ago haha).

Boggles my mind that most people don't understand the WW2 references to the death camps. Even seen people ask why they're wearing stripes...... Don't they teach young people anything anymore?

[@drunk-mangaming2744]

[@TacticalCoffee719]

Deutschland means Germany

[@glaube_mein_schwein_pfeift]

What??? Really???🙄

[@jerrybk1]

I don't know it's me but all your videos on screen with lyrics are upside down. I would review and adjust

[@jankro1]

Yes, lots of credits on a 6.5 million€ video!

[@Gea2222]

And now react to Laibach Life is life video haha 😅😅😅😅

[@pancentricism]

Well done for listening right through the credits. You should listen to "Christmas Truce" by the Swedish group Sabaton. Watch the official video, watch right to the end and see if you can work out who is singing through the credits.

Its not prison its about the holocaust

[@pancentricism]

Don't get me wrong, I love this band and nothing has been proven, but Til, the lead singer, is under investigation for inviting women who attend the concerts to a private party at which he drugs them and then proceeds to have sex with them. Mind you, the rumours all blew up after this video, which upset a lot of Germans, so could well be completely made up just to punish the band for being truthful about German history.

[@fionadowdeswell-simmons4968]

Can I just point out to you that the investigations have all been dropped due to lack of evidence. It was Aleena who chose the girls to attend the parties and no evidence of drug taking it spiking by Till or any other hand member was found.

[@TheRammMan]

You living under a rock? The charges were thrown out ages ago due to lack of evidence. Plus the skank who made the claims says Till didn’t do anything to her anyway 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MarenLehmkuhl-h2c]

Please inform yourself, the story was already debunked last year. He was under investigation but only because of third party allegations. The investigation in Berlin was already stopped last August. But you are in good company, the German media tries to bring that up again and again. Doesn’t really work though, couldn’t cancel them.

[@d34d10ck]

He is not under investigation. There never was one because there was never a reason for it.
