I'd be surprised if there was more than 1/100 people on this forum that could recognize the real German national anthem. That isn't even a nazi song, but more about German unification and imperialist ideas, which was adopted by the weimar republic and kept by the nazis. It's from the same song as the current anthem too; they're just using a different part.

The nazi version stole that first verse and added some actual nazi songs onto it.

^^ we were about 100 yards away and only found out about it when we were trying to find out what happened to the german player after she twisted her knee. No one at the tennis match said anything throughout the day.

Your thread title is quite sensationalist. There's a lot more to Germany than the AH era. Bach, Einstein, Benz..
