They are wearing stahlhelms again and doing torchlit parades in front of the leader. Do they not know this is a very bad aesthetic for them, does the Red Army need to roll into Berlin again since they obviously didn't learn their lesson from last time.
Nazis tend to taint lots of traditions and symbols that have existed for centuries. See: swastika (at least in the west).
It’s a completely understandable response to immediately be reminded of the nazis when you see a bunch of german soldiers marching in black, wearing stahlhelms, and carrying torches.
Might be overboard, but the rest of the world has every reason to see that shit and be like :what-the-hell:
The wrong germany won the reunification struggle.
Rest in power :GDR-emblem:
I mean, like the poster above showed, DDR did this as well and they were playing Nina Hagen and other 70s songs.
It seems a lot less threatening in action than in pictures.
Wait, they were playing Nina Hagen for Merkel? What the fuck
She is from the DDR and was young in the 70s. Of course she is a Nina Hagen fan.
Huh. Didn't know she was from the DDR. Explains why she wasn't full fash despite being a conservative.
On the contrary if you look at the fash distribution in germany. The west fucked over and neglected the east so hard post reunification till today, that many there have a rightful anger that then gets entirely misdirected because the solution could of course not be to the left where the evil DDR is.
