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.

    Easy one: the version of the grand tattoo performed in “reunified” germany removes the section from the DDR version that honored the victims of fascism and militarism.

    There was a whole part focused on everyone who died during the first German Communist revolutions of 1918-19, the Nazi regime, and the subsequent resistance during WW2.

    Also, if your cultural military traditions have been co-opted by the textbook embodiment of evil, just drop them.

    There’s a whole “traditionless” movement for the military in Germany because of the increase in “clean Wehrmacht” neo-nazis that showed up when Germany started accepting Syrian refugees.

        Good luck!

        I don't understand what your response means, are you saying "good luck in removing nazi traditions"? Because like... yeah, that's the whole point.
