Best video ever filmed of a national anthem. Improved when you realize most of the actors and extras, even those playing the Germans, were refugees from the Nazis.
The other song in that video clip is "Die Wacht am Rhein" (the guard on the Rhine), a German patriotic song dating from the was scare of 1840, when fighting between the Ottoman Empire and its wayward province of Egypt threatened to touch off a major European war.
