Sweet.

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles was the dream of a young German Poet, Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1841, after French troops took parts of the Rhineland back then. Today it does not play a role anymore since the EU has its western boarder in the Atlantic-coast of France and not in the Maas area near the Rhine as suggested in the so called “Deutschlandlied”. The EU has gotten far bigger than the country described in Deutschland Deutschland über alles (von der Maas bis an die Memel, von dem Etsch bis an den Belt). From Sicily to the Polar circle and from eastern Poland to the Atlantic. The times are a changeing - we have no need to sing such BS anymore. :)

Regards from Europe
Andreas
