Apparently, it’s some sort of farewell to Angela Merkel. But as others have said, it’s not a good look for Germans, and they really *ought* to know better.

Yeah, I saw that up thread, too, seems like the Great Mandarin Speaking Poso, Gatekeeper of Gitmo was embellishing a bit.

Re: 12 - Than for posting that.

What a pathetic hack Jack Posobiec is. He could have easily checked into more details about the picture, but he’s just trying to push the narrative.

But to the point of the optics of a torch lit ceremony……and wanting to put the untaxed people in camps. We’ve seen this movie before.

“It’s a farewell ceremony for Angela Merkel.”

Thank you for explaining that. GOODBYE Angela.

Had to do a triple take on the flag with the eagle on the top of the pole. May they not get too nostalgic....

It really is 1939 all over again isn’t it? or ‘38 or whatever, it is a replay of the Nazis.

This is what a German on another site had to say about that ceremony:

“The Großer Zapfenstreich is a military tradition to honor important persons or in the case of the afghanistan war to honor the entire militaryforces deployed there (was a first timer) normaly the Zapfenstreich basically just means that now is time to sleep for soldiers back in the days of the Landsknechte (lansquenet) they officer used to go around witha torch and tell everyone he needs to sleep now. since 1836 when the tsar was honored in berlin by the prussian king there was the Großer zapfenstreich (groß meaning big) it always is done after sun set and its kind of a military cermony the honor battalion goes around in cricles etc. and then the music corp plays some traditonal marches and calssical pieces etc and some music the honored person chose themselves. It requires high percision etc. but because today many germans are pretty anti military etc. many associate this tradition with the nazis.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Zapfenstreich,

There is history on this kind of Military Tattoo in germany, but I agree not the best of optics, interesting that they still do it however.

No, not at all. Good God it looks like the Feldherren Halle for crying out loud.

Shades of 1938.
