Great question. The Nazis used torches as an intimidation tactic. But then again, peasants often used torches when they were preparing to storm an evil king’s castle.
So what’s going on here? Personally, I’m hoping to see some castles stormed.
“One week after Germany announced a lockdown for the unvaccinated, their soldiers are holding a night march with torches”
SO, what does it MEAN?
The electric grid is down?
They are having Nazi parade at night?
The torches are to intimidate. Much like they did in 1939.
The Großer Zapfenstreich ("Grand Tattoo") is a military ceremony performed in Germany and Austria. It is similar to the military tattoo ceremony performed in English-speaking countries, and is the most important ceremonial act executed by the German federal armed forces, the Bundeswehr, and by the Austrian federal armed forces Bundesheer. The Zapfenstreich is performed only during national celebrations and solemn public commemorations, to honour distinguished persons present at such special events. Examples are the farewell ceremony for a German federal president, or at the conclusion of large military exercises. It takes place in the evening hours and consists of a military formation of at least one military band, two platoons of armed infantrymen, and two lines of soldiers carrying torches, in total about 400 men.
