The Germans can be brought back into the fold, which I doubt can be done with the French. We should look for ways that Germany can be split off from France.

Other German ships did this right after 9-11 as well. And German soldiers lined the streets to salute the wounded from Iraq last spring as the ambulances went by.

Their chancellor is an idiot, but the German military are a different breed. Much different than their grandfathers who my father chased across North Africa...but I digress.

Thanks German Navy. At least you didn't give us the finger like the French...

This smacks of a hoax so I started looking, came across this blog.

Still trying to verify this cause I trust NPR about as far as on of their trnasmitters sends a signal.

Sailors know whats goin' on.

A hopeful sign that once you get above the level of politician, decent people exist 'almost' everywhere.

We can only pray this is a sign of things to come.

Didn't the German Navel Officer only give the standard Navel Officer sulute, other then the "Heil Hitler" salute?

They did something like that right after 9/11/01. German police, military and even civilians who I personally know are not morons like Schroeder. When they showed the demonstrations against the Iraq war in Berlin, one Million people attended. Germany has 82 Million people. Not everybody there is stupid. Thanks, to read stuff like that makes me as a native German feel better. There is hope!

On this day, as the two ships approached and passed, the entire crew of the German vessel stood top-side in full dress uniforms, holding their hats over their hearts. And as the ultimate gesture of respect, the FGS Niedersachsen was flying the United States flag from its main mast. A US Naval Officer, in an email that also reached the German Embassy in Washington, told of how touched the US crew were by the “classy and emotional” presentation by their German counterparts

It's a great gesture, but what makes you think they just aren't happy to be on the winning side for a change?
