>The US Tennis Association was left red faced after playing part of the German national anthem used during the Nazi period at the Fed Cup tournament in Hawaii. Germany’s Andrea Petkovic described it as “the worst thing that has ever happened to me.” The offensive first stanza has been banned in Germany since the end of the Second World War, but it was precisely those bars that were played during the opening ceremony of the quarter final match on Saturday between the Alison Riske of the US and Germany’s Andrea Petkovic.
>Riske subsequently beat Petkovic, who described hearing the verse as the “epitome of ignorance.”
>“I’ve never felt more disrespected in my whole life, let alone in Fed Cup, and I’ve played Fed Cup for 13 years now and it is the worst thing that has ever happened to me,” she said, stressing “It’s 2017 – something like this simply should not happen in the United States.”
What a bunch of retards. First of all, this was an Austrian anthem (Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser). youtube.com/watch?v=3p39ulIfnzc Secondly, this is not a national socialist anthem bust a Bismarkian, i.e. a unification anthem. Thus, when they say "Deutschlan über alles", they mean that the german union is above any regional considerations. They don't mean that anyting that is not german is untermensch.
