Have you had any odd looks or stares?
I thought it was to remember the fallen - presumably they also remember them in Germany? Not their fault they had rubbish leaders......

I'd be suprised if they knew what it meant. I'm sure they'll have their own remembrance day, but the poppy wont signify that to them surely?
My hubby worked with a german PM not so long ago who asked him what it was all about.
Then again he also asked him <queue Allo Allo german accent> "vot is spam, ven you do not eat it?"The pope is a tard.Comment

If any did take offence, they (previous generations) are ones who initiated the need for such a day in the first place!Comment

On the 11/11 in the UK you remember the war, on the 11/11 in Germany (at 11:11) they start carnival season (Fasching) and get drunk, whats better?“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I've been asked why I wear a poppy. I tell them it's to remember all those who died in the wars, in the first world war and since. It doesn't seem to cause any offence.
The beginning of Fachnacht on the 11th November at 11:00, hasn't any link that I've been able to find.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
