Although there is no actual tune called Deutschlandelied...however during 1933 and 1945 only the first verse of Deutschlandlied was sung and then followed by the Horst-Wessel-Lied

sorry my riding boots were too tight, messed up my spieling.

So basically they had Deutschlandlied (the uber alles one) they have since dropped to using the last verse as the National Anthem?

Goodness knows what they will do with Deutchslandelied (Uber alles), Il Canto degli Italiani or La Marseillaise?

Gammons would like this as well.

Non Catholic, non French & non Spanish Gammons of course.

The Jacobites were hardly gentle freedom fighters.

Mind you, these days 'Land Of Hope & Glory' could be banned under the Trade Descriptions Act.

Although vetran is well versed in that song, each night he stands at attention in his black patent leather cavalry boots at the end of his bed and belts it out with vigour knowing that one day he will get his rightful rewards...otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it

Barmy is dreaming of me in knee length leather boots and tight black uniform again.
With all those kinky Germans about he has gone native!

Deutchslandelied Uber alles was only used used during the Nazis late 1930s to 1945. It was not used before then and not used since 1945.

Deutschlandlied - Wikipedia

and wrong

In November 1991, President Richard von Weizsäcker and Chancellor Helmut Kohl agreed in an exchange of letters to declare the third stanza alone to be the national anthem of the reunified republic.^[15] Hence, effective since then, the national anthem of Germany is unmistakably the third stanza of the Deutschlandlied, and only this stanza, with Haydn's music.

The second verse of the British National Anthem, would have been apt for the Brexit negotiations

Gammons would like this as well.

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade
May, by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush
And, like a torrent, rush
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King.

[OwlHoot]

Interesting - they just use the third verse now:

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Unity and justice and freedomFor the German fatherland!
Towards these let us all strive
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the safeguards of fortune;
|: Flourish in the radiance of this fortune,
Flourish, German fatherland! :|
