Soccer broadcaster sorry for subtitling German anthem with Nazi lyrics
the Telegraph reported.NPO’s subtitle service had reportedly displayed text from the first verse of the “Song of the Germans,” which had been outlawed by the Allies in 1945 due to its association with the Third Reich. The problematic stanza — which included the words, “Germany, above all / above everything in the world” — had infamously been adopted as a hymn by Hitler in 1933 because he felt it embodied his goal of world domination.That wasn’t the ballad’s only controversial part.
