      True. Even for someone who understands German and knows German history, it's a tsunami of information.
      Also a song.@@bignickreacts

    Hi, I'm from Germany.
    Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars.
    A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc.
    The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space.
    The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too.
    The words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time.
    Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany.
    The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means:
    Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity.
    So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state.
    So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old.
    The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
    That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
    The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
    The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
    In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
    After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
    The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
    The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation.
    One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers.
    The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
    This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
    A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
    The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
    The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
    The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialist German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
    Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
    The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
    My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
    Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
    The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
    PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
    PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
    In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
    But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
    The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
    PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
    PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
    PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
    Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem.
    Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything).
    The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world).
    This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere.
    The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way.
    When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteenth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way).
    So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else".
    That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song.
    The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore.
    This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore.
    We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore.
    It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking.
    Finally:
    The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
    I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
    a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
    b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
    c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄

      @megatwingo 4 месяца назад +4

      PS: RUclips didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here:
      The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler.
      The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform.
      Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day.
      Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings.
      PPS:
      The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history.
      As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way.
      PPPS: The name Rammstein comes from the German town Ramstein (with one "m"). There is an US-airbase and there happened a big, tragic airshow disaster, when two jets collided and fell into the audience.
      Therefore all the flames and the burning coat during the song Rammstein and all the fire in their shows in general. But that rather tasteless name and the negative press echo were too much even for Rammstein. So they changed their name later in Rammstein, what indeed means "battering stone".
      They delivered a half assed explanation for it decades ago. I've forgotten, what they said. A fact is, that they called themselves after that town and that airshow disaster. Probably for provocation purposes.
      Their old song "Rammstein" even tells in other words the story of that disaster and it tells about a fine day with a warm shining sun...and burning people.
      Neue Deutsche Härte was always a pretty unsatisfying new name for the music they made mainly: Industrial or Industrial Metal/Rock.

If you decide to continue down the VAST Rammstein rabbit hole be prepared to have your mind blown. They are very controversial and that's what we love about them! They don't give a flying fvck if they offend anyone! Don't like it don't watch. Hope to see more Rammstein reactions from you! 🤘🤘

And don't miss them onstage, because then you can watch their full energy and power. A good "starter" would be "Du hast" live in Paris. Lots of love from Germany ❤

    Great reaction! Rammstein are not always historical or political but they like to hold a mirror up to society and don't shy away from controversial topics like child abuse, true crimes ("Mein Teil" or "Wiener Blut") or extreme sexual topics. Their music videos are masterpieces in itself, but their live show is out of this world.
    P.S. Lyrics are mandatory for Rammstein, the channel educatedmarine has many videos with translated lyrics 😊

      @traylor2502 4 месяца назад

      Yep, and the first scene shows Germania with wolves, a little later she has German Shepherds on the leash, then the members of the band, and then she gives birth to the Leonbergers. It's like Germania's only goal is to make the dogs survive. Or maybe it is a reference to Jung and Freud and other Germans who made psychology a science, and in this picture the Germans are the underdogs.

    Hello there.
    I'm genuinely impressed and delighted about your sophisticated reaction. It was an absolute joy.
    Here's my share of knowledge of the images that puzzled you.
    The monks/ church is feasting of Germania, respectively how the clergy in Germany ate their fill and ate richly. gluttony.
    The dog scene. Or rather, whose birth. This takes place in Valhalla. These are Leonbergers. A breed that almost became extinct during World War I and World War II. It was favored by royals. What's important about the scene is the person in red. This is the robe of federal judges. A constitution is born.
    The scene with the bust of Marx in the background and the tanks in the foreground. That was the June 17 uprising.
    Germania biting the lips of Till (lead singer) cut off head. Well, Till and the other bandmember all grew up in East Germany. After the reunification (up until today) they execute what was promised: free speech and expression of art. There were several attempts to shut them up, hence the bit off lips. The body obviously is missing, because of where they were brought up. That country doesn’t exit anymore.
    With love from Germany 🤘🏻 ❤
    Please keep them Rammstein reaction coming. Welcome to the Rammstein family. Left a sub.

    Shocking and provocation are the main features of Rammstein.
    And then you either love it or hate it. It is difficult to remain indifferent.
    Even their very name is Rammstein
    provocation.
    Song Germany is a non-linear history of Germany in 9'20 minutes. Past, present and future are mixed up.
    Perhaps your subscribers from Germany will explain better than me what historical moments are presented there.
    Each episode of the video has a symbolic meaning.
    I will write you this story in another application that you recently installed so as not to receive a block here.
    In addition to historical symbols, there are many references to Ramms’ previous songs, albums and videos.
    Here you go, according to the timing of the official video:
    1.09 - America
    1.13 - Du hust
    2.03 - Du hust (and the beginning of the song with the same words)
    2.41 -! Ich will
    2.45 - Rosenrot
    2.49 - scene from the cover of which album
    3.29 - Ich Will (and the first word of the verse is the same)
    3.37 - Kein Lust
    4.38 - Rosenrot
    4.51 - Mutter album cover
    4.59 - Du hust
    6.26 - Ich Will
    6.45 - Sonne (Snow White in the coffin)
    Perhaps there is also Mein Herz Brennt somewhere...
    My immersion in the world of Rammstein began with the fact that I fell in love with their music. Not understanding the texts. When I began to understand the meaning of the texts, I fell in love with them even more. Although it can hardly be called cute and pleasant.
    And then I started watching the video. It's always dark and scary. And there is not a single video where someone is not on fire, stabbed to death, blown up, etc. This is their signature style.
    But if you see symbols in this, and not just scary scenes, then you understand how deep and subtle it all is. And most often this is irony or sarcasm about what is happening in the world and between people.
    Rammstein and their leader Till Lindemann are fantastic musicians, actors, poets and artists.
    Perhaps for reactions it is better to take the concert versions. They are not so strict in terms of video content. Although, not always.
    The video for this song, in my opinion, is the most decent of all the others.
    But once again I want to say that all these disgusting scenes are just symbols. Like in the paintings of Bosch or Bruegel.
    And the music is brilliant in its composition. As a direct continuation of the German musical tradition from the Middle Ages to the present day.

    Your analysis from the content was the best of all reactions, I saw till now, top.
    The head is from the singer of rammstein.
    The woman was Germania
    Here my interpretation
    I'll try to summarize the scenes. I don't have to be right about everything either.
    In the so-called Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, also known as the Battle of Varus or Battle of Hermann, Germanic tribes led by the Cheruscan Prince destroyed three Roman legions
    After the First World War there was an eventful afterlife with fist fights; the pugilists earned some money to live on for themselves and their families
    The Hindenburg Drama. Germany had the largest airships (zepelins named after the builder). There was a great disaster in New York. To this day it is not clear whether it was an accident or an attack.
    Hammer and sickle symbolizes the German Democratic Republic (division after World War II)
    The monks symbolize the time of the 30 Years' War
    The Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 was a conflict for hegemony in the Holy Roman Empire and Europe that began as a religious war and ended as a territorial war.
    Start: Second Prague Defenestration
    Outcome: Peace of Westphalia; Peace of Münster
    According to estimates, the population of Germany fell from 16.5 million in 1618 to 10.5 million in 1648
    The hyperinflation of 1923
    Driven by the reparations payment by the victorious powers in the Peace of Versailles, which made Hitler's seizure of power possible
    Examples of price decline
    On June 9, 1923 in Berlin:
    1 egg - 800 marks
    1 liter of milk - 1440 marks
    1 kilo of potatoes - 5000 marks
    1 tram ride - 600 marks
    1 dollar was equal to 100,000 marks.
    On December 2, 1923 in Berlin:
    1 egg - 320 billion marks
    1 liter of milk - 360 billion marks
    1 kilo of potatoes - 90 billion marks
    1 tram ride - 50 billion marks
    1 dollar corresponded to 4.21 trillion marks.
    World War 2 and the extermination camps
    The stars on the men at the gallows represent the different prisoners
    Political prisoners, Jews, Sexually Different and Criminals.
    Germany developed rocket technology, jet aircraft and many other weapons of war.
    After the war they were happily taken over by the victors and the engineers also worked for the victorious powers
    Til in women's clothes
    RAF Red Army Faction was a terrorist group
    Bader (a man) and Meinhof (a woman were the masterminds. Kidnapping and killing of politicians and business leaders
    The fires
    Book burning in the Third Reich and witch burning in the Middle Ages
    Both evil factions embrace
    The little dogs with gas masks
    Symbolizes German soldiers in the First World War with weapons of gas destruction used by both sides
    The dogs represent the children of Germania. It is meant to symbolize that Germans follow orders like a good dog. Very drastic but Germans think very much in black and white. either good or evil. Other cultures think more in shades of gray
    I must have forgotten something or not interpreted it correctly.
    The song in the credits is Sonne by Rammstein

    This video is all about symbolic visualizations and phrases, used in the german history.
    The dog story reflects the insane vision of the "Herrenrasse" which spread out from top to bottom: Not only the people have been judged by "race", even the animals needed to be adjusted. Pigs, sheeps, cows and such, needed to be perfectionized due growing, which also included the puppies and best friends, like the german shepherd dog. Other "races" have been declared unworthy or "un-german".

    The album Carolus Rex they had released during that time is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding.
    The album was released with both a Swedish and English version, the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldier's view while the English is more from an outsider's view.
    It is the Swedish version they played at that show so be sure you have the subtitles on, I was at that show and all I can say is that you will not regret it.

    Ник, спасибо за эту реакцию! Ты, как всегда молодец и подмечаешь различные нюансы в клипе👍 Но этот клип без знания истории Германии действительно смотреть непросто.
    Красный лазерный луч как бы переносит нас в разные эпохи истории Германии.
    По поводу каннибализма. Судя по всему, это намек на то, как в Средние века церковники обжирали простых людей. Поскольку девушка олицетворяет Германию и ее "кушали", соответственно, церковники ослабляли государство.
    Собаки, которых родила Германия, относятся к породе леон-бергер. Наверное, здесь намекается, что в целом европейцы мало рожают детей (и немцы в том числе) и в будущем наступит момент, когда нация может исчезнуть. Это грубая сцена, но, если посмотреть правде в глаза, демография в Европе поправляется по большому счету за счет мигрантов...
    Клипы Rammstein - отдельный вид искусства, но даже у них есть особые клипы, которые западают в душу. Deutschland - один из них. И когда в конце играет обработанная под этот клип Sonne - это что-то невероятное.

    Ruby Comey is Germania - Black/Gold/Red, and she is a brilliant choice; not just is she stunning as such, her skin also gives a middle finger in the eye of all the right wing nutters, who would love the song for the wrong reasons.
    And Rammstein is not misogynists. That is as superficial a view as those who call them Nazis.

    "Сейчас поймаю тебя в сумку
    И сверкать ты будешь в ней
    Мне так хочется, чтоб стала ты моей!"

    Видно, сам себе он враг
    Надо-ж выдумать такое - во дурак!
    То парень к лесу мчится
    То к полю, то к ручью
    Всё поймать стремится
    Молнию!
    Утром по сельской дороге
    Медленно шёл ночной герой
    Весь лохматый и седой
    И улыбался

    What is up with the aspect ratio on the video dude?! Rammstein are in no way misogynistic! They are about one of the most inclusive bands around. People that don't bother to understand the lyrics and only see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear say stuff like that. It's a big catalogue of music, much of it about sex, death, drugs and a positive deluge of perversions, but all of it is simply commenting on the depths to which humans can sink and observing the human condition. Rammstein's only problem is that they are not for dumb people!

Germania has "Alsatians", very aggressive dogs. There is a German dog race very nice, children friendly, the "Leonbergers". These dogs almost died out in WWI and WWII - true story! Time travelers make sure that this race will live on. The dogs are symbols of the Germans. That's all. Nice reaction btw.

    In my view, the video is not controversial. It is actually a clear statement and describes how love of one's homeland relates to the state and nationalism. There is probably no love-hate relationship, at most an ambivalent relationship, because it is clearly stated: I can't give you my love. So there is no love for this side of Germany, no hate, but rejection and pain.
