The whole Video will understand only Historians and Germans and these people also have to watch the video several times. The song is about the ambivalent relationship of Rammstein and many Germans to their country, because of the violent and cruel history with extensive human crimes, especially in recent history. Therefore the video features various events from German history, including Roman times, the Middle Ages, witch hunting and burning, Protestant Reformation, the November Revolution, the "Golden Twenties" and hyperinflation, Nazi book burnings, the Hindenburg disaster, the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, the Weimar Republic, the Red Army Fraction (violent anti-capitalist alliance of young people and students against Nazis in high state and economy positions in post-war Germany and also a anti-american alliance because of the Korea and Vietnam war, which turn into dangerous terrorists), and the division of the country into West and East Germany including the Uprising June 17 in East Germany
A lot of people do not understand the scenes with the dogs. This breed of dogs are not German Shepards, but Leonberger. This breed of dog narrowly escaped extinction during the First and Second World Wars and is symbolic of the German people, whose existence was also strongly threatened in those wars - both now have a second existential chance.
Wow, I only caught a handful of those references.
Thank you for the insightful comment 🔥
Actually with the dogs you'll notice the motif with multiple dogs in the clip and yeah you are right about them representing common people - wolves in the forest, Dobermans in the West German scenes, German sheps in the war scenes and one unidentified dog (which might be a Rottweiler) briefly and traumatically being I guess metaphorically screwed by the east German leadership. My take is dogs are likeable and loyal but also not choosy about their masters and can be led astray easily and the future scenes with the Leonbergers are both hopeful as you say and foreboding in that there's a fear that they will still be easily led astray again. It's such a layered clip that it's easy to see so many possible interpretations of the imagery and to be honest I think thats deliberate. Theres hope and fear and beauty and horror all mixed up. Spiritually when you watch "Sonne" afterward and realise they cast a Russian Actress the political subtext that may be intentionally in that hits home too. so much of their stuff is layered with subtext that it's really easy to goback and get somethign new from old clips.
there is also the far left terrorist attacks of the 70ies seen after the nazi scene
They are supposed to be german sheperhounds. This scene does not represent a second chance, it means germania gave birth to obedient fools, bread by technocrates and in the future Germany is dead. It shows that Rammstein thinks grimm about the present and is actualy a pretty damning statement.
im half german half english and i know what you mean.
It's basically their love hate relationship with germany
The same feeling to my country‼️
Greetings from Munich... 😎👌
maybe you try a version with subtitles, it's about the history of Germany from 2000 Years ago till now the lasers represent different timelines.
Rammstein’s Deutschland takes us on a thrilling, violent, and moving journey through German history. At over nine minutes, it gives us a panorama of events and historical and mythical figures, and there are so many references and Easter eggs that fans and commentators will be poring over it for some time to come.
The video opens in AD 16, on the ‘barbarian’ side of the limes, the border of the Roman Empire. Roman soldiers creep through the woods in the aftermath of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The Romans were ambushed by an alliance of Germanic Tribes, led by a chieftain called Arminius (the original Hermann the German). Three legionary standards were captured, a loss symbolic and moral, as well as physical, and decades were spent trying to recover them. Rome never again attempted to take the lands east of the River Rhine, known as Germania.
‘Germania’ refers not just to a place, somewhere partly defined by where it isn’t (Rome) as well as where it is, but also to a national figurehead, traditionally representing the German people. Germania is a strong woman, usually armour-clad and battle-ready. Various symbols appear with her, among them a breastplate with an eagle, a black, red, and gold flag, and a crown. Look out for these in the video - they come up again and again - and the colours of the contemporary flag are there in every scene.
We get our first glimpse of Germania here (played by Ruby Commey), who stands holding Till Lindemann’s severed head. Next, astronauts appear carrying a metal and glass box shaped like a coffin. In the background we see a U-boat - a German submarine, used in World Wars I and II. Then we move to a scene set at a boxing match which takes us to Weimar Germany (1918-1933), a period known for its political instability but also greater cultural liberalism. Here, Germania appears in the cabaret costume of a flapper girl, and the boxers fight with knuckle-dusters as a crowd cheers them on.
We see the former East Germany, complete with busts of Marx and Lenin, the national emblem of East Germany, and a lookalike of the long-serving, insular, and repressive GDR leader Erich Honecker. There’s another astronaut, or rather a cosmonaut: Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space, who flew with the USSR’s space program (and who’s also a character in the 2003 film, Good Bye Lenin!). Medieval monks feast grotesquely on the supine Germania, tearing sauerkraut and sausage from Ruby Commey’s body, prison inmates are beaten by guards dressed in police and military uniforms from different historical periods.
The most obviously shocking scene references the Holocaust and the Nazi period. Four members of the band, in the striped uniforms of camp inmates, wait at the gallows, about to be hanged. They wear the cloth emblems used to identify their ‘crimes’: a pink triangle for homosexual prisoners, a yellow star for Jewish prisoners, a red and yellow star for Jewish political prisoners.
This sequence, teased in an earlier promo video, has already caused controversy. Have Rammstein the right to do this? Do they trivialise the suffering of Holocaust victims? How can they justify using Holocaust imagery to promote their new video? These are important questions that are part of a much bigger debate about the ethics of using the Holocaust in art and media.
Other scenes include the band walking away from a flaming airship, referring to the 1937 Hindenburg Disaster, in which 36 people died. Rats scuttle across the floor when the monks first appear, suggesting the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a legend with origins in the 13th century.
Germania walks towards the camera in a leather jacket, gold jewellery and a string of bullets across her chest, resembling the chariot drawn by four horses (the ‘Quadriga’) on top of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The band members’ heads are shown as white marble busts, taking us to the 19th century Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, built as German Hall of Fame, its sculpted heads of German worthies on display to this day.
In the prison, hundreds of banknotes fall from above, suggesting the devastating hyperinflation Germany suffered in the 1920s. Nazis burn books, intercut with religious fanatics burning witches. We recognise members of the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof group), a militant organisation active in the 1970s in West Germany. And in a blink-or-you-miss-it exchange, we are reminded of the much-criticised relationship between the churches and the state during the Third Reich.
Each scene captures in a moment the icons of an era, and the video cuts between them more and more frenetically as it goes on. Events bleed into each other, linked by the presence of the band members and the red laser beam that appears throughout the video, a ‘roter Faden’ (red thread or central theme), connecting each event.
Germany engages with its history in a very particular way. Try to imagine the video about Britain, with Britannia played by Ruby Commey. What would the equivalent events be? Quite a few of the tableaux might be similar - Romans, Crusaders, monks, 18th-century soldiers, collarless shirts and bareknuckle boxing - but would it have the same impact?
There’s no affection, and perhaps not much hope: its pessimistic tone seems to be quite an off-brand message for post-1989 Germany, which wants to acknowledge its past critically, while also looking to its future as a state at the heart of Europe. And actually, while we get a lot of medieval and twentieth-century history, the video’s tour through the past seems to stop in the late 1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and Reunification of East and West Germany. Instead, we jump into the future, where the space-suited band take Germania into the unknown, travelling in that coffin-shaped glass box.
There’s an echo of the video for Sonne, where Snow White is trapped in a glass coffin. In fact, a piano version of Sonne plays over the end credits of Deutschland. This is a useful link for understanding something of what Rammstein is doing here. In Sonne, where the band’s characters free themselves of Snow White (naturally, they’ve been her sex-slaves), only to realise that they have made a mistake and long for her return, the overwhelming feeling of Deutschland seems to be that when it comes to Germania (or Germany): you can’t love her, and you can’t live without her.
With "Sonne" it's hard for me not to see the hidden subtext of them hiring a Russian actress as Snow White - it feels deliberate and a comment on the East German regime most of them grew up under. They love to layer their clips with so many layers it's fascinating to look at them and speculate just how deliberate everything is but I suspect most things are.
To make it really short: They are basically telling the story of Germany and how they want to love Germany but damn it at the same time for it's history
Edit: might be worth checking out the english lyrics :)
To be precise: They show primarily the darker side of German history...
Bist aus Deutschland? :P
"These are just the credits…" - the disrespect of the year.
Love Rammstein ❤️
The people in the spacesuits are explorers (archaeologists) from the future who examine the remains of Germany (red laser scanners) and thus gain an insight into the history of this country. The black woman symbolizes the personification of Germany.
In the different epochs it is shown how she sympathizes with the Nazis, sits at the table with the communists, how she is held hostage by left-wing terrorists (RAF - Red Army Faction) or how the church feasts on her.
This video is a masterpiece.
The song is about wanting to love Germany, but not being able to because of its terrible past.
It is a history lesson on Germany!! Starting back centuries and centuries ago!
And... just my personal suggestion ... NEVER EVER skip the credits of a Rammstein Video!!!!! EVER!!!!!!
Basically it's the group showing their Love/hate with Germany "deine liebe ist Fluch und Segen" "your love is a Blessing and a curse" "Deutschland, meine liebe kann ich dir nicht geben" "Germany, my love i cannot give you"
Great reaction to a very Deep, beautiful and powerful song and video.
Loved your reaction and confusion 😃
Knowing how you like to analyse every single line of text in Rammstein songs, I knew that this one will bring us a total system overload 😉
Don't worry, it is natural for anyone who isn't deep into German history and doesn't know German well (Till makes a great wordsmith, so many subtle references happen here). So much is happening in lyrics and in the video, so many historical references, so much symbolism, that watching it 10 times still would leave anybody with some details unexplained... After seeing it countless times I still manage to find some tiny details that I didn't notice before... 😍
This video is just perfect, I love how much effort they've put into it - and the result is just stunning! I think it is the best music video created ever by anyone!
Have a great day! 😁
Shame you cut it short, the piano (from the song Sonne) is beautiful.
The song touch’s over 2000 years of German history
Welcome to 2000 years of German history
😲😅
Greetings from Germany 😄
"Deutschland, deine Liebe ist Fluch und Segen. Deutschland, meine Liebe kann ich dir nicht geben."
"Germany, your love is curse and blessing.
Germany, my love I can not give you."
the main message of the song is
the very element of German patriotism: inner conflict of pride of history but also damnation for the atrocities.
This is what it means to be a German. Germans know from historic experience to what people are capable of, and thus treasure criticism of one's own country as the highest form of patriotism. Because once uncritical thinking takes hold, atrocities happen...
So the importance of showing and talking about the dark past and not to hide it, even if inconvenient and shameful is very important. A society bearing that kind of burden is richer in experience and thus better set up for the future not to repeat past mistakes currently again gaining momentum worldwide. Because we know what we (not only as Germans but humans overall) are capable of once critical reason is passed for blind loyalty to ideology and nationalistic identity.
Maybe a lesson Americans could learn from history and cultural exchange, rather than its own future experience...
Just a thought.
No offense intended.
Have a nice day, stay save.
To understand the video - User "chesaak" wrote this (on another reaction video):
Rammstein really uses a lot of symbols in this song. The real meaning only emerges with the lyrics and the video together. You really have to analyze it more closely and then you will understand the deeper meaning. In this song the Middle Ages, the time of the Romans, the GDR - these historical events are presented in different roles. Of course, the theme of the Nazi era and the persecution of the Jews is also addressed, although its presentation does not differ from the style of the other scenes. A constant in the entire video is a woman who appears as a personified Germany in the different epochs. If you know this woman is representing germany and looking to the video again you will see so much more. 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!
Sometimes as a victim, sometimes as a perpetrator. In the text there are also several sections that contradict each other, e.g. "Will love and damn you". Statements like these express Germany's good and bad sides on the one hand. One of the passages like "so young and yet so old". This means that German history began early. But through certain events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the founding of the GDR through which a new era began for Germany. "one can love you and yet hate you!" It is a question of whether you can be proud of your country or not. "Your love is a curse and a blessing. I cannot give you my love." Germany is aware of the good but also dark times and many see the dark times as so extreme that it is difficult to give your country your love and pride. I must have overlooked a few things in the video, but those are the parts that stand out. I was born and raised in Germany myself and feel the same when it comes to being proud of my country. As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. 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. 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. he short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
Here the lyrics in english:
You (You have, you have, you have, you have)
Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried)
Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated)
United in heart (United, united, united, united)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
Have been together for so long (You are, you are, you are, you are)
Your breath's cold (So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The heart in flames (So hot, so hot, so hot, so hot)
You (You can, you can, you can, you can)
I (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We (We are, we are, we are, we are)
You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany!
[Verse 2]
I (You have, you have, you have, you have)
I never want to leave you (You cry, you cry, you cry, you cry)
One can love you (You love, you love, you love, you love)
And want to hate you (You hate, you hate, you hate, you hate)
Presumptuous, superior
Take over, hand over/puke
Surprise, invade
Germany, Germany above everything
[Chorus]
Germany - my heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - your breath is cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and a blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
Germany!
[Bridge]
You
I
We
All of you
You (superior/overpowering, unnecessary)
I (Übermenschen weary)
We (The higher you climb, the further you fall)
You (Germany, Germany above everything)
[Chorus]
Germany - your heart in flames
Want to love and damn you
Germany - my breath's cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany - your love
Is a curse and blessing
Germany - my love
I can't give you
Germany!
"...Just the credits ..." Lmao. If u love music listen always to the end and not interrupt a piece of art. Because it's the whole thing the artist wants to deliver. If they wouldn't want it they wouldn't have included that in the video. It's like watching only 2/3 of Mina Lisa and not the whole picture.
For the most part the other guys here explained what the video is about. But i haven't read (maybe overlooked?) that the two similar looking guys fighting with brass nuckles symbolizing West Germany and East Germany in times when Germany was divided. I really like it that Germany is represented by not only a female, but a colored female.Great Choice.
great reaction!
The Outro is the reflection of the Things you See before. The Song called "Sonne" from the Album Klavier. This "Movie" is a masterpiece
"Deine Liebe ist Fluch und Segen" = your (Germany's) love is a curse and a gift
I like your reactions👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
So young (First established German Nation founded in 1871, current Germany is from 1990) - yet so old (Germanic Tribes, Kingdoms, Dukedoms, microstates and the history and culture of the People of Germania Magna is more than 2000Years old)
You got the lyrics. The red thread throughout the video is the black lady who represents Germany and our messy history.
It's the German history from 2000 years ago until now and the future.
Big mistake my friend 😉😉 - Like many others, you don't look at the credits in full either. Like the actual video, these are a milestone and, in my opinion, you need to let what you see have an effect.
Rammstein's Deutschland or "A short story of German history" The scenes all depict certain aspects of German history from the Battle of the Teutoburg Wald (9 A.D.) up to the 1970s and beyond. (Mostly the not so good stuff).
Ich Liebe Rammstein 😍💕
You should watch the video from "three arrows" if you want the whole story.
I love how the first verse starts with "Du hast" and the second one starts with "Ich will"
Which is their 2 most famous songs
Maybe it's an easter egg, maybe i'm overthinking😂
Two thousand years of history in one clip😅
Damn, my guy is buffed
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. Here in this reaction unfortunately cut short. :-(
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 Emperor Germanicus. 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 socialst 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.

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 umphteeth 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 😄

I feel like the "so jung und doch so alt" (so young and yet so old) can be interpreted as:
Germany is still adapting and learning instead of stagnating in it's ways;
and is trying to distance itself from the not so friendly times pre 1945, basically modern germany was born 1945. (so young)
(it might also refer to and even earlier event: the "Mauerfall" when East and Westgermany was united again, some of the consquences of the split are still felt today)
And yet Germany has alot of history and has gone through so much, which you shouldn't/can't forget. Good or Bad. (so old).
He then goes on to say "Your love is a curse and a blessing, my love I can't give you" which I think is because of Germanys dark past.
Since most people still aren't comfortable strongly supporting Germany,
since associations with national socialism will be easily made; (most) Germans don't want to be associated with that.
Some see publicly waving the german flag (the current one, not one of the Nazi ones) is already leaning too far towards national socialism,
even if you're just proud to be part of current Germany.
But thats just my two Pfennige.
You can't never read too deep in Rammstein, especially when you guess what's going on just by video, although you are partially right 😁
Sorry @megatwingo but not this time))

That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.

The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. 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 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 socialst 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: My interpretation of the glass coffin is Little Snow White in space, like I wrote before (this part was edited away from the longer original video by somebody in this reaction video).
PPPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.

Swastik symbol actually belongs to India, it is used in auspicious work. But the Nazis misused it and printed it in reverse. By the way, Rammstein is a great band.
When it comes to Rammstein, you definitely should react to their live performances. They're much better than any official videos out there.
so young and yet so old probably refers to that the german people is very old but the actual united german state was formed 1871
I only could find one other reaction to Rammstein on your channel (America) and it's blocked.
If you do more Rammstein, you should pick the live videos (especially live from Paris and live from Madison Square Garden for good quality) and make the window for the original video very small to avoid getting blocked.
Deutschland is artistically a great video but not my favorite song. Please check out Feuer Frei (a great workout song), Ich Tu Dir Weh and Engel (all live).
Greetings from Germany (I almost wrote HangovergangGermany 😂)
The main clue of the meaning of the song to me is the lyrics....meine liebe kann ich dir nicht geben
A Rollercoaster trough the german history..... ;)
maybe a reaction about "Keine Lust" (no desire) will come from you soon ;-D
Это не просто политика. Это жизнь и наша история. Я из России.
😂😊👍🏻 You are so puzzled and fascinated! It is always very interesting to watch you! Your are the one of the best reaction-men on RUclips ! 😘💋🇷🇺
React to Rammstein Mein Teil live
I think it's fair to say that Germany is killing it these days.
Cool reaction! Thank you. If you want some extra details to the historical content and what represents what, then watch this: "Deutschland by Rammstein: An Analysis" by Three Arrows.
It wouldt have helped reading the lyrics BEFORE watching the video
and I can't help what my grandpa did .. or any other grandpa from a German at that time .. but at the moment it seems to me as if we Germans are responsible for everything that happens in this world!
You can see what's going on in Europe .. now in Poland .. everyone wants to go to Germany .. and we are fed up .. that's it!
Germany your love is a curse and a blessing at the same time.... Want to love you and also hate you.... Germany Germany my love i can not give to you....
GOOD réact ! more rammstein please. IF you like message you can look and listen to GOJIRA , the official clip "amazonia" and "another world" in live "the gift or gilt" ; it's a french group . kiss from France coco.
what are they doing in Jerusalem, for example
some pieces are hard to swallow
Why many people don’t watch video to the end?
good try for first watching, you understand more than some germans, good job
Pochodzisz z Polski?
I can not help it
Shocked…?????😂
Roman are not medieval far away.....
It's more of a portrayal of how humanity doesn't change. It is specifically depicting monumental times in Germany's history which reflect this theme of repetition. Germany though is exceptional in this regard bc how its actions affected the rest of the world in a very destructive yet reconstructive way. It's cyclical just like all suffering and cruelty is.
it just nerds me
well to be true i am german and didnt figure it out eather but yes we are young (democraty) and old the many fights whatis now of avantage with industry to be middle of europe was a pest if france had a war with denmark where did they go though or poland agains what every we where always middle in fights and they blame us we attacked first in first world war look how usa reacted with a tiny island called kuba
Or Hawai, where some US Battleships arrived and told the Queen of Hawaii "Sign this paper of Surrender or our Ships will bomb you back to stone age".
Different periods of their history. Including nazism, communism…..the Munich shootings..mixed emotions about it.
I dont think you get more People on your Channel, if you only react to a 2 year old Video.
It give 50 Videos like that and they understand whats going on what you didnt.
Sorry iam a German
its germany history... all bad an some gof
your muscles too much ... I still like you. Think you got 2000 years of Germanic/German history .... that song has so much info....
Bodybuilder reacts. hahaha what the F...
These are not good people..I see this every day
Well, I suppose you tried. Unfortunately U.S. citizens seem to know nothing of European history - it's not Plymouth Rock or George Washington is it? As it is, you just understood that there were bad bits involved, none of the real meaning. Do more research - with Rammstein, you have to.
sorry
dude, political something ? this song is about the german ppl, the history of germany and feelings. its a time travel and a message. there is absolutely nothing political. if you want to have political just do a reaction to "america" official vid from rammstein.
You stop the Video to much and destroy this Look to the end and than you can talk this is the german history you understand . Tip for the future dont talk midden in the video destroyer hi from Hamburg Germany
