Hello friends, today I come to talk about a new video clip, published 4 days ago and that has caused a lot of controversy because for a lot of people it is disrespectful. It has more than 15 million reproductions on YouTube. We talk about the song "Deutschland" by Rammstein.
This song is full of references to the bloodiest episodes that Germany has lived.
In the video of this song we can see the members of Rammstein dressed in stripes like the prisoners of a Nazi concentration camp.
MAIN TOPIC
The entire videoclip talks about the fact that some space explorers come to Earth, they learn about the history of Germany and participate in it.
The history of Germany is very violent.
Each of the members of the band is the main character of one of the moments in the story, along with a girl who is at all events, she becomes pregnant by the members of the band and the babies are all the members of the future of Germany that take her back to darkness and destruction.
FIRST ACT
The first historical act takes place in the first century and is called "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest"
It is a battle in which Germany defeated the Roman legions. 3 Roman legions in total were annihilated in this battle, about 30,000 people.
SECOND ACT
We go to the 20s. In the 1920s, Germany had recovered economically and therefore had time to spend it in leisure. And this leisure was boxing and fighting.
THIRD ACT
It's a scene from the 30s that all the media were talking about because it was very famous. We talk about when the Zeppelin "Hindeburg" collided.
About 36 people died and nowadays the humanity use airplanes :).
FOURTH ACT
Germany was divided in two in this act. But we're going to talk about the communist Germany. In this case we see some communists who are part of the unified socialist party of Germany, and also with them appears a person dressed as an astronaut.
FIFTH ACT
You see some monks walking among rats with torches to scare them away, this is a reference to the war of the 30 years. The rats are there because during those years several pests occurred.
In addition, we can see them eating a person and under the table there are more people making a small reference to the cannibal of Rothenburg.
SIXTH ACT
We return to the years after the First World War, where money in Germany was worth NOTHING. In the scene you can see the Rammstein singer who is being handcuffed by the policemen in a jail and the other prisoners throw him money because the money just was almost useless.
Sometimes printing the ticket was more expensive than the ticket itself.

SEVENTH ACT
We go to the second world war.
The scene begins showing the first rockets of the world, the V2.
At the same time that we see a nazi camp.
What Rammstein wanted to show here is technological success compared to the most macabre extortion.
Germany is VERY VERY much against Nazism, as evidenced by the fact that the "Mein Kampf", Hitler's book, was not put on sale until a few years ago.
Rammstein is breaking this rule. The German anthem was modified because the first sentence was "Germany above all" and this was unacceptable to them. But Rammstein, with his balls, say it in the videoclip.
EIGHTH ACT
Then we see an execution in a concentration camp.
It's not just Jews. Each of the 4 people who are going to be killed has a symbol on the shirt. The first is a homosexual, it has a pink triangle. The second is Jewish, with a yellow star. We see a red triangle, which was used for political prisoners and then we see a brown triangle that was used for gypsies.
In addition to this, there is a sign that says "forbidden to take photographs". Luckily, we have Rammstein to show us all of this.
NINTH ACT
We see a shot in which the group appears in a Mercedes car, imitating Hitler in the parades.
TENTH ACT
It is a burning of books that was a very common thing in Nazi Germany.
There is also reference to a terrorist group. This terrorist band killed a businessman who had been part of the Nazi regime.
ELEVENTH ACT
We see people with Molotov cocktails fighting with the police. This refers to the riots of May 1, 1987 in Berlin. Since then, May 1 almost always ends in riots with the police in which the police the police ends up crawling like in the end of the videoclip.
Videoclip from YouTube:
CONCLUSIONS

I give it a 5/10 (good pass)

I think that this is a genius song and video. If I was German I'd be proud that Rammstein had this courage to unveil the unpleasant truth.
