    I’m German, and I’ve never heard that before. I’d be seriously weirded out by someone saying that or teaching it to their kids

      I have to admit that this is rather old. So old, in fact, that it does not refer to the Third Reich but the Kaiserreich.

        That’s better but not that by much. A few years ago Germany raided some very rich and very well-armed wackos who wanted to bring back the Kaiserreich.

            German conspiracy wackos and American ones have a lot in common.

            During COVID their bullshit ven diagram was a flat circle.

        still mentioned twice in the thread. It‘s fucked up how often one would come across Germans casually throwing around Nazi language, looking for confirmation and when not receiving it claiming it’s just innocent fun. HiHiHi

            you think people don’t use it in that context?

            also, because you‘re so adamant, I tried to find a source for your claim. I failed. Want to share?

              My source is my grandfather, who learned this during his vocational training, which predates the Nazis by quite a few years.
