Before we get carried away, lads, let's remember that not every German military song "came out the "National Socialist Terror Regime"". Many of them date from before Germany was unified and from Imperial Austria. If he wants to sing one that his German friends are happy with, then what's the problem? Is starting a war that you lose a disqualification to having a military history and culture? The Treaty of Versailles robbed the Germans of their dignity and it seems odd that nothing has been learned from that. Apart from a couple of megalomaniac inspired aberrations, they have a proud and honourable history. It's little wonder that they are reluctant to put combat Units in the field with this continuing over sensitivity.
