Girl, if you arent cheating, you are amazing! And yes, the colours are black (her skin), gold (the armour), and red (eyes,lipstick). The german flag. Thats 100 points. Here, take them ;)
And we are running through parts of our not so nice history. arminius, the crusades, reformation wars, weimar republic, 3. reich, gdr & raf. history repeating the dog is representing phoenix. but wait... there was way more.
such an intelligent reaction from you!!! you got a new sub here!!! you are the first reactor to notice the black, red and gold in the video- smart and beautiful!
Great reaction. I had to watch the video more than once to notice the black-red-gold background. And I only realised at the end that the woman represents Germania - you understood that very quickly.
Great reaction. You are very perceptive and sensitive. There are so many symbols in the video that even if one knows history well (and I am a history teacher), it is not enough to register and decipher them all on the first viewing. You are perhaps the first reactor to notice the colors of the German flag (this is one of the reasons why Germany is represented by a black girl wearing gold and red lipstick). But if you read the credits - the very first single says that the actress played Germania (and you wouldn't have to doubt it)
The piano song you hear is the Rammstein song 'Sonne', actually written for the boxer Vitali Klitschko in the 90s, but the management thought the song is too hard for him, so till changed the lyrics and revamped the song completely.
Wow. What a smart woman you are. I like that! Your absolutely right with your analysis. From the beginning on we germans consider our country as a female. We never had a normal relationship to our country in all these years and the video shows it in short scenes. In the beginning we were strong but devided in tribes with low technique. Then these tribes arise and smash the roman empire. Then we were a long time weak, with more than 300 soverein small parts. 150 years ago we firstly became a nation and thought we are strong again. After WWI we were smashed down and had been humiliated which leads to WWII with all these massacres. Afterwards divided we now are permanently aware what we have done and banned patriotism asgood as we can. You can feel all that in their song.
Guten Abend Tray, danke, großartige Reaktion und Analyse! You are such a smart woman, you blew me away by identifying "Germania magna" as the part of Germany not occupied by the Romans, not many Germans know this, and you got many details on first watching and I was amazed how quickly you got that Ruth was playing "Germania", a personification of Germany... About all the details you already got enough food for thought in the other comments, so all I have to say is how great thou art! And Rammstein too... Did you watch "Dicke Titten" already? If so I missed it ... Hab' noch einen schönen Abend und gute Nacht!
Pretty good analysis of what the video is about. The woman indeed represents Germany, oder better the symbolic figure Germania. Ruth Comney, the actress, is actually German, so a pretty good representation of how diverse Germany was and is, and most if not all of her style and wardrobe contain black/red/gold. The video is a ride through German history, mainly the not so pretty parts, hence the love/hate relationship. Don´t try to get everything in this video at once, it can be watched a dozen times and still there are new symbolisms to be discovered.
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 😄 Greetings Mega
PS: UA-cam 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.
Wow thanks for pointing all these out, didn’t notice some of the things you mentioned like the glass coffin… I appreciate taking out your time for this
Wow!!!!!! I've seen this video probably 100 times and for you to point out the colors in the video relating to the German flag was genius. I never saw that. You are very estudious.
You are one of the most intelligent reactors to that video, I watched. For example, I watched this video so many times, but I never noticed that black red gold - thing. Shout out to you, and I haha watch other reactions from you, soon...
One that gets it! !!! History of the country we fought yet still love! I'm not german but my great grandfather fought against germans.... Also against comunism later on... My grandpa also fought against comunism.... So did my father in '89.... Now it seems like i will have to do It also.... I wish nobody harm!! But if u step on Europe... We will bring another world war!! Europe is sacred and we Are all willing to die for it! Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Poland slovakia,Slovenia, Denmark and Finland... Norway.... Every country!!!!we Are willing to die for every meter of those counties! Make no Mistake! Europa is United!
10:30 _"Listen to that.. that piano is like sadness with a little bit of hope"_ Not exactly. It's the piano version of the song 'Sonne'.. also by Rammstein. I guess you haven't heard/watched that song/video yet else you would have known that.
Love your reaction. You're clearly out of your depth, but you get a lot of the essence and emotions right, which I think is amazing! For instance you got the black, red and gold right and that the actress represents Germania. An interesting reason they chose a black woman is part of that: She's represents the black in the flag and often wears gold and red.
Very very intelegent woman! Me as a german (not speaking for all germans) fell this song. It goes thro history. All the cruelty all the violance. How germany get a union. How seperate we are. With all the love and all the hate. Not only for the country or the goverment even the people. Everything bad happens not by it self, it was always germans do terrible thing to germans. It was always a fight for german and against germans by germans include goverment. In video you can see members of the RAF, many call them Terrorists, some call them rebels, other freedom fighters. It shows how divide germany is.
@@Symplytraciereacts But you need very much Background informations, and a very open mind, sometimes there is not just "one truth". Sometimes, some things have many different point of view. But my respect for your open mind. And the respect you show as you see 1000 Years of German History. The First German "King" (Kaiser) lifes from 912 to 973. German History is not only that (sorry) FUCKING Nazi thing. We are such more. Yes some not... but that is another story. I know the fact that Germany is just known for Nazi and Bavaria culture. Over heard about "Hanse"? (North Germany). Alone the Story of the RAF is very interesting. It shows how Goverment make a freedom movement to terrorists. How thing escelate very quickly. And the winner write the history.

She ist "Germania" like the mother and symbol for Germany. Since 1000 years german people did horrible things to others, in the name of communistic Germany DDR, Nazi Germany, in the Name of German Kings, Religion and newer German Terrorrist groups like RAF in the 1970 and 1980s. The Scene where the monks eat "Germania" alive I guess means that in the middle ages the farmers didnt own the land. The Church or the kings/knights where the landlords and the farmers had to give them a part of their harvest. So many people had less to eat and a few eat most of the food. So long long time violance happend in the name of "Deutschland"
So much going on. Many epochs of our nation. Would be cool to see your reaction when doing "Ausländer". My girlfriend, also (i assume) Nigerian did not like it at all because she doesn't understand Rammstein. She thought it's racist... but it's not.
The astronauts are scanning artifacts from Germany, statues of old kings and emperors, with red lasers (i.e. when the title of the video is lit up), and so are the scenes in history scanned by lasers. And when multiple lasers appear, when people force certain viewpoints on history, the scenes start to collapse. What else is there? During the roaring 20s, fascism and communism fight for the favor of Germany. During the dark ages, Germany is consumed by the church, leaving pieces of leftovers for the rats. imho, the prison is Spandau, a prison that held prisoners of all eras! During the 60s and 70s, Germany flaunts her wealth but she has to be protected because of threats from all over. Lastly, Germany is pregnant in the future, among the astronauts. She'll leave a legacy to the world, but it's only "German shepherd dogs" that the world will remember. There's other layers, too. Of course, the lyrics have two, sometimes even three interpretations and meanings. And even the melody and some of the images are references to older tracks. It's a masterpiece. And there's much more, initially I wrote about 3 DIN A4 pages about this video.
You are as smart and sharp as you are prett... beautiful. You are beautiful, with all your life and enthusiasm and smiles, you are above pretty. But you are also sharp, their music is intended to make your brain busy. Apart from being fantastic and beautiful in the role, Ruby Commey is also a big, fat finger in the face of the right wing nutters, who would like this song for all the wrong reasons.
Sorry for bad english - it's not my native language. In this work, to call it a song, my tongue will not turn, knowledge of pre-Christian, Catholic medieval history, philosophical understanding of the morality of all historical stages in the development of Western society and in particular Germany, as a single body of the entire Anglo-Saxon worldview, are woven. Germany is constantly from century to century pregnant with violence and from century to century gives birth to "dogs of war". If you look closely, you will notice it in this video. And if 2000 years ago the Germanic tribes were raped by the Roman Empire with its eternal and unquenchable thirst for enrichment and enslavement of new lands and peoples, then she, Germany, gave birth to monsters - "dogs of war". Britain and her niece the United States, again for the sake of enrichment (weapons are expensive) led Germany to the 1st and 2nd World Wars. And although at the end it is shown that this possessed black woman (by the way, another hidden or, on the contrary, open to those who understand the meaning of a black woman - a symbol of the black Soul) is sent into space in a sarcophagus, the last frames show the hidden (so far hidden) pantheon of this goddess of Violence and her faithful servants - "dogs of war".
Arrogant Europeans love to throw out insults to make themselves feel smart. Brillant! Here is some history for you the German's who settled in England created something good , the German's who stayed behind in Germany created many bad things.
Great reaction. Your interpretation is on point. Thank you. Greetings from Germany
Rammstein ist mist und die Texte Dreck
Girl, if you arent cheating, you are amazing! And yes, the colours are black (her skin), gold (the armour), and red (eyes,lipstick). The german flag. Thats 100 points. Here, take them ;)
great intuition indeed! I watch this video since its dropping and I didn't noticed this particular.
And we are running through parts of our not so nice history. arminius, the crusades, reformation wars, weimar republic, 3. reich, gdr & raf. history repeating the dog is representing phoenix. but wait... there was way more.
such an intelligent reaction from you!!! you got a new sub here!!! you are the first reactor to notice the black, red and gold in the video- smart and beautiful!
Awww thanks much, so glad 😀
Thank u for reaction :) love and greetings from Germany
Very smart, that you recocnised her as Germany (Germania)!
Great reaction. I had to watch the video more than once to notice the black-red-gold background. And I only realised at the end that the woman represents Germania - you understood that very quickly.
They did an awesome job with the graphic. So glad you relate with my perspective. Thanks 😊
Great reaction. You are very perceptive and sensitive. There are so many symbols in the video that even if one knows history well (and I am a history teacher), it is not enough to register and decipher them all on the first viewing.

But if you read the credits - the very first single says that the actress played Germania (and you wouldn't have to doubt it)
Wow I didn’t realise it was written in the credits 😄 I wasn’t even sure of it… Thanks much such a motivational comment
She is also black to show the finger to all rasists... Germania the personification of germany represented by a black girl.
Do you show this video in lessons? If my history teacher would have shown such a video it would have been more interesting.
The piano song you hear is the Rammstein song 'Sonne', actually written for the boxer Vitali Klitschko in the 90s, but the management thought the song is too hard for him, so till changed the lyrics and revamped the song completely.

Yes, seems she's much more clever than most reactors...🙂

Great reaction from a Smart girl!!
Spot on!
Thanks 😊
Thanks , very good reaction . You can also look at Rammstein Video . Ohne dich ….Zeit ….Du hast ,live in Paris …. Angst ………
I’ve seen a few from this list, but I’ll definitely check out the other ones you mentioned
Hola, a través de sus comentarios he podido conocer parte de la historia de Alemania, es muy interesante. Saludos desde Perú 🤗
Nice, that you don't mind that it is sooo "old"...
What a good luck for us, that is isn't much older.🙂
Pretty good analysis of what the video is about.
The woman indeed represents Germany, oder better the symbolic figure Germania.
Ruth Comney, the actress, is actually German, so a pretty good representation of how diverse Germany was and is, and most if not all of her style and wardrobe contain black/red/gold.
The video is a ride through German history, mainly the not so pretty parts, hence the love/hate relationship.
Don´t try to get everything in this video at once, it can be watched a dozen times and still there are new symbolisms to be discovered.
Hahaha thanks, honestly it’s impossible to get everything in this video at once, I could sense it’s deep history… thanks much for explaining
Congratulations on 30,000 subscribers! You deserve way more.🥳🥳🎉🎉
Thanks much my dear friend
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 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 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.

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 😄

PS: UA-cam 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.
Wow thanks for pointing all these out, didn’t notice some of the things you mentioned like the glass coffin… I appreciate taking out your time for this
@@Symplytraciereacts
I'm glad if I was able to help! :)
Wow!!!!!! I've seen this video probably 100 times and for you to point out the colors in the video relating to the German flag was genius. I never saw that. You are very estudious.
You are one of the most intelligent reactors to that video, I watched. For example, I watched this video so many times, but I never noticed that black red gold - thing. Shout out to you, and I haha watch other reactions from you, soon...
Really spot on, great reaction.
One that gets it! !!! History of the country we fought yet still love! I'm not german but my great grandfather fought against germans.... Also against comunism later on... My grandpa also fought against comunism.... So did my father in '89.... Now it seems like i will have to do It also.... I wish nobody harm!! But if u step on Europe... We will bring another world war!! Europe is sacred and we Are all willing to die for it! Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Poland slovakia,Slovenia, Denmark and Finland... Norway.... Every country!!!!we Are willing to die for every meter of those counties! Make no Mistake! Europa is United!
That is one vision of this country, my country. But the truth is, to live with each other!
Well done for your interpretation on a 1st viewing, well done 👍 thanks 🙏
Your so right and smart. Greetings from Germany
You're so smart! I'm impressed
The dogs are Leonbergers, similar German Shepherds.
They were efficient war dogs
that almost went extinct after the two World Wars.
Yes yes , she is germania, well deduce, thanks for rhe video.
beautiful mind
10:30 _"Listen to that.. that piano is like sadness with a little bit of hope"_
Not exactly.
It's the piano version of the song 'Sonne'.. also by Rammstein.
I guess you haven't heard/watched that song/video yet else you would have known that.
really smart reaction for a first watching...would call it "smart" even if it has been the 2nd or 3rd 🙂
Love your reaction. You're clearly out of your depth, but you get a lot of the essence and emotions right, which I think is amazing! For instance you got the black, red and gold right and that the actress represents Germania. An interesting reason they chose a black woman is part of that: She's represents the black in the flag and often wears gold and red.
Brilliant comments!
One of the best bands of our time!Thank you, dear, for the excellent reaction.🔥👍🌹🥰🇷🇺
Thank you my dear friend, always ❤️
You could react to "Amerika" or "Ausländer" from them. More to analyze.
Guter Kommentar
✌️🖤❤️💛
Good 👍
La mujer es Alemania por los colores de la bandera, rojo - negro - amarillo , por esa sale que outfit de oro y rojo
10:14 Maybe it's because of Germany's history was black, red and gold..?
Very very intelegent woman!
Me as a german (not speaking for all germans) fell this song. It goes thro history. All the cruelty all the violance. How germany get a union. How seperate we are. With all the love and all the hate. Not only for the country or the goverment even the people. Everything bad happens not by it self, it was always germans do terrible thing to germans. It was always a fight for german and against germans by germans include goverment. In video you can see members of the RAF, many call them Terrorists, some call them rebels, other freedom fighters. It shows how divide germany is.
Wow, so deep, Rammstein did an amazing job here with the storyline 🥹
@@Symplytraciereacts But you need very much Background informations, and a very open mind, sometimes there is not just "one truth". Sometimes, some things have many different point of view.
But my respect for your open mind. And the respect you show as you see 1000 Years of German History. The First German "King" (Kaiser) lifes from 912 to 973.
German History is not only that (sorry) FUCKING Nazi thing. We are such more. Yes some not... but that is another story. I know the fact that Germany is just known for Nazi and Bavaria culture. Over heard about "Hanse"? (North Germany).
Alone the Story of the RAF is very interesting. It shows how Goverment make a freedom movement to terrorists. How thing escelate very quickly. And the winner write the history.

She ist "Germania" like the mother and symbol for Germany. Since 1000 years german people did horrible things to others, in the name of communistic Germany DDR, Nazi Germany, in the Name of German Kings, Religion and newer German Terrorrist groups like RAF in the 1970 and 1980s. The Scene where the monks eat "Germania" alive I guess means that in the middle ages the farmers didnt own the land. The Church or the kings/knights where the landlords and the farmers had to give them a part of their harvest. So many people had less to eat and a few eat most of the food. So long long time violance happend in the name of "Deutschland"
Omg wow! I knew this had to be deep history, thanks for the info
So much going on. Many epochs of our nation. Would be cool to see your reaction when doing "Ausländer". My girlfriend, also (i assume) Nigerian did not like it at all because she doesn't understand Rammstein. She thought it's racist... but it's not.
With the black Woman they wanted to show the diversity of today 's Germany.
And you was right, it was a ride through our history.
They outdid this one 👏🏾💯
The astronauts are scanning artifacts from Germany, statues of old kings and emperors, with red lasers (i.e. when the title of the video is lit up), and so are the scenes in history scanned by lasers. And when multiple lasers appear, when people force certain viewpoints on history, the scenes start to collapse.
What else is there?
During the roaring 20s, fascism and communism fight for the favor of Germany. During the dark ages, Germany is consumed by the church, leaving pieces of leftovers for the rats. imho, the prison is Spandau, a prison that held prisoners of all eras!
During the 60s and 70s, Germany flaunts her wealth but she has to be protected because of threats from all over.
Lastly, Germany is pregnant in the future, among the astronauts. She'll leave a legacy to the world, but it's only "German shepherd dogs" that the world will remember.
There's other layers, too. Of course, the lyrics have two, sometimes even three interpretations and meanings. And even the melody and some of the images are references to older tracks.
It's a masterpiece. And there's much more, initially I wrote about 3 DIN A4 pages about this video.
The black girl is germania ( germany) right
SHE is GERMANYA
You are as smart and sharp as you are prett... beautiful. You are beautiful, with all your life and enthusiasm and smiles, you are above pretty. But you are also sharp, their music is intended to make your brain busy.
Apart from being fantastic and beautiful in the role, Ruby Commey is also a big, fat finger in the face of the right wing nutters, who would like this song for all the wrong reasons.
Sorry for bad english - it's not my native language. In this work, to call it a song, my tongue will not turn, knowledge of pre-Christian, Catholic medieval history, philosophical understanding of the morality of all historical stages in the development of Western society and in particular Germany, as a single body of the entire Anglo-Saxon worldview, are woven. Germany is constantly from century to century pregnant with violence and from century to century gives birth to "dogs of war". If you look closely, you will notice it in this video. And if 2000 years ago the Germanic tribes were raped by the Roman Empire with its eternal and unquenchable thirst for enrichment and enslavement of new lands and peoples, then she, Germany, gave birth to monsters - "dogs of war". Britain and her niece the United States, again for the sake of enrichment (weapons are expensive) led Germany to the 1st and 2nd World Wars. And although at the end it is shown that this possessed black woman (by the way, another hidden or, on the contrary, open to those who understand the meaning of a black woman - a symbol of the black Soul) is sent into space in a sarcophagus, the last frames show the hidden (so far hidden) pantheon of this goddess of Violence and her faithful servants - "dogs of war".
Wer so Zeit und Deutschland ausspricht kann die deutsche Sprache. Hier aufgewachsen?
Traurig das sie nix weiß, history unterricht in den USA is halt so..😒
Ist leider so… 🙃
Arrogant Europeans love to throw out insults to make themselves feel smart. Brillant!
Here is some history for you the German's who settled in England created something good , the German's who stayed behind in Germany created many bad things.
u smart
