I lived in Germany for 10 years and always thought it was funny when Germans waved flags and got emotional over their national anthem.
After all they have zero autonomy and are not a sovereign nation but merely an American outpost. That was and still is a post world war 2 reality.
Funnily enough, same is true in the United States. Not a sovereign nation and commandeered by Israel and just like Germans had no clue.. neither do Americans
