  1. Lieber Lucy & Roifield
    As a long-time listener to DTD and as a recently naturalised Staatsbürger, you can tell Roifield he is NOT going to be arrested for singing the first verse of das Deutschlandlied, (nor the second, which is about German wine and German women). The third verse is only sung by convention and the first two verses are not banned by any German law. The melody composed by Haydn was also used by the Austro-Hungarian Empire up to 1918 with different lyrics (then it was called the Kaiserlied and dedicated to the Emperor Franz Josef).
    Hope this clears things up. Anyway, Roifield could always sind the pre-1919 German National Anthem (“Heil dir im Siegerkranz”) which has the same tune as God Save the Queen so even he shouldn’t cock that one up!
