German teacher orders students to sing Nazi song
A music teacher in the German district of Niedersachsen will probably be fired. This is the case because he ordered his students to sing a Nazi song.
The teacher is an employee of the Gymnasium in Delmenhorst. It all happened two weeks ago when he told his pupils to sing the battle anthem of the Hitlerjugend, ‘Unsere Fahne flattert uns voran’, and he ordered them to sing it with dedication.
Apart from singing the song the students also had to bring the Hitler salute.
The Secretary of Culture in Niedersachsen thinks it is important that students are being taught about the use of music in propaganda. ” But “, he declared. ” this has to be done with a level of sensitivity.”
