This is indeed good news. Long live 🇩🇪 rt back at you, and what nice comments ! Especially about The Queen. Respect to our cousins in 🇩🇪 from 🇬🇧.

@@alanandconnielast Never a truer word spoken!

@@raidertheconqueror3818 what complete and utter rubbish- how does it go against anything ? The soldiers of the last two World Wars …. if they are looking down on us …would surely be proud we are finally behaving like the cousins and the brothers we are. What were once mortal enemies are now friends ….more than that friends and distant family - This is PROGRESS! It’s progress pure and simple and it should be honoured. Please explain how it’s dishonours either side who fought and died Enlighten me …

@@raidertheconqueror3818 If I, a sonnof a US Army veteran and grandson of a Polish officer who opposed Naizsm and Communism take no issues with Poles, Germans, and Russians getting on with each other, surely you can to. No one is denying history, however holding grudges only serves to weaking the Europa. Especially with the onslaught of so called refugees from sub-saharan Africa.

Whilst we should never forget the sacrifice made in two world wars on both sides. Its so nice to see two armies who were once enemies now allies and comrades.

Funny that because most never forgave the Germans after the horrors of camps and the massacres of unarmed allied troops

@@keir100 Not sure where your sayings is coming from , one should clarify where and when, Duncan from Scotland

I believe it may have been buchenwald, but he had been in at least 3 during his imprisonment. The guard he visited would at great risk to himself slip some of the prisoners extra bits of bread.

I am a Pilipino during WW2 the Japanese imperial army they occupied the whole archipelago for almost 4years and after a war the filipino ang japanese became friends...in the battle there is no victors only victims.

Lovely story. I’ve heard of similar friendships forming and people being invited to each other’s weddings etc after the war.

Against the US and UK we had to fought 2 brutal, senseless wars. Against the French there were FOUR wars. My grandpa was a paratrooper and we talked a lot about the bad times. Sooo much suffering, sooo much destroyed families. Let this never happen again!! It is a great achievement that we are all friends today!

Respect and love to our American friends thank you for beeing a alie for so long against Russia and the red army. Despite all political change Europe and the USA belong together... We are family... We bow to you... 🇺🇸🌹🇩🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗

The Queen for sure will be happy about this one 😊

I don't understand your reference to Anglo-Saxon kings, but of course we had Hanoverian kings.

@@colinelliott5629 well the Anglo-Saxon kings are from germanic tribe... therefore

Colin Elliott before William the Conquerer, well ... conquered England, a Germanic tribe called the Anglo-Saxons ruled over it. The kings prior to Wiiliam were mostly of anglo-saxon descent. The Anglo-Saxons are relatives of the Angles and the Saxons, two germanic tribes who lived in the area of northern Germany modern day Denmark. After 1066 William replaced most nobles by normanic ones, but most simple man stayed anglo-saxon. That is why you often have two completely different words with the same meaning in english. A very good example are types of meat and the animals they derive from. The cow (German Kuh) becomes beef. The anglo-saxon farmer would use the anglo-saxon (and thus germanic) word cow to describe his cattle, while the Norman nobility would eat the meat and call it beef (boef in French)

@@meganoob12 didn't william also have anglo saxon blood in him as well as of course viking

@@npickle54 careful here. Vikings are Germanic, but not German. German are the people who lived and live in the rough area of modern day Germany. Germanic people are all those who are of Germanic descent, i.e. Dutch, English, Germans/Austrians, Danish, Nowegians, Swedish and Islandics

Indeed Brits and German are the engine of Europe.... Anglo-Saxon brothers

@@alanandconnielast most of those inventions were invented earlier just in different forms or alongside other inventors. Back to the drawing board for you.

This unit is currently practicing in the field. And will be part of the VJTF from then on. And helps protect our allies from Russian aggression. #wearenato 💪

Apart from nearly every damn one out there, Britain is a mongrel nation with many ancient cultures as part of it's make up, ever heard the Vikings, Normans? Ever wondered was so much French in still present within spoken and written English? Of course you haven't.

Yes, no more brother wars! I have an English father and German mother who were on opposite sides during WW2.

not much connection with us Taffs in terms of Germans, bach

@@TarnishUK France, Scandinavia, all populated by Germanic tribes in the in the Roman and post Roman era, pretty much all of Central and Western Europe come from the same stock.

@@vanpallandt5799 The Celts originated in present day Turkey, albeit in an era long before the Ottoman Empire and the mixture of North African and Middle Eastern populations that brought to the Mediterranean, but still darker than Anglo-Saxon/Danish/Fresian ancestry.

Oh, I don't know. There's already an operational DE/NL Tank Battalion (414 Tank Battalion) since 2019.

the first ccoperation was with the french army... Deutsch-Französische Brigade -> since 1990 ..

Well, the Saxons that went to England with the Angles where not the Saxons of todays Saxony. The origional Saxons of that time lived in nothern Germany - in todays Schleswig- Holstein und Niedersachsen - hence the name of the latter. The name then traveled with the titel Duke of Saxony. Quote Wikipedia "After the fall of Henry the Lion in 1180, the title of Duke of Saxony fell to the Ascanian Bernhard, who resided in Wittenberg. At this point in time, the title of "Duke" in the German Empire lost its ties to a people's territory. When the Ascanians died out, the Saxon title of duke passed to the Wettins in 1423, who held the margraviate of Meißen, which was in what is now the Free State of Saxony. Since the title of Duke of Saxony was associated with the dignity of an elector, it was the highest in rank and took the first place in the title. "Saxony" was used to describe the states under the rule of the Wettin house of the Dukes of Saxony. In this way, with the award of the Saxon electoral dignity to Friedrich the arguable, the name “Saxony” also “migrated” up the Elbe."

@@dreamdancer8212 indeed I am from Westphalia North West Germany. I am a native old Saxon the today Saxony in the east have nothing to do with the old Saxons. They are slawic we are from German tribe. There is town called Beverungen in Westphalia it's related to former Beverington in Eastbourne in Sussex ( East Saxony). Especially english people are very similar to us north west Germans. Boris Johnson, Laurence Fox the whole Fox actor family the blond people of England are from Anglo-Saxon tribe.

@@albionmyl7735 BoJo is from Ottoman tribe.

And the German anthem is a much-loved hymn in Britain, and one of my favourites.

And the German anthem tune was formerly that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

At the time the German Empire actually didn't have an official anthem. There were a couple of songs played at official occasions, among them "Heil dir im Siegerkranz", which glorifies the Kaiser to the tunes of "God save the Queen". Well, the royal families were related, so no one really cared i guess lol

God save the Queen from Germany we are family 🇬🇧💞🇩🇪😇🌹

One could say mortal enemies 1914-1945 really. And after brexit and all the fuzz in British politics and the blaming of the EU, including Germany, seeing this as a German is heartwarming. At least our militaries still understand that we are allies, friends and family

@@meganoob12 Angela Merkel (who, let's face it, called the shots) could have offered the British prime minister David Cameron something to take back to the British electorate during the pre-Brexit vote negotiations. But, for whatever reason, didn't. So, yes, in a way Germany was at least partly to blame for Brexit. But, please don't confuse the EU with Europe. The vast majority of the UK population (no matter what their view on Brexit) do see our European neighbours as allies, friends and family. Errr.. the French less so.

@@Wotsitorlabart Even Merkel has no mandate to decide that over the head of every other EU-member - and I'd even argue doing so betrays the values of the EU and would be a prime example of how the Brexiteers fear the EU is indeed run. And also the demands made by Cameron beforehand were quite outrageous to the point of subverting EU Legislation and installing the British House of Commons as a supervising body of the EU Parliament. Nope, Cameron dropped the ball. Instead of calling out the obvious lies pushed by Brexiteers he ducked away annd allowed the British population to be tempted into Brexit.

Thank you.

Is this a NATO sponsored event or not?

Thank you, Sir. In future, I will try to do more such videos in english.

Thank you. Was hard to get the sound well but I think it´s ok regarding my possibilities

There are now three brass bands in the British Army. Most bands are still wind bands. I agree that all army bands should be wind bands

Interessant, dass der Captain in der Formation marschiert. Wusste ich so auch nicht.

@@AVKnecht I suppose, there might be many more wars, in which have fought on the side of the Germans, which are not in the official history books, like when NATO attacked Serbia in 1999.

@@kevinmartin3859 the King’s German Legion (KGL); 1803 - 1816!

@@jochensteber3881 you got there before me, officially made up of Hanoverian soldiers escaping the French occupation. Also the nickname of the 60th (Royal American) Regiment was the Jaggers, an anglicisation of Jaegers because of the number of German emigrés serving in the two light battalions of the regiment (5th and 6th I think).

Not Prussian as such but from the various states of Hesse and other German principalities

@@vanpallandt5799 Landgrave Friedrich II of Hesse-Kassel signed so-called subsidy treaties with his brother-in-law, King George III of Great Britain, on January 15, 1776. According to these treaties, the Hessian sovereign undertook to provide Great Britain with a contingent of soldiers on a permanent basis, with a total troop strength of about 12,000 men. According to historical sources from the region, the contingent consisted of 15 infantry regiments, 4 grenadier battalions, 2 companies of Feldjägers and the artillery corps. To these were later added three companies of Feldjäger on foot and one on horseback. In all, about 19,000 soldiers were leased from Hesse-Kassel to Great Britain during the course of the American War of Independence. Hessian troop strength in North America during the course of the war was always between 10,000 and 12,000 men, making up about one-third of the total contingent of British troops in the North American colonies. I hope that I do not have too many spelling and grammatical errors in my text and that my English is understandable. I apologize in any case for this in all form

You´re welcome. Was a great ceremony.

@@BadBonsai1 Yes, I thought it was superbly done. And your coverage meant that some of us could know that it was happening. Danke und Frohes neues Jahr.

No.

Despite Brexit Britain belong to Europe

Hopefully.

it doesn´t depend in this case, if britain belongs to the European Union or not. UK an Germany belong to NATO. And the NATO don´t care about Brexit, their order is do defend NATO territory. And that is, what we see here: British troops will be part of a Bundeswehr unit. On the other hand, german frigates will help UK and other allies in the indo-pacific region. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Qc4hOmZuKg.html #wearenato

Not Macron at all, the uk naval and air assets have been supporting the French military outside the NATO area since 2010. All helps the uk- or what will be left of it - in rejoining the EU.

How on earth has this been allowed to happen?

@@genwoolfe successive British government's and continental countries have planned this for years.The only slight hiccup was Brexit,but believe me the European Union and the remoaners in this country are playing the long game.

European Army does NOT mean European Union Army in Germany.

@@grahamellis6029 General Reilly was right all along.

@@grahamellis6029 Speaking as a Remainer, surely this is NATO? Btw Remoaner is about as witty as Isreal

Ah, thank you.

I'd argue the history between Germany and France has been much more unfortunate than that between Germany and Britain. And furthermore, the French did suffer much more from it than the Brits did. Yet, the French and the Germans integrated an entire brigade like that and nobody bats an eye. Due to this Germans are marching down l'avenue de Champs Elysées alongside their French Comrades every year, in some years even accompanied by planes of the Luftwaffe joining the French in the air. When Germans were invited to celebrate in Britain back in 2015 you had all sorts of demeaning comments and attempts at controversy - just like here with Brits freaking out over a single Squadron being attached to a German batallion while it is stationed in Germany.

Quite. The Germanic forces fought brilliantly and bravely. The British were good at leading a multi-racial army - that was their strength (is their strength?).

Thank you.

A *what now* ?

Thank you.

@@BadBonsai1 you are more than welcome, great video. 👍

ja, ich sollte mir dringend angewöhnen, meine Kommentare vorab noch mal querlesen zu lassen. Aber ich bin so ungeduldig 😂😂

@@BadBonsai1 Jetzt hast du es halt in amerikanischem Englisch stehen xD Die British Army Band Catterick besteht übrigens aus den Bands des Royal Armoured Corps, der King’s Division und des Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). Unpopuläre Reformen in der Militärmusik haben zur Bildung dieser zusammenfassenden Bands geführt. Aber da du ja das Badge des Royal Corps of Army Music verwendet hast, gehe ich davon aus, dass ich dir da nichts neues erzähle. :)

Das Doofe ist: Ich hatte, da ich ja wusste, dass eine Abordnung dort spielen wird, mich vorab auf den Seiten der BA eingelesen. Konnte aber vorher leider niemanden vors Mikro kriegen und als ich fertig mit dem Dreh war, sind die bereits aufgesessen. Fun Fact: Am gleichen Tag hat eine Abordnung des Marinemusikkorps Wilhelmshaven in Großbritannien gespielt.
