One of the perks of being European is that you have GREAT understanding of history. Probably the best reaction videos I have seen of Deutschland and I wasnt remotely annoyed despite all the pauses and history lessons.

Your knowledge of our (German) history on the fly is very impressive. I think the Roman’s at the beginning stand for the Varus battle at the Teutoburger Forrest. A sculpture of Arminius is seen in the vid as well.

The best reaction on RU-vid to this song and I’ve seen a lot of them. Well done 🔥

This is the best reaction video I’ve seen for this song. You picked up on details that no one else has mentioned in any other analysis I’ve seen. Very informative and interesting! 😊

I really love you Inside into what’s going on in this song. An absolutely awesome reaction! thank you for uploading this and greetings from Germany Bavaria :)

I saw them live in Prague. It was very strange to have visited a museum about nazism and communism and how the Czech Republic had suffered because of it, only to shout “Deutschland über allen” with tens of thousands of people a couple hours after. It showed how important the context of the lyrics was. Thank you for the video, really well made!

Can´t appriciate your video enough. Being from Germany it´s an honour to see other people knowing that much about our history, really great work you did here. Thank you!

So impressed, Evy. I've seen many Deutschland reactions in past 2+yrs, but this was by far the most informative non-native-german one :) Impressive knowledge of history, along catching some little details which are easy to miss on the first time watching the video (this one is one of those you have to watch several times). Really enjoyed this one, especially since most of the other reaction videos/channels are garbage :) So refreshing...

Impressive recognition of the German historic references in the video Thanks for your reaction Evy, here in the UK most people do not have your linguistic versatility or knowledge of the past Respect

Great commentary from your side with a lot of knowledge of the german history. Actually this video is that much overloaded with little details, that you can watch it again and again and you can see another detail you haven't seen before. Here are some details you might have missed: - the roman soldiers at the beginning are the romans that went back to the Teuteburger Forrest, where the famous "Varus-Schlacht" happened and 3 roman legions were annihilated, to retrieve the corpses of the fallen legionnaires. This is somewhat seen as the origin of germany, altough a united german nation has only been created 1871, hence the lyrics "so young and yet so old". - Every scene has the colors black, red, gold in it, as the colors of the german national flag. - the knights could be seen as the various kingdoms that existed where germany is today in the middle ages, which were defeated often, but always "resurrected". - the Hindenburg-Catastrophy - the GDR-part, where the party leaders drink champagne (in contrast of the supposed equality in socialism), normal people couldn't buy such luxury goods. Also the lyrics "separated in spirit, united in heart" targets at this period in time, where germany was ideology wise (and through the inner german border) parted (in west and east germany), but the germans wanted desperately to unify again. - the part with the priests eating sausages and sauerkraut of "germany". The clergy in the middle ages feasted of "germany", while for the normal people only leftovers fall down of the table. But since the people under the desk are wearing Sado Maso-Masks, it can also be seen, that the clergy has their hidden "perversions" as for example the child abuse within the church. - the actress playing germania in the second world war scene has a eye patch over her right eye symbolising the blindness for right wing crimes during second world war (and also sometimes after the war as well). - the Red Army Fraction that's holding "germania" as hostage. -the clerics embracing the nazi soldiars as critique, that the church did nothing against the nazis during WW2. - "germania" giving birth to the dogs: those are leonbergers, a german breed that got nearly extinct after the second world war. It may symbolize, that germany was close to be eradicated after the war, but instead the germany and the germans of today had been "born". That is also emphasized with the doctor wearing clothes resembling the red robe and hat of a judge of the german constitutional court, as the base of the modern germany is the "Grundgesetz", the german constitution. - there is a scene, where left wing extremists throw over a car, a symbolism for violent acts of left wing extremists, but there is a second, where a nazi is shown in light together with them. That may be mentioned, that left wing extremists are in no way better than the nazis in their "terror" and the mindset of those left wing extremists in using acts of violence for their means is only "nazis in other clothes" or that in the end, they use crime, brutality and murder, the same way the nazis did. It's the so called "Hufeisentheorie", horse shoe theory. - the band members (and the actress of germania!) holding the leonberger puppies behind the red robe doctor: everyone of them is a german, standing behind the german constitution. - "germania" drifting in space: the unknown future of germany. These are some details and my interpretation of it. But as I said, there are tons of details and different possible interpretations.

By the way, the tree at the beginning of the video symbolizes the IRMINSUL: (The Irminsul (general, all-supporting column) is named after the god of war Irmin. It represents the sacred world ash tree, which supports the vault of heaven on its two outstretched arms. It was a sanctuary of pagan Germanic tribes. The huge column symbolizes the connection of the sky with the earth.

I must admit this is one of my favorite reactions to Deutschland I have ever seen. You had a lot of insight into the history of Germany

This is the first time I’ve seen the reactor recognize and explain the personification of Germania to the audience rather than it being explained in the comments (as far as English language reactions). I get chills watching this video no matter how many times I’ve seen it.

The careful thought and awesome production quality of any Rammstein video is "next level"...this one goes even beyond their usual high level of achievement....

Very impressive about your Knowledge about the German History 👍 Great Video and Reaction 🙂 Greetings from Bremen, Germany 🤘

Here the German history is presented very well and many small details are hidden in the video at the beginning with the Romans in the Teuteburg Forest then the accident with the Zeppelin. The RAF, which was very bad in the 70's, the German shepherd, the GDR, the Jews, the Tiger tank and much more. Gruß aus Deutschland 🇩🇪

Very impressive knowledge of our German history. Absolutely underrated channel. I bow before you... :) One little correction concerning the German anthem. It's just a play with words by Rammstein when singing "Deutschland, Deutschland über allen" and it of course refers to the forbidden verse, where it actually says "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles"...so just a change of one single letter makes it being allowed to say and sing in this context and gives it so much meaning. Well done by Rammstein. But also well done by you! Chapeau

Damn, you're smart as hell and realized a lot more than I did the first time I watched the video, and I'm German.

i am really impressed by your historical knowledge and how many details you have recognized! good job, keep it up! With Hermana you mean Germania as personification? Arminus also called Hermann fought the romans in the teutoburg forest. is that where this comes from? greetings from a historian

Very well done...i`ve seen so many reactions to this video and your`s was the smartest and most understanding one! Greetings from Germany.

I don't think a song has ever touched me quite as deeply as Deutschland does, Rammstein and those who work with them deserve so much credit for their art.

I actually just came back from Belgium and watched your reaction. Best one to this song yet hands down

i'm actually impressed. not a single person noticed the different patches on the KZ clothes, or knows the story behind. keep up the good wörk ;)

Schatz, deine Reaktion war großartig

Brilliant reaction - so good to watch someone who actually understands exactly what's going on reacting to this song - thanks

Based on your analytics your channel deserves 860 000 subs. At least. Great stuff. To a masterpiece on many levels.

Really well done review ! Love the content , Hello from Calgary ,Canada

Iam really impressed about your knowledge about german history. Big respect. Greetings from germany :)

You don't just "know a little bit" about German history - you are absolutely rocking it! Very well done - props!

Wow, what an amazing in depth analysis of the video. So many details that I missed! Thank you!

Hey Evy, THANK YOU! What a great reaction video, please keep up the great work...your understanding of history, plus your honest and "to the point" comments, so impressing! Definitely a new subscriber here!

Wow that was incredible, the song and the video! Love the way you broke it down

Love your reaction. Subscribed.

This was an amazing breakdown!

Damn voske, always impressing me more ❤️. Great historical insight, and quite correct imho. That outro Rammstein did here just made me get goosebumps

Just came across your channel - wunderbar! Danke Evy! I really like your analysis, your enjoyment of the music & understanding of the subject matter! As a person with German heritage (through my mother), and studying and knowing it's history (both good and bad), I was completely blown away with Rammstein's video for this amazing song! It is truly unfortunate that people wish to show pride in their country, but feel they cannot because of the 'horrible' history the country has! I think that is what Till Lindemann is trying to convey here. You've found a dedicated subscriber in me! Aufwiedersehen!

The actress who plays Hermanna was born in East Germany the day the Berlin Wall came down ... Rammstein ALWAYS puts multiple layers in their videos. I loved how they start with Roman soldier's first encounter with the Germanic horde, who were brutal pagans (as were the Celts in Britain who gave the Romans hell)... They summarized all of that in one visual of roman dead hung in the tree's and hermanna cutting off a head of a roman soldier....EPIC

Saw a few reactions from you till now. There are always good analytics and to see you catching so many details of this song right away is really impressing. Keep on going, looking forward to see more reactions of yours. Greetings from Cologne

Your video is amazing! I absolutely love Rammstein and this song, video etc.. This was awesome!!!

Finally someone speaks about the outro being Sonne! It was driving me crazy for no one to notice haha. Great reaction, and amazing knowledge you have.

That was the most intelligent reaction to that video, that i've seen so far. Respect to you. Awesome one!

Just found your channel tonight and I loved your reaction to this song. You going over some of the hundreds of things Rammstein slipped into this song and video honestly enhances the experience. So thank you for doing that. As an American, we don't get a lot of European history in our education system. I took German language classes in High School from a teacher that grew up in East Germany, and learned some history from her, but not nearly as much as I would have liked to learn. This song is a way to learn both from the reactors and their commenters. Ironically, that teacher was the one who introduced me to Rammstein with Rosenrot and Engel. I remember going home adter school that day and discovering Sonne which was a life changer. Been a Rammstein fan ever since even if I don't know the language enough to catch things in the songs. I cant really comment on things you missed. You definitely know the history far better than I do. I will say though, some of the scenes resonate in a familial sense to me. And I mean no disrespect to the people of Deutschland, this is a song about your country and history and I know that and dont wish to insult you with Americanizing it; but I feel like America of today is ignoring the lessons of history, including ones being shown in this video and I know many people who would say America over all in the same way that line Deutschland uber allen (is it allen or alles?) was intended by the Nazis. And as such, I can understand a feeling of wanting to love but also wanting to condemn your country. So I feel a sort of connection with this song beyond it just being incredible to listen to. Anyway, thank you for the reaction and breakdown. It was a very enjoyable video and I look forward to more 😀

I'm so happy to see your reaction to this video masterpiece! You even pointed out some details I missed

They are incredible talented bunch.

I'm watching all your Rammstein reactions today and I'm amazed by your knowledge and interpretations.

I think it's remarkable that the "black" Germania wearing "golden" armor in front of a "red" background make the flag colors of today's Germany.

Dudette I love your reactions and reviews! You not only enjoy the emotional responses the music elicits but also appreciate the philosophical messages therein. Beautiful reactions

Thanks for the astounding amount of good information and enlightenment :-) Love your work. Cheers

I've been watching reactions to this since it came out as it ain't exactly your usual music video 👀 the reaction range is vast from airhead to academic 🎭 this is one of the more informed reactions I've seen 👏

Even as a German I had to watch that video two or three times to get all the references, but wow your knowledge and interpretation of the pictures was impressive. Great reaction, great analysis.

This was by far the best analysis of this video. (apart from historians) And believe me, I've seen almost all of them. You are the first to notice the reference to german Submarine. You have seen much more than most Germans. And analyzed correctly. A few more things that may have escaped you. Germania always wears the German colors. Black, red and gold. In the concentration camp scene she wears the eye patch sometimes on the right side and sometimes on the left side. Blind on the right eye means not seeing the danger posed by neo-Nazis. On the left side just to underestimate communism. With the Puppies it concerns the race Leonberger. After the 2nd World War there were only 5 of them. That Germania brings these to the world, stands for the rebirth of Germany after the war.

Just…wow. I am so impressed by your knowledge of the German history. And the Rattenvanger van Hamelen, i would have never thought of that! Very imoressive musicvid, and (imo) an awesome reaction. To me it was interesting enough to not mind the many breaks. Idk if you’ll read this over a year after the original reaction but i had to get it out. Salutations from the Netherlands

There are hundreds if not thousands of reactions to this. Many good ones but yours is honestly the best I've seen.

Very decent reaction, I'm impressed. :)

I assume it was already mentioned: The black lady represents "Germania" - personification of Germany The romans got ambushed by the Germanic tribes ( Battle for the Teutoburger Wald - Varusschlacht - the place it not sure on the spot until today). It is assumed it was not a single battle but attacks again and again. Herman/Arminius destroyed a large part of the overall Roman army. After this the Romans still tried to conquer Germania. of course the middle ages and its battlefields. Germania is wearing a golden armor, with her black skin and the red background colour we get the modern flag of Germany. I assume its a reference to the "Holy Roman Empire" - aka Heilige Römische Reich deutscher Nationen ( +German Nations) We see the roaring twenties - to mention are the political fights between the left and the right groups on the streets. While others, well, were fighting much less. Germania is wearing all the nice stuff. She is what we see in era. The glamour the glitter, while the fall was incomming Yes, it is the Weimarer Republik - Weimar Republic Followed up with the crash of the Hindenburg Next we see scenes of the German Democratic Republic. The GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany were seperated for decades after the WW2. In the East (GDR) there was only one party in charge all the time. Actually it was a dictatorship with a lot of espionage against its inhabitants. While many goods were not available to the masses, the top lived quite well and chased any critics Funny to this, the go on with the clerical history of Germany. There was quite a mess there. The churches in the past were landholders like the nobles. And they pressed people to work and even when people starved they feasted on Germania We have a lot of blood in our history Much less funny: the vision into the concentration camps. Germania is blind on one eye - many people were telling they never noticed the deportation or the mass execution of the Jews. But there were even masstrails over the land, there were chaisings by private persons hunting jews who escaped from a bombed train. The Celle Massacre was one of those incidents. Of course everybody was in the resistance [sic]. But in this video there is a link to the production of the Vergeltungswaffe- rockets that were fired against Great Britain. So Jewish people had to suffer to hurt those who might helped them later. Oh, and it does not matter if you were believing/practioning Jew, it was the matter how much "Jewish Blood" you had in you. People with the purest Jewish blood were on highest priority to eliminate than those with just one Jewish parent and so on. Bitter to know, the so called "Rosa Winkel" (the pink triangle) paragraph, so the crime of homosexual acts were deleted from the books many years later. So many victims had no chance getting any amends from the state. "Deutschland Deutschland über alles" is part of the "Lied der Deutschen", only the third verse is our anthem today. It is not forbidden to sing it all but very much frowned to do so. When it was written there was no united Germany. So it was about the idea of one country. It was just patriotic and idealistic in this time. But it became much more of this "über allen" - over all people. So it got a very negative vibe. And in the song he speaks it out loud. The other verse is frowned because the borders it mentiones are not German today. So it does not make much sense when you dont want to go to war. And the second verse, well, singing about women, whine and singing dont make the best anthem. Especially when you compare it with Unity, Justice and Freedom as a goal to seek Oh the burning books came from the churches and the Nazis. To things are mixed together. tbh, there were some disgusting relations between the Vatican and the Nazis going on. Even after the ware. Just look up for rat lines So, we go on, in the 1970s a terror group took Germany as hostage. And some people were taken as hostage quite literelly. Martin Schleyer and others. Around the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion - Red Army Faction, you might wanna look up for "Baader Meinhof Komplex") a lot of strange stuff happened. It's not totally clear how much even officials had to do with it. Some murders could have been prevented. And the death of some of the terrorists was quite obscure. Even today not everyone of them was cought. Overall you might heared of the GSG9. It's a German special unit for terror incidents and hostage taking. They were acting in 1977. When they used the word "Übermenschen" they used the "Über" again and again, and came with "überdrüssig" so "tired of (so called) Übermenschen". And for the vast majority, we are more than tired of those kind of people. The Jews shooting the Nazis can be seen as a connection to the "warsaw ghetto uprising" or simply is related to the who rises high will fall deep. Over all, we Germans have a quite complicated relationship with our country. What I like about the video, they showed us a lot about German history. And it was brutal. And it should be, because the history was brutal I personally refer to Schopenhauer on this point who called national pride the cheapest sort of pride.

Congratulation for your review to this video. You have a very good knowledge and a very sharp view for details. So good to see, that history is still in some minds. I enjoyed to watch this and will definately watch more of your videos!

8:47 Funfact, the first and second verse of the Deutschlandlied are not illegal/forbidden. But nobody sings them in public, maybe neo-nazis. You have really good knowledge of the German history, great reaction! I like how you say Germania. ^_^ Greetings from Niedersachsen (lower-saxony).

Evy, du kennst dich echt gut mit unserer deutschen Geschichte aus. Sehr bemerkenswert. :-) Du hörst dich cool an wenn du deutsch redest.

Thank you very much for this video! I was so surprised of your knowlegde of german history and what details you have seen in this. Respect. I have seen it often, but many many things, were cofferd (?) from me. Sorry for my bad english 😐

Nice reaction. One of the best i have seen. Knap werk!

Well done on your interpretation of the song, brilliant reaction, looking forward to more Rammstein from you, hope your having a great day, thanks 🙏 from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Respect. This was one of the most intelligent reaction to this video from such a young person like you. The most young people don't understand the meaning of the feeling of the lyrics. Liked to listen to your reaction. Greetings from Germany

Your video was so much better than I expected. xD Great job on knowing so much German history! (:

One of best reactions/analysis i'v seen! Good to see that young people somewhere in the world know history. One thing you missed was Zeppelin crash ...

You're the first reactor I watched who noticed the hint to the Pied Piper of Hamelin legend. Great reaction, you have a sharp mind!

Hey I come from Germany and I will say, your analyse is great

Hats off, thumbs up, I'm thrilled, you know German history well.👌👍

He sings "Deutschland über allen" The part of the anthem where you have referred to was "Deutschland über *alles* " which was not meant that way as the the nazis used it. At that time, when the anthem was created they wanted so bad one nation ( and not these bunch of kingdoms) But what a great reaction. You picked up a lot of things correctly.

Beautiful reaction, Gorgeous Evy

Super Reaktion auf so ein schwieriges Video. Jede Szene erzählt eine Geschichte oder ist eine Referenz auf ein historisches Ereignis/Märchen. Und was ich echt gut finde ist das die Band enorm viel Spielraum für Interpretationen lässt. Ich glaube ich habe das Video mindestens 5 mal schauen müssen um alles zu entdecken was dort gezeigt wurde.

RAMMSTEIN band that has its own characteristics in each album of songs in it.

Actual great to see your knowledge, thank you for this vid. You are pretty cool

Thanks for the details 👍🏼

BY FAR the best (non professional) reaction/interpretation/ analysis of all youtubers! Cheers to you :)

Maybe a little detail that many people have missed. The Main Colors in the whole video are Black, Red and Gold(yellow).... The colors of the german flag, and they are along the video. Sometimes a black background, with red lasers and a golden armor... sometimes black leather jacket, goldengun and red gloves... sometimes red lasers, a shadowed person and golden sparks, .... My favourite part is during the outro (in your reaction video at 16:20) the eyes from Flake, Till, Paul and Oliver.... they are full of respect what happend.... they are also not looking away... they are looking on what happend with a lot of respect! In germany we have a word for it... "Erfurcht"

Awesome! The first one who got most of the hidden detailes! i realy love it!

Its just awsome seeing someone who knows history that well

Thanks amazing reaction 👍

Wow, i am so impressed!!!!!! you noticed and know so many details and historic facts, just wow! not many germans know that much i believe. Just another great reaction, thanks!

Dear Lady Beeing german i am deeply impressed by your knowledge about german history, thank you; just subscribed to your channel due the fact i love intelligent folks 👍👍BEST reaction on RAMMSTEIN Deutschland i have ever seen

This reaction video opened the imagery and references inherent in this video way more than any other source. I appalaud you and congratulate you for your intimate knowledge of the German history. Thank you for letting us know all that you told. Extremely informative.

Great reaction! Stunning how much you do know about german history. I would like to mention one more thing. The red laser symbolizes the color of lovers and of fighters, it is the color of the highest emotions: power, fire and wild passion. At the end you can see the german eagle, the symbol animal and the three colors of the flag. Black, red and gold.

Absolute congrats to your really very well done reaction. Maybe a little bit to much interuptions, but my fully respect to your knowledge of germany history. Love all your Rammstein reactions so far and hope to see much more. Greetings from Düsseldorf over to Belgium.

Fun fact, this song was a MAJOR hit on rock radio stations (and also played on regular ones) in… Poland, where Rammstein is very much loved. Shows a lot about how they see Germany history. Truthfully. Not some weird politics one way or the other.

Cool reaction!

Fantastic reaction lernt a lot thank you

You did a very good job guessing ( correctly ) in the moment ; the best reactor I've seen for this song / video ! Especially ; You are the only reactor I've seen that connected the dots of Germania ( being the female actress ) at the VERY BEGINNING of the video !

Great reaction and great knowledge about the german history. A little thing, that usually nobody sees in the video. At the beginning of the Holocaust scene, where you stop the video. Germania wears an eye patch, as a symbol that Germany is looking away with one eye, from the crimes of the Nazis. A few scenes later, she wears the eye patch over her other eye. I don't think, I need to explain the symbolism for that. And there are so many other things to discover. There are many analysis videos, maybe something like that is worth a reaction? ;)

Wow, great reaction!

You earned a like just because your Europe history knowledge 💛

loved your reaction... you are so well tought to german history... good first impressions and reasonings

I did not see that coming that you know so much about the German history, some details even I didn't know. It was very refreshing to watch your reaction compared to other reactions.

you are absolutely right about the lady, you know very much about germany😂🇩🇪🇩🇪

You just earned yourself a subscriber. Cheers

Nice and best reaction ❣️❣️

At least... someone understood this epic song / video. Brilliant! Thank you!!!

Thank you for this excellent video. Just one remark. The national anthem was written before the many german kingdoms and principalities were united to one nation. The text says "Deutschland über allem" (Germany above everything) probably meaning that the nation should be above those Kingdoms. Lindemann, referring to the nazi dictatorship, converts it to "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everyone).

Chapeau! you got another follower

Chapeau voor je kennis van duitse geschiedenis, cultuur, mythologie. Er is hoop voor de mensheid!
