Edelweiß - The symbol of German nation

A favourite song from the Sound of Musick .
Beloved by the Tranny crowd which is why I just know you picked it .

Big fat Nazi Officers strutting up and down , courting their dream idols with the beloved daisy flower .
Whom here are you signalling to , Morticia ?
Tell Aunty Luiza .
 
Mortimer, you are the worst attention whore I've ever encountered.

To use an uniform with an Edelweiß is ... more or less an absurdity.



Translation:

A bronze plaque on the railroad embankment,
someone has put down a bunch of flowers.
In the toy store opposite, a dream world, beautifully colorful.
The wind drives rain across the square where the gallows once stood.


Back then, when freedom died in the brown night,
a whole nation was put into uniform,
a little flower bloomed in our town, badly plucked;
But it did not die, despite the swastika and skull and crossbones.


[Refrain]:
Edelweiss pirates,
That's what they called themselves.
Where the little flower bloomed,
Yes, there was resistance.


With guitar against the Nazi march, that's how it started back then.
They were opposed to the Hitler salute and the delusions of the master race.
They didn't want HJ uniforms. They didn't want drill.
They went out into the countryside and played Buffalo Bill.
When the gentlemen started the war in '39,
they were prepared to use any means against the Edelweiss.


[Refrain]

Brutally beaten up in Brauweiler and in the EL-DE house;
The executioners didn't care that some of them were still children.
Those who refused to be broken knew:
"Now it's over! Next time it will be our turn,
Then we can't go home anymore!"


They hid with boys from the underground.
They stole food and weapons, otherwise they would have died.
They also killed Nazis, that's how far they had been taken.
Some of them were caught in October '44.


[Refrain]

A bronze plaque on the railroad embankment,
Someone put down a bunch of flowers.
Life, it goes on.
Do you know what happened back then?
Of those who were killed here,
the youngest was 16 years old.


[Refrain]

Edelweiss pirates, that's what they called themselves.
But that's not mentioned in any school textbooks today.

Baron, you are no German - you make politics in the USA with anti-Germanism, that's all. And the very strange thing: This indeed works in the USA.

Information:

Since the advent of tourism in the 19th century at the latest, the edelweiss has been the symbol of the Alps par excellence. As the plant only grows at high altitudes and often in places that are difficult to access, it was once considered a sign of courage and love if a young man brought an edelweiss home to his beloved. Countless movie sequences tell of this.

The edelweiss has long been threatened with extinction. It was the very first plant to be placed under strict nature protection back in 1886. Therefore, if you are out and about in the mountains and see an edelweiss, the best thing to do is to take a photo of it as a souvenir, but otherwise leave it alone.

If you would like to bring an edelweiss home, simply go to the nearest well-stocked garden center instead of the mountains, where you can now buy various cultivated forms from the Himalayas.
