Germans caught celebrating Oktoberfest with Nazi salutes
Performing Nazi salutes has been illegal in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II and is punishable by law with prison time.

This ia huge clickbait sadly. It's some random small oktoberfest, where some drunken germans maybe doing the Hitler greeting.
I'm not saying it's okay what they do, but by far not world news. This would be maximum local news if at all.
Well they are also playing "Erika" which is a right wing dog whistle, though maybe not as uncommon in these circles, as outright Nazi salutes
Edit: Also curiously most people, myself included, never find themselves in danger of accidentally heil hitlering even when blackout drunk. Seems to become a more common occurrence in Saxony though.
I wish i could extinguish every trace of fascism in every aspect of reality. I really do. Stupid Nazis are hindering me from enjoying old german folk songs without being judged :(
Well I'm thinking the same, but then I'm not sure where to put this video (ignoring the sound track) on a scale from drunken singing to obvious Nazi salute.
Maybe i don't know enough about Bierzelt culture. If they were singing Hölle, hölle, hölle or Atemlos, would you notice the (right) arm in the air? The arm movement seems unnatural (if the intention was signing with arms in the air), but this could still sort-of pass as not 100% Heil Hitler.
The band chose the song, for sure, that's questionable. The event organisers should not allow this to happen. But the guests, should they leave? Sit down quietly and wait for the next song?
I could be in that tent and not recognise the song. Not my kind of music.
I could see people innocently copying the movement of others. It may be a tent full of Nazis, scary, but the video does not proof this.
Should be easy to catch and jail them, if photos and videos are being taken all over the event.
Germany should learn how Americans were able to catch so many Nazis during the Jan 6th insurrection. 😂
In Saxony. Unfortunately I'm not even surprised anymore.
Proud neo-nazis or drunk idiots?
If you’re a drunk idiot “jokingly” doing nazi salutes as an adult in Germany, you’re just being a nazi. At best nazi-adjacent.
@atlasraven31 Possibly drunk proud neo-nazi idiots.
That was a disappointing Where's
Waldothe Nazi. Everyone is either clapping or some shit. Waste of time. At least the dude with the roasted chicken for a hat was fun. 1/5 don't recommend.I also stared at the picture for way too long before realizing there was a video down below.
"Where's
Waldothe Nazi." I almost spit out my water. 🤣
Surprising no one unfortunately…
Amazing that something not pro-Germany or anti-American slipped on to here. They must still be asleep.
welcome to your bubble. german subs are full of critical stuff. e.g. search for "Bahn".
So are the history books
I’ve been up since 4am (insomnia), so nope.
There is no duo more iconic than Germans and Nazism.
Reminder that germany never underwent denazification; there are still nazi members in power to this day.
While you are correct in the fact that the denazification process was mostly a joke you should still try to do some maths here. Someone who was at least 20 at the end of the Hitler regime (in order to be part of the party etc.) in 1945 would be at least 96 today. Our politicians are old, yes, but they're not that old.
They never fucking learn...
