Why did the Brits always have to interject some snide comment about Germans goose-stepping, but have said nothing about Soviets, Chinese Communists, North Koreans, etc. doing the same for the past 80 years?

[@zackkilgore528]

Because the British press are comprised of Trotskyists and despite falling under the Menshevik umbrella that is sidelined and ridiculed by mainline Communists, like Marxist Leninists and Maoists, they are nonetheless sympathetic to Communist ideology.

[@nolmanimates3031]

Idk, its just them picking and choosing what they don't like

[@randomobserver8168]

A fair point, and I'm happy to always slag communists, but two notes:
1. The Germans were Britain's enemy twice in the two biggest wars of modern, or all, times. Those other countries were, respectively, an opponent in a Cold War and two briefly enemies in an undeclared regional conflict for 3 years on the other side of the world.
2. At the time of this newsreel, the first of those two biggest wars against Germany had already happened and was only ten years in the past, part of the lived experience of most Britons, whereas the Russians were a distant potential problem that had only begun to manifest, and the other two didn't exist yet.

[@randomobserver8168]

Also worth noting the German goose step here is much more dignified and less Monty Python than the ones the Russians, Chinese or North Koreans do.

Weil die Briten einfach so nicht marschieren können.😉

alongside Hindenburg is the defense minister Groener (served 1928-1932).

[@xxdomixx1085]

If somebody wants to know this. This video is from 1928. I don't know the month.

[@1973modi]

its from august 1929- it has to be because the weimar constitution was adopted august 14, 1919 and the captions say its the tenth anniversary of the constitution

[@user-ec7lt1wc3l]

It's actually from '32 Whilst the Constitution was adopted in 1919 the first "Constitution-Day" was in 1922 it was the national holiday of the Weimar republic.

What kind of cymbal is used in these old German military bands that produces that flat crashing sound?

[@theamericaneaglepatriot9673]
