It's the anniversary of quite a lot of things in Germany today. Kudos to those that can name the four I'm thinking of (at least two of them had a more or less direct impact on the world).

So far there's two:
Reichspogromnacht (aka Reichskristallnacht) on Nov. 9th, 1938
Mauerfall (Fall of the Berlin Wall) on Nov. 9th, 1989

Cookies to those that got it!

The other two are:
Beerhall Putsch on Nov. 9th, 1923 which was part of the reason why the Reichspogromnacht occurred on Nov. 9th.
Crushing of the 1848 March-Revolution and the first pan-German parliament on Nov. 9th, 1848.
And the November Revolution that ended WWI on Nov. 9th, 1918

Hmmm, it was cold? Oh, people in Berlin got up to go to work too. And in 1938, I imagine Hitler trimmed his moustache. A lot of work has to go into keeping that thing the way it was. :p

Hmm...Methinks that's German, and I don't know enough Swedish to understand Danish at the moment, but I'll give a shot wat what you said in German. Keeping in mind, all the German I know is directly from Rammstein, and various other German bands.

So...¤thinks, thinks, tänka, tänka¤...its something about the Swedish Father state? I dunno. So, I'll just smile and nod my head. ¤nods¤ :D

"Faden" is German and literally means "Thread", if that helps. :D

In Kümmernis und Dunkelheit,
Da mußten wir sie bergen!
Nun haben wir sie doch befreit,
Befreit aus ihren Särgen!
Ha, wie das blitzt und rauscht und rollt!
Hurra, du Schwarz, du Rot, du Gold!
Pulver ist schwarz,
Blut ist rot,
Golden flackert die Flamme!
Das ist das alte Reichspanier,
Das sind die alten Farben!
Darunter haun und holen wir
Uns bald wohl junge Narben!
Denn erst der Anfang ist gemacht,
Noch steht bevor die letzte Schlacht!
Pulver ist schwarz,
Blut ist rot,
Golden flackert die Flamme!
...
Die Freiheit ist die Nation,
Ist aller gleich Gebieten!
Die Freiheit ist die Auktion
Von dreißig Fürstenhüten!
Die Freiheit ist die Republik!
Und abermals: die Republik!
Pulver ist schwarz,
Blut ist rot,
Golden flackert die Flamme!

Isn't that weird...it is from then - but somehow it remained up-to-date since then.

A certain "timeless quality" perhaps? :D

No, I'm not about to spam someone elses thread in Swedish. I only do that to my own! Sorry if I confused you, but I'm confused too. I just told my psycologi teacher that I missed his class this morning, when I was going to his class. (of course, at the time, I did not know I was going to his class) Anyhow, it turns out I missed math, and I don't care in the least.

I self taught myslef German for a little bit, but then promptly gave up when I found out I didn't have to translate the Rammstein lyrics. Things we do for music! :)
