A viral video shows people singing racist lyrics and performing Nazi salutes at a club on the northern German island of Sylt. The club has condemned the incident
Police in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein are investigating a viral social media video which appears to show a group of young people singing racist lyrics outside a bar on the island of Sylt.
“A video of people partying on Sylt is currently doing the rounds on social media,” the police said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday morning. “We are aware of this video which is being investigated for potentially illegal content.”
The video, which appears to have been taken outside the exclusive “Pony” nightclub in the island town of Kampen last weekend, shows people dancing to Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino’s party hit “L’amour toujours” but changing the lyrics to: “Foreigners out, foreigners out, Germany for the Germans, foreigners out.”
One guest can be seen appearing to mimick Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, gesturing a short moustache and performing a Nazi salute.
Woops Germany your mask is slipping
Come on, Germany, last time you did this you went from the most powerful country in Europe to the 5th-most powerful country in Berlin.
This idea of “actually, all Germans secretly think this way” is a common excuse of modern day Nazis to justify their increasingly brazen behaviour in public. Just so you know whose talking points you’re reproducing here.
Well the inexorable rise of the AfD suggests this is not a niche viewpoint
