  • AFAIK flying a tiny but long ass flag is normal in Denmark. You are however only allowed to fly a Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or German flag.

    In Germany it is forbidden to fly a German flag with the state emblem (yellow shield with black eagle) as that is the official German flag and may only be flown by federal goverment entities.

    Also flying the wrong flag or the right one incorrectly on a boat or ship im Germany can get you fined up to 10k€




  • Now that is quite a fun game of gymnastics, but just to pick one out and ohrase it differently.

    The Soviets invaded Poland to weaks late according to the treaty with Germany, because they were held back in Belarus, the Baltics and Ukraine, but gladly took the promised lands.

    Yeah right. However you spin this the USSR was by no means an innocent country, nor were they anti-imperialist. They might have seen themselves that way. But that’s like me saying I am dilligent and disciplined, lying to oneself is what we do best.




  • You need some kind of motivation for sure, but that doesn’t have to be monetary. The feeling of fullfillment, honor, acceptance or being able to help a greater good can come a long way. The reservists of armies all around the world are on example. Germany is dependant on volunteers to organise fire departements (80% volunteers) disaster relieve (THW ~95% volunteers) sport clubs (99%) etc.
