I thought this tagline was funny cuz they say AmErika. Erika is a shitty German war song about your sweety. As far as war songs about your sweety go, Erika is both fascist and pales in comparison to Katyusha, the best sweety war song.

Literally just because Amerika is the German spelling and German = Nazis

It always felt kinda weird to me, because there are in fact a lot of other languages where America is spelled with a K, and German was also the language of Marx and the DDR

    Oooh, of course. Yeah I see what it's going for, it does seem kinda toothless though.

    Side note: I love referring to it as the DDR and not the GDR because DDR is also a fun game snom
