Nazi scandal over Pete Doherty



Munich --
What really makes Pete Doherty? When it comes to the Babyshambles frontman is quiet, usually makes one worry - but then he comes with a new scandal around the corner. So this time ...
Doherty smashed at a gig in Munich, the first verse of Deuschlandliedes fervently: "Germany, Germany above all." Tumult arose in the audience, the gig had to be continued later.
Originally, the scandal-rockers on a surprise appearance in Munich. The Station "Bayern 2" transmitted the concert live. The "tz" reports, the public had responded with booing and catcalls at Doherty's derailment - but the concert was resumed at first. Five other songs could bellow the 30-year-old - then it was the organizers too delicate.
Doherty was asked by the stage. "Otherwise we would not be able to guarantee security," cited the "tz" with the BR-program director for multimedia, Rainer low.
The anthem was by the Nazis (1. straws: "Germany, Germany above all, abuse more than anything in the world"). After much hesitation, President Theodor Heuss declared on Germany in 1952 the song again for the national anthem - since 1991, but only with the third verse of the text and the starting line, "Unity and justice and freedom."
