Re: Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel: I'll Meet You in Poland

Ah, das you're saying "is like a romantic relationship between Hitler and Stalin", this rings a bell in me...
I think it was the first song from KMFDM's first record - gosh, what was it's name? Discogs says "What do you know, Deutschland?" -, this one also had a pattern like this.
Well, I don't know what was mindset of the 80s, if that was one way possible to talk about those topics without getting arrested, or if that was the view as people in the West saw it with WWII - you know, talking about one's personal experiences in WWII is only a thing of more recent times, perhaps little by little started in the 90s, but fully was in effect than only after the millennium.
Remembering that song, Track 1 on that said record, it had a character like that too. Somebody back then in my younger days drew me a political conclusion from that, but I didn't get why.
Guess then I didn't know enough about that music, right?
