After this, another national anthem blunder:
Swiss television has made an embarrassing error during live coverage of the European Championship football match between Germany and Austria.
The national channel SRG ran subtitles to Germany's national anthem including the obsolete first verse – ignored since the fall of the Third Reich.
"Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles" or "Germany, Germany above everything", was popular under the Nazis' rule.
An "error" by the Swiss? For the Germany match against tournament co-hosts Austria? Hmm.
