  only the third stanza is the national anthem. the first and second stanzas are banned, people aren't allowed to sing them. the first stanza.. is closely identified with the nazi regime, because the nazis used that (the stanza came before the nazis, but really, doesn't it scream nazi germany?). and even if you leave out the nazi regime part, "Germany above all else in the world!" doesn't sound good. stanza two is just praising women , wine, virtues, etc.

  And yeah, I did know Medic is not a Nazi, but I like to think that there was no way he could have not had interactions with the political party, you know, cause it was pretty popular

  Also, since Medic has probably been around since before the whole WWII thing, he probably learned the original version of the anthem and forgot to not sing the first part cause he's completely hammered (Or maybe I'm just desprately trying to justify my mistake :p )

  im not trying to beat you down or anything, but im of the firm opinion that most people will remember not to do something like that even when drunk (i mean, it might happen, but [shrug]) medic wouldve been 13 at the start of ww2 according to the wiki
