Interesting Video: German Army Band Parading In Moscow's Red Square

A very interesting video to watch. This is the band of the German Bundeswehr parading in Red Square as part of an international military band competition. They play some of the best of the old Prussian and German marching tunes. It's a marvelous sign of just how far we have come in international relations (at least in Europe) in the last seventy years.

However, I can't help but smile a little at the thought of old Stalin rolling over in his grave in the Kremlin at the sound of a German military band in his front yard, considering how hard the Soviets fought to keep the Germans out of Moscow back in 1941-1942.
