OK, I’ll grant you internet points for being the first to “point it out” as long as you’re not claiming to be the first person here to notice it. ;-)

Uh, yeah, I saw that. It points to another ironic take on “Die Wacht am Rhein.” It does not say what my post said. To amplify that: the caption matches the sound and rhythm of the original verse so well it’s almost Joycean; it must have been an Ohrwurm for more than one German soldier.

Hmm, see the middle entry in the “similar sex blogging” list just above the comments?

Let me be the first to point out that the caption is a parody of a verse from “Die Wacht am Rhein”: “Fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein.”
