The player is an idiot and doesn't even know his own country's history. Deutschlandlied where the phrase comes from was the German national anthem and predated the nazi regime. The song is actually still the anthem but only the third stanza.
And for the most part Deutschlandlied was replaced by Horst-Wessel-Lied which was the co-anthem of Nazi Germany but for all intents and purposes was the primary anthem of Germany. Only the first stanza of Deutschland would be played (the uber alles one) and then the entire Horst Wessel Lied would be played.
