This is fascinating. Germany is so terrified of any vestige of Nazism that they censor what is obviously a satirical use of a Nazi slogan that mocks the idea of eugenics. I wonder whether sanitizing their history is a wise thing; if the German people are ignorant of and protected from their past, then perhaps they will more easily revert to what could be more typical behavior. In that case it may get a bit sporty in Germany, unless they are overwhelmed by the Muslim horde before they can flex their authoritarian muscles.
