'Deutschland ueber alles'?

'Deutschland ueber alles'?

Through national television broadcast I followed the memorial
ceremony of the late Ibu Tien Soeharto starting at the
President's residence on Jl. Cendana in Central Jakarta.

When the coffin wrapped in the national red and white flag was
being carried to be loaded into the funeral coach, I recognized
among the lamentations the solemn sound of a well-known but
almost forgotten beautiful melody -- believe it or not --
Deutschland Ueber Alles.

I am sure this was not programmed intentionally but was just
due to some inaccuracy on the part of the producers.
