German Navy's Imperial March on London

The German Navy played The Imperial March from a ship as they came up the Thames.

A spokesman said there was 'no deeper meaning' to the music associated with character Darth Vader.

And they say Germany doesnt have a sense of humour!

"It's an older code but it checks out.

I was about to clear them."

They finally managed to get some Stormtroopers up the Thames!

Suits British humour really so I expect zero people were upset.

[hrfvandermeer]

I’m Dutch but this ís unexpected humor. And that from the Germans 😂😂

[jaydub]

😂 as a Londoner we appreciate the jokes

[FlorianPestilenz]

They played "London Calling" at arrival and "Imperial March" at departure

British people: "We remember what the germans did"

German navy: Wir Auch

[MMiragee]

We British find this funny, 90% of London will have no clue what this is about…🤣🤣

For those wondering:
This is pure banter, a joke, by our represents of the german navy.
They play the theme song of a fictional (evil) character starting a war that he loses in the end. Pretty much the same thing as what happened about 80 years ago.

BUT: its NOT a joke about what happened in ww2 (holocaust), its a joke that 80 years later those few navy sailors „finally“ made it to england.

And thats great humor i‘d say. Most of our fellow british friends also appriciate this.

And people say the Germans don't have a sense of humour! This is hilarious 😂🇬🇧

German sense of humor on a one way trip to the British Museum.

"No deeper meaning?"
In other words, Germany admits that it's the reason everybody is thinking.

[northernsoul]

80years later and they finally arrived.. 😂

That one old veteran eating a sandwich by the river has just had his best bowel movement in 30 years

[EnglishViking]

Germans and British humour we are more like each other than both sides care to admit that's why I think we have such mutual respect 🫡

[Yamasuba]

This stunt rated higher than the Acolyte will ever be

[Jaygreeno]

😂 Da soll nochmal wer sagen, wir Deutschen hätten keinen Humor💪💯

[nathanpost]

Imperial troops have entered the base…imperial troops have entered the base…
