Dutch public broadcaster NPO has apologised for wrongly subtitling the German national anthem when it was played before the team’s European Championship match against England in London.
The NPO subtitling department’s Twitter account says “the wrong verse was accidentally shown” and has apologised to viewers who were offended by the error.
The verse beginning “Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles” was dropped in post-World War II Germany.
England beat Germany 2-0 on Tuesday to advance to the Euro 2020 quarterfinals.
