yes the day is called "Volkstrauertag"

volk = nation, people

trauer = dolour

tag = day

two sundays bevor first advent.

Germany has a Volkstrauertag day, which is two sundays before Advent, and is to remember those who died in war.

We have, and it's even free of selv-love. Germans were dying for their country, and their families, and for god - or should I say, they were told so, like every soldier in the world who was sent out to kill, and die. It was a bad end to be executed as a "coward" instead, like everywhere in the world. And the "strongest" of all, who were full of "patriotism", talking, and acting quicker than they could think, were the first to die, like everywhere in the world. The survivors were building monuments later, and introduced a Rememberance Day, like... Ours will be next Sunday.

Trauer means sadness, or mourning. Germans are helping the UN in Afganistan and Iraq.
I just wish someone would sick the Luftwaffe on the mountains where Bin Laden is hiding.

I think Germany should rather have a "happiness day". And I think it should be the 9th of November, although this has been a sad day in German history sometimes, but it was also the day when the Mauer (the Berlin Wall) fell by the will and the power of the people. We should have made this our Remembrance Day, remembering the tears of joy and the enthusiasm, but also thinking of what happened on another Nov9ths in our history. The officially selected new national holiday, Oct3rd, is rather neglected by the people. That was the day the unification treaty was signed, or so. Well, nobody cares. It's a holiday, and you'll have a day off work, so what?

Read about the 9th of November, and what it meant to German history, and I'm sure you'll understand why I propose this as OUR national holiday AND remembrance day.
