Chile's president apologises to Germany for slogan - Telegraph

Chile's president is apologising for writing a slogan associated with Nazi Germany in a government guest book during a visit to Berlin.  
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chilean President Sebastian Pinera listen to their national anthems during the welcoming ceremony in Berlin
The phrase Sebastian Pinera wrote was "Deutschland uber alles," or "Germany above all." It became infamous under the Third Reich and after World War II was excised from Germany's national anthem as too nationalistic.
