There is something 'ironic' about everything to do with the German team playing in this month's Euro2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
The German team is staying in a luxury villa near 'Danzig'.
On Wednesday evening Angela Merkel arrived in the old 'East Prussian' villa to meet and greet the team
German television keeps talking about 'Danzig'. 'Breslau' 'Krakau' and 'Lemberg', today called Lviv.
There was something errie watching the German Chancellor arrive in her sleek limousine, flanked by BND personnel, at the 'East Prussian' villa last evening.
It gives an extra resonance to the current EU crisis joke: What the Germans failed to do with their tanks, they are now doing with their banks.
Of course, just a joke.
