In the original American version they had German accents, and sometimes spoke German (with english subs) to each other. They were never officially given a specific nationality in the movie though.

They even made the title lamer: From "Die Hard" to "Stirb langam" - "Die Slowly"

Happens quite often here, e.g. in the German Simpsons dubbing Uter is a Swiss - easier for language jokes, as this way we can do lingo jokes about the Swiss accent.

An example where the dubbing improved the experience would be "Top Secret" - Val Kilmers first movie. They made the soldiers speak with East German accents. It was hillarious when we first saw the movie and rolled on the floor laughting. Then, when the wall came down, and heard the first 'Easties' talking, we realized that there are really people out there who speak like that

Here is an example of the accent, YMCA sung in saxon

Since we're on the subject: how do you say "It's just a fleshwound" .

In my neck the woods, marching bands are marching bands. They do not celebrate revolutions, wars or anything of a political nature.

Maybe thats why they don't win the marching bands competitions like Oxford does.
So I take it their aviation theme was only Ok if it was civil aviation and didn't imply that other sorts of planes flew.

The subject at hand is not about a competition. However, there is countywide and statewide competition in my school district and state. The uniforms do not change. They can not afford to change uniforms.

Who would conduct a marching band show about aviation? Tribesman, this is not like you. You have been reading too much Yubba.

In 2008, the Souderton Area High School Big Red Marching Band (that's one long name) did, in fact perform a show where the theme was flight. It was a purchased (aka 'cookie cutter') show.
