Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from Dublin!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, Azure Hunts of Murray, and Jane Parkin.
And once again, we have gathered around that microphone with our four favorite facts of the last seven days,
and in that particular order, here we go!
Ok, calm the fuck down everyone.
Starting with fact number one, and that is, James.
Ok, my fact this week is that in 1954 it became illegal to bathe completely naked in East Germany,
so natureists started going to the beach wearing nothing but a tie.
So just before, well what, we've actually said this before,
Hitler banned natureism in the Nazi government, but almost immediately unbanned it because it was so unpopular.
And then it kind of became part of the Nazi tradition that, you know,
we're going to allow people to be naked if they want to be nudists if they want.
And so when East Germany became a country, and they wanted to be away from the fascists and with the communists,
they saw natureism as like this fascist symbol from the past.
And so they decided to ban it,
and there's a whole load of stories about what was happening with the natureists who just wanted to get along with the get off,
and the East German police really were not happy about it at all.
That's rough, nudity being taken down by fascism.
Unless you've got a swastika tattooed onto your penis, then I don't think they're related.
