You stated that you thought it was inappropriate for me to use European composers in a post about leaving the EU, did you not ? You thought Britain was part of the EU continent, the less said about that the better. I don't recall your answer in being corrected on that.
However to go back to Beethovens fifth German composer yes ? Adopted by the BBC during Ww2 yes ? Used by the occupied French knocking on doors,when hammering it was used at every opportunity car horns etc etc dot dot dot dash morse code
V for victory.
