ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- Swiss television has made an embarrassing mistake in broadcasting a Euro 2008 soccer match.
The Swiss national broadcaster made the anthem error before the match between Germany and Austria.
National broadcaster SRG turned back time on Monday when it offered subtitles accompanying Germany's national anthem that mistakenly included the "Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles" lyrics, a first verse ignored since the fall of the Third Reich.
The faux pas occurred during the channel's live coverage of Austria vs. Germany at the European Championship, with the mass circulation daily Blick showing a picture of fans singing the anthem. Below them are subtitles available on most TV sets reading: "Germany, Germany above everything, above everything in the world!"
The controversial verse was popular under Nazi rule.
