I think Don Canet needs a little geography lesson (or maybe just look at a damn map). Nurburg is in western Germany not southern Germany. Sorry, can't stand sloppy/lazy "journalism". Rant over.

Umm, that is a map of western Germany, Luxemburg, part of Belgium, and part of Holland. It is missing about 70% of the whole of Germany. Is geography really that difficult? Let me help:
