BERLIN, GERMANY-NOVEMBER 26: Dietmar Fahrenwald Pipe Band member of the 'Berlin Thistle Pipe & DRums' at the Commonwealth War Graves of Berlin 1939-1945 War Cemetery, Berlin, Germany on November 26, 2021. Dietmar, a former Berlin Police Officer, is a member of the Scottish Pipe band "Berlin Thistles, Pipes and Drums", one of three Pipe bands in Berlin, Germany. He practices his piping at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery on Heerstraße, Berlin. Dietmar: "I think it is so important to remember those that gave their lives, and I think the soldiers lying here appreciate the sounds of my pipes. I grew up near the Alexander Barracks in West Berlin, and the British troops stationed there had many ceremonies involving the Pipes, and that is when the Bagpipes touched me, as a boy." Dietmar has been been playing the Bagpipe or "Dudelsack", as they are called in German, since 2002. He reflects the love affair that Germans generally have with all things Scottish. Germans alongside Americans make up the majority of Scotland's tourists with a special especially interest in the Highlands. (Photo By Craig Stennett/Getty Images)
