This first the first time I ever uncovered the rebus theme myself! I was so stoked! That was fun, thank you!
I'm sure this has been said before, but since this is the second time in a few weeks that O notice this: If the speed unit hint is associated with an Autobahn, it would make more sense for it to solve to km/h, amd not kph. No German in Germany would use kph.
@Hardroch After your explanation, I stand corrected! It's wonderful to do a Sunday puzzle in the NYT and learn something about your German hometown. Have a great Sunday.
As someone from and in Bremen, I would like to remark that St. Pauli (the football club, the borough, and also associated beer if any) is in Hamburg. Becks is from Bremen. And the four town musicians.
As a German speaker, I'd like to express my boredom at 99% of the clues requiring me to write "Ach". The word is not used like most clues imply. I wish puzzle makers would improve the clues, or stop asking for the word.
