If thats a question, yes, germany does not use the first two verses of the national anthem any more. The nazis made those uncomfortable.
The first two stanzas of "the song of the Germans" doesn't mention it either I think.
The third stanza (which is the national anthem in its entirety) is more aspirational than a look back on history.
"Unity and Justice and Freedom... Let's strive for that... May it blossom in the light of this happiness" and so on.
Austria is painted red tho.
Despite their "Bundeshymne" does not contain the word "Blut".

Yet, neither of the 3 verses of the Deutschlandlied mentions blood.
The first mentions only geographic terms ("von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Etsch bis an den Belt") and brotherly connection for protection and defence.
The second verse mentions women, loyality, wine and singing.
Only the third verse, on unity, right and freedom, is considered the national anthem of the Federal Republic.
Edit: Austria is painted in red on the map despite their "Bundeshymne" (federal hymn) doesn't contain the word "Blut" ('blood').
