Nice.

Surprised they used that slogan though. Seems too similar to another slogan from the past.

Well, it's the first paragraph of the third stanza of ''Das Lied der Deutschen,'' (''The song of the Germans'') which is the national anthem of Germany. For historic reasons stanza #1 and #2 have been ''discarded.''
Moreover, ''Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit'' (Unity & Justice & Freedom'') is the (unofficial) motto of Germany.
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied

By the way, I found these two just recently in circulation:

@Redlock - Thanks. Some info I didn't know about although I was referring it's similarity to the slogan "Ein Folk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer".
