Question

Will they make them sing in German even the pigeon? Explain

Answer 1

This mean that the pigeons have there own language "coo" so they can't sing this in different language .so franz was thinking that would germans make the pigeons to sing in german. He says that the prussian will not be able to impose rules on the animals as they do on humans

Answer 2

The French districts of Alsace and Lorraine came under the regime of Prussia (Germany) after getting defeated by them. As the new administrative control, it was declared that the use of French would be minimized and the use of German would be mandatory. The order came from Berlin to teach only German in the schools. After knowing about the order there arose a sudden likeness of French for one of the student Franz. He was so heartbroken about this that he remarked: "will they make them sing in German even the pigeon?" This line is symbolic as it implies that the use of any language can only be forced upon humans and not on birds or animals. Thus, slavery can only be limited to people and not nature.
