It is from a famous speech of Hitler that marked the beginning of the second world war.

If I remember correctly the Chilean miner rescue was covered as extensively here in Germany as the search for the Titan. Another example would be the Kursk drama, which received huge media coverage as well. I think it's that these dramas unfold over several days and thus capture the interest of the people. The coverage would be far less if the fate of the submersible has been known on day one, as is often the case with the horrible deaths in the Mediterranean.

Most of the hardware and financial aid is donated. As far as I know the Biden administration even expressly rejected a lend-lease program so there is no pressure for Ukraine to pay it back.
