The German one is not that... Liberating:

So lang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird die Schraube rechts gedreht.

As long as the German empire exists, the screw gets turned right. It's a bit dated.

We must revive the German Empire to preserve the integrity of our screws and bolts!

That's funny. How does that one help exactly?

It's a very long rhyme. It's what the Germans have instead of humor.

I think the German is more like "the screw screws to the right", implying to unscrew turn left. And it's relying on alliteration as the mnemonic device.
