Greatest German military songs part 2

ADFSDF1996

Here’s part two. Wow I have to say that I’m quite disgusted by how some ignoramuses use the guilt by association and false equivalence fallacy just because I like listening to German military songs that have nothing to do with the third reich. Seriously some people are just too stupid that no amount of education can remedy their stupidity. As the old saying goes, “you can’t fix stupid”. And just because a composer was part of the Nazi party is not a valid excuse to to call some of these songs “Nazi songs” because the songs do not reference politics, the composer(s) weren’t fanatics and the composer(s) never committed any war crimes. But I digress, here are even more German military songs that have nothing to do with the nazi regime

“Im Wald Im grüne walde”(within the green forest), composed during the 19th century, composer unknown: A song about a forest in Germany. It’s famous for sounding similar to glory glory hallelujah at certain parts. It’s still a popular song in Germany today in the 21st century.

“Fredericus Rex”, composed one 1860 by Ferdinand Radeck: A old German song that glorifies Frederick the great and his battles. The song is still played by several German music groups.

“Helenenmarsch”, composed 1857 by Frederick Lübberta: A popular German march that is still played by various German military bands.

“Prussian Praesentiermarsch”, composed 1820 by Frederick William III: A popular march used when German leaders indie t their troops. It’s still used today by the bundeswehr.
“Ich Hatte Einen Kameraden”(I once had a comrade)composed in 1825 by Frederick Silcher: A German requiem for fallen soldiers, it’s based off a Swiss folk song and is still used by the German Bundeswehr today.

“Muss I denn”, date composed 1827, composer Frederich Silcher: A very popular German folk song used by both military and civilian musicians. It talks about random topics like a village and marriage. It’s very popular around the world. It’s most famous version was sung by Elvis Presley.

“Augen Geradeaus”(eyes forward)composer unknown(attributed to Eric Weinert ensemble), date unknown(during cold war): An East German march popular amongst the national people’s army. It’s not used anymore but many recordings of it are available in m YouTube. Let’s see how many ignoramuses still call it a “Nazi” song even though it was composed in communist East Germany.

Es wolt Ein mädchen früh Aufstehn, date composed unknown, composer unknown: A German folk song about a woman in a forest. The song is still played by various musical groups.

“Drei Lilien”(three Lilies), date composed unknown, composer Gustav Kneip: A German song about three lily flowers. It was popular during WWII but is still played by the bundeswehr.

“Monika” composer unknown, composed either during Cold War or 2006: A popular German military song which has mysterious origins. While it’s often attributed to being an East German military song, some people have claimed that it is a much newer song composed as recent as 2006. Although not much info is available on the song, it is most likely an East German song about a woman named Monika.

”wir Sind die anfang, nicht das ende”(we are the beginning, not the end), composer unknown, date composed unknown possibly 1970s: Not exactly w military song but it is too good to exclude. A song about how Germany will rise from the ruins and will one day be whole again. It also speaks against the oppressive East German government in it’s lyrics by saying “brothers in the East, your suffering is our suffering.” “We will never bow to a red dictatorship”. A very powerful song.

These are 15 more great German military songs that have nothing to do with the third reich.
