you got to hand it the germans skipper,there were some very rousing marching songs,that would lift morale and concentrate the mind,ray..
Not only marching songs, some were adapted from poems, they are more like tradition and many existed befroe the 3rd Reich and/or are still sung nowadays.
heres the song lyrics to panzerlied,maybe time for a singalong! Whether it storms or snows Whether the sun shines upon us The day burning hot Or the night freezing cold Dusty are our faces But happy we are at heart We're at heart Our tank roars ahead Along with the storm wind With thundering engines Fast as a lightning bolt The enemy engaging Within our armor plates Come on comrades In the battle, all alone We stand all alone That's how we strike deep Into the enemy's ranks When an enemy tank Appears ahead of us Full throttle is given And we close with the foe What value then is our life For the army of our nation Yes army of our nation For to die for Germany Is our highest honour With obstacles and tanks The enemy blocks our path We laugh about it And simply pass them by And if we are threatened by guns Hidden in the yellow sand In the yellow sand We find ourselves a path That no one else found And if we are abandoned By that unfaithful luck And if we don't return To our homeland again If a bullet strikes us down If our fate calls upon us Yes our fate upon us Then for us the tank will be An honorable grave. Ob's stürmt oder schneit, Ob die Sonne uns lacht Der Tag glühend heiß Oder eiskalt die Nacht Bestaubt sind die Gesichter Doch froh ist unser Sinn Ist unser Sinn Es braust unser Panzer Im Sturmwind dahin Mit donnernden Motoren Geschwind wie der Blitz Dem Feinde entgegen Im Panzer geschützt Voraus den Kameraden Im Kampf steh'n wir allein Steh'n wir allein So stoßen wir tief In die feindlichen Reihn Wenn vor uns ein feindliches Heer dann erscheint Wird Vollgas gegeben Und ran an den Feind! Was gilt denn unser Leben Für unsres Reiches Heer? Ja Reiches Heer? Für Deutschland zu sterben Ist uns höchste Ehr. Mit Sperren und Minen Hält der Gegner uns auf Wir lachen darüber Und fahren nicht drauf Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze Versteckt im gelben Sand Im gelben Sand Wir suchen uns Wege Die keiner sonst fand Und läßt uns im Stich Einst das treulose Glück Und kehren wir nicht mehr Zur Heimat zurück Trifft uns die Todeskugel Ruft uns das Schicksal ab Ja Schicksal ab Dann wird uns der Panzer Ein ehernes Grab.

dont want to hijack but its a ww2 dad thing played em in ships mess taught me comb and jews harp too.
yeah s orry skip.. iwas really leading into the wording that sniper provided. the militaristic music thing to 1 entertain troops etc..white cliffs...glen miller stuff. the pop of its time was one thing..happy slappy if you like.. then there are the jingoistic sort..brits and yanks had their historical and great almost masterpieces..rule brittania..land of hoe..glory glory etc.etc.. but the haunting music aside.. the words to german equivalents always amaze me this one inclded and shows the worst side as well as the best side of that countries musical abilities and traits.
