The song has been claimed by another entity, I am not running ads on this video.

When the art teacher doesn’t like the way you draw lines so you draw new lines across Europe.

When you realize the lightning bolts on your grandpa’s helmet doesn’t mean he’s an electrician

[chansus]

Never knew Germans could sing about flowers and bees so aggressively

[Nick-keph]

I play this song every morning to get my mind reich.

I mean right.

[magentapurpleyap]

I played this in class and now my art teacher gives me 100 every time for no reason.

My argentinian grandpa says this is a certified hood classic

I played this on my MP4, now it's an MP40. (reposted from the old one)

My father was in the Kriegsmarine (Uboats) and ended up in the Marine Infantry at the end of 1944. He sometimes used to get us up on Sundays by playing marches at full volume. This was one, Alte Kameraden, Panzerlied, I know them all. He's been gone a long time but I still listen to them. I walked with him through the last battlefield he fought over before being wounded. I learned the names of most of the men who were in the company he commanded while paying respects to them in the cemetery at Duran. Walking along the Kal trail at dusk, I would swear I felt the men all around me, looking down from the ridges, asking what did they die for? Such a waste. It's a pity we can't just take all the mouthy politician's and their masters and put THEM into the trenches when wars come. They would stop happening pretty damn quick.

Never imagined you could turn a song talking about women and flowers into a marching song of the military

As a French, after listening to this song, I’m now German.
Das ist wunderbar

My grandpa was born in Argentina and he loves this song! He showed me his cool uniform with 2 lightnings on it. He is a very cool electrician

I am South African, 76 now, and in the South African Defence Force in the 1960s and 1970s we frequently marched to Erika.
