hi, as many people who are intrested in WWII Wehrmacht are also intrested in German military marches (me too ), tell us what are your favourite ones are! my favourite ones are
Erika
Lili Marleen
Es Gehts alles Voruber
Wenn Wir Marschirien, zum Meer, zum Deutsche Tor Hinaus...
Die Ganze Kompanie
Wenn Die Soldaten, Sutch die stadt marschrien...
Panzerlied
hello haen, I remember you said on this forum or AHF your unit sang Westerwald on command of your Commander when jeered by a crowd while marching into captivity?
It would be nice if you all could post lyrics to you favorite marches! Meanwhile, I'll make some PR for my Postcard thread with illustrated lyrics of catchy songs...
Westerwald, Schatz ach Schatz, Lilli Marleen, and especially Erika. Panzerlied is not really a marching song, I do not believe., but perhaps I am mistaken. Regardless, it is also is one of my personal favorites. The instrumental theme at the troop formation at Stalingrad is quite transfixing. I wish I knew what it was called. With the German Wehrmacht, the hits just keep on coming!

You mean the one in the opening scene where an officer from the Afrika campaign speaks? The march is"prasesntemarch" or something like that, some Prussian march written by King Fredrick III of Prussia in the 1810s Napoleonic era. Also if you are intrested about music in Stalingrad movie, the ones they sing on the train is "Ein Heller und die Batzen", and when travelling to combat the T34s in the snow they sing "O Tannebaum", a christmas tune, not a soldier's song, but nevertheless popular with soldiers on Christmas.
I'm happy to see another "Military music thread"
I like most of the marches, but here is my favourites:
Unser Rommel ( I did'nt like it so much when I first heared it, but now things have changed and I really do like this one)
Westerwald
Panzergrenadier Lied
Panzerlied
Lisa, Lisa
Es war ein Edelweiss
Pruessens Gloria
Ade Polenland
And many others, who's name I've forgotten. This may be a little off topic, but I am a big fan of Bavarian folkmusic.

Hoped this helped

Is there a way to verify the title of that song? You seem unsure. Of course I know O Tannenbaum. Stalingrad had its flaws, but it was still a good movie. I just wish it was less politcal. The demonization of that officer as epitomy of the regime was hand over fist.
