die_unteroffizer,

At one time I had a link to a website that had songs. I'll try to find it for you. Also it seems that one of my SS books had the lyrics for a song they sang. I'll do my best to find it. Good luck in the mean time.

Hi guys,

This has been covered in another thread; however, the first site below has recently been updated. The first link is to the song page of a great Tiger tank site, which now includes more lyrics and English translations. The second link is to the main Tiger tank site.

The next site (below) is excellent for buying original recordings, from Germany of the 1930's and 1940's (recently digitally cleaned and remastered, on CD).Be certain to read the whole page. At the bottom of the page is an address and contact information. Enjoy!

That site is great, Helmut Von Moltke! They also have a danish ww2 song, for Freikorps Danmark, later Regiment 24 in 11. SS Nordland. From what I know there also was a swedish song(but not on that site), recorded in 1942 I think.

hello Stalingrad,

the Swedish WWII song you are referring to is "Friheten Leve". It was the song of the Swedish national socialist party, and was sometimes sung at the front by Swedish Waffen-SS volunteers. And the Danish Waffen-SS song you referred to, Vi Er Danske Legionarre, it sounded great, I loved it! (Even though I first heard it way before, December last year...)

anyways here are the lyrics to "Friheten Leve".

Du folk, som förslavades i lögner och skam,
se frihetens dag ännu kan gry,
i tätnande led marscherar ungdomen fram
till kamp över stad och land och by.
Från nordlandets dunkelblåa skogar och fjäll
till soliga österskär och sund
vi ropa kring, dalarne och bergen vårt hell
för denna frihets unga morgonstund

Refräng:
Sverige fritt är en lösen för alla när vårt folk bryter upp ur sina främmande band
kapitalsmidda bojor skall falla för valkig hand.
Vi se borgarnas bleka fanor slakna och hur marxismen står i brand
då vi höja vårt rop: Sverige vakna kring härjat land.

Till kamp får signalen mot förtryckarnas här
som slog oss i skulder och i nöd,
vi vill inte längre inför guldets begär
se folket bereda sig på död.
Det brinner en eld i hundratusende bröst
för frihet, för hem och fosterjord,
allt högre mot himmeln stiger ungdomens röst:
vi måste leva - kraft i våra ord.

(refr.)

Låt fanorna stiga över kämpande led,
till resning i morgonljus vi gå
det finns ingen återväg, det finns ingen fred,
så länge förtryckarvapen slå.
Låt sångerna ljuda om de skapandes rätt
i Sverige, vårt framtidsland och tro
om arbetets härdade och friborna ätt,
som under fanan tryggad måste bo!

regards,

Kevin
