Gramophone: Wir fahren gegen Engelland


 
   

This is an old german WW-II propaganda-song. Called "Matrosenlied" or "Wir fahren gegen Engelland". It was already wrote by Hermann Loehns in WW-I, but it become far more popular in WW-II. It was the inoffical song of the german U-Boat crews in WW-II. It was used in the german propaganda-movie "U-Boote westwaerts!" (1941) in the end-credits too.The record was made in 1939 and is in a good condition. Played by "Reichsmusikzug des Reichsarbeitsdienstes mit Chor", Obermusikzugfuehrer Herms Niel, Polydor 11357.Today, it is one of the many "Nazi-Songs" banned by the government here in germany. But nobody can forbid someone to play an old original- record of it. The copyrights are expired. I bought this record together with the gramophone on a flea-market. It is a piece of history, even it is a somber part of the history of germany.Here are the german lyrics:Heute wollen wir ein Liedlein singen,trinken wollen wir den kuehlen Weinund die Glaeser sollen dazu klingen,denn es muss, es muss geschieden sein.Gib mir deine Hand, deine weisse Hand,leb wohl, mein Schatz, lebe wohl, mein Schatz, leb wohl.Lebe wohl, denn wir fahren, denn wir fahren,denn wir fahren gegen Engeland, Engeland!Unsre Flagge und die wehet auf dem Maste.Sie verkündet unseres Reiches Macht.Denn wir wollen es nicht laenger leiden,daß der Englischmann darueber lacht.Gib mir deine Hand, deine weisse Hand,leb wohl, mein Schatz, lebe wohl, mein Schatz, leb wohl.Lebe wohl, denn wir fahren, denn wir fahren,denn wir fahren gegen Engeland, Engeland!Kommt die Kund, dass ich bin gefallen.Dass ich schlafe in der Meeresflut,weine nicht um mich, mein Schatz und denke,fuer sein Vaterland, da floss sein Blut.Gib mir deine Hand, deine weisse Hand,leb wohl, mein Schatz, lebe wohl, mein Schatz, leb wohl.Lebe wohl, denn wir fahren, denn wir fahren,denn wir fahren gegen Engeland, Engeland!

Well no music can really be considered evil. All pieces carry a message behind them... No matter what the message is... This message just pisses me off, that's all. I won't say the song sucks, but... Meh...

Henry Ford? A NICE man? Had a pact with the Devil, so maybe he was nice to him, but the rest of the human race he just wanted to use and abuse.

Very beautiful song. Somehow melancholic.

Henry Ford was a nice man - even as masoner.Read his book "The international Jew".

It makes me think of my mother - who made parts for Spitfires in a factory in Barking, and father who was an engineer in Fords Motors, at Dagenham, making parts for tanks to destory Hitler. Both places are East of London, where the Nazi planes came every night.They used to tell me about the German flying-bombs, the air-raids, and Rationing of food and clothes. Fascinating times. I think Henry Ford supplied investment for Hitler, before USA joined the war. Maybe even AFTER. Horrible man.
