  • The first verse and the melody of the "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned), better known as "Wo alle Straßen enden", was written by Horst-Heinz Henning in the 50s or 60s. The other four stanzas were added by Karl Sternau.

      @@wiktorantonovs1766 the reason why real wars have appeared to stop is because of the work required to declare war on another country. For example, the Falklands. Britain and Argentina didn’t declare war because it would be too much of a hassle for other countries because of procedures for war. A channel called ‘History Matters’ has a really good video on it that goes into more detail.

      You clearly haven't heard many war songs. Blood on the Risers, for example. Since this particular song is post war, I think it's also fair to mention Denis Maydanov's songs Тишина and Танкист Летёха. That's without mentioning the dozens of songs written by Chechen and Afghan war veterans, or Yugoslav war veterans. That sort of dark and melancholy tone is pretty typical of Slavic music, actually, whether its about war or not

They hadn't trucks to pull the wounded out of the battlefield, they had to expose themselves to horrible infections and constant shelling while not being able to advance or retreat, they had to lie in muddy holes stinking of urine, blood and faeces or die blown to pieces by some lucky shell, and in the meanwhile they suffered from cold and eventually trench foot if they were careless and/or unlucky enough.

    My gramps is too young to have witnessed WW1, but was caught up in the tail end of WW2 (born in 1930). He's told me some very haunting stories, but also many that were rather heartwarming. When he and his friends were told that they had to help defend against the Allied invasion at age 15, they met some frontline survivors who had survived the eastern front, who simply told them "War's over lads, just head home" and luckily, they did.
    War is terrible, no matter how you look at it. For 2023 and onwards, all I want is a more peaceful world.

    I am amazed by how the translation, even though quite a bit different from the actual lyrics, has been changed up to a more poetic version (matching syllables, etc.) without actually disrupting the message at all. This way, it rhymes but is still conveying the correct image. If that's been done by you, hats off!

      @TheOneThatFlies Filler Indeed. They deserve so much more respect and gratitude than our generation tends to show them. For example, here in Finland, many young people openly despise the ”Reds”, hypocritically forgetting that most of the soldiers at the front in both Winter War and Continuation War (and Lapland’s War) were, indeed, ”Red”. My heart goes for all, who fought for their country’s freedom and future, on all sides, who gave their lives for that, or watched their friends die, day in and day out; as well as for their children, many of whom were orphaned much too young, and for their parents, many of whom lost their children to war, and just, in general, their families, friends, and those close to them. Thank you, great-grandparents.

      @@theonethatfliesfiller4098 That's a fucking lie. We do not enjoy our peace and freedom because people fought for it. People fought for it and we realized it's pointless and we sat together, formed alliances with the goal in mind to stop fighting.
      Saying it's the war that made the peace is like saying it's the slavery that gave black people rights. It's complete and utter bullshit and I cannot fathom how anybody could every romanticize war in that way.
      You know what really stopped war in central europe?
      Mothers and Fathers realizing that there is no "Vaterland", that the only quality that makes a land great is that it is safe enough, that your children do not have to go to war to fight for some rich men and women, all related to each other and playing a game of monopoly in which not they, but the small guy looses. That is what stopped war. Democracy and the associated right to elect people who do not want massive armadas and fleets and colonies to boost their ego. That's what stopped war. Being able to meet our neighboor and actually notice that the frenchman is less french and more man, like ourselves. That's what stopped war.
      @Simo Heinonen I think it's great that you can enjoy the little things in life. I hope both of you get the chance to enjoy your life to the fullest. I apologize in advance if I was too harsh, BUT we NEED to stop romaniticizing war. There is nothing great about it, literally.

    • @PC_Simo

      @PandaTrip Thank you, and all the same to you. Separately, I think TheOneThatFlies Filler meant that it’s because of the sacrifices our forefathers made in all those wars that we in the free world can live in relative peace and safety, not because of war itself. If there never was a war, they never would have had to make those sacrifices, and we still would be able to live in peace and safety. Perhaps even more so, because there would be no vicious cycle of revenge. But yeah, I agree about the need to stop romanticizing war. Being a Finn, ”Tuntematon sotilas” (”The Unknown Soldier”), being shown every year on Dec 6th, is among the first war movies I saw, and it’s a great movie to make you stop romanticizing war. ”Johnny Got His Gun” is also a great novel-made-into-a-movie for that purpose.

      @TheOneThatFlies Filler That is very true, actually; and one of the better examples of a ”good democracy” is, in my opinion, Switzerland, because of their direct democracy. All these problems tend to be extra prevalent in representative democracy. That being said, I totally understand that a direct democracy wouldn’t work in most countries, which are not as picky about their citizens as Switzerland is. 👌🏻

    Heftiges Lied. Die Intensität ist Gänsehaut erregend. Manchmal frage ich mich, ob die Eindrücke unserer Großväter in uns wohl wiederhallen. Das würde jedenfalls erklären, weshalb mich das so auflädt. Dann und wann weine ich auch, wie ein Kind. Meistens erfüllt es meine Brust aber mit Inbrunst, dann will ich wieder durchhalten.
    Das ist Aufbaumusik. So erlich, so nah, so wahr.

      Jein. Manche mögen die Erfahrung in vorherigen Inkarnationwn tatsächlich gemacht haben, andere wiederum nicht. Und dann gibt es noch die Epigenetik, das vererben von Erfahrungen, zu denen auch Kriegstraumata (die nicht nur Soldaten, sondern ganz massiv auch Zivilisten betreffen) gehören. Wenn deine Seele ein Kriegstrauma hat, deine Vorfahren aber auch, biste dann sozusagen doppelt belastet.

    The two biggest parts of the song for me are "Some roots that smell like corpses are all we have to eat" and "I'll only know that I'm deceased when Mother cries for me" are some of the most powerful sentences I've ever heard. Genuinely shows the disparity these men, not just the Germans, but all men on the Eastern and Western front felt. This was WW1, they were no "good guys and bad guys" like WW2, even that is subjective.

      Sadly, some verses aren't translated accurately (supposedly to make the translation more melodic), for instance "Die Augen flackern angefüllt vom grauenvollen Krieg", a literal translation would be: "The eyes flicker infused with horrifying war". They depict the eyes of shellshock.

He was a writer and is famous for a book set during World War I "All Quiet on the Western Front". (That's the English title anyway). I don't know whether it is read much these days. I read it many, many years ago when I was young (I'm in my early 70s now).
