- Song about the peasant revolt against the church and nobles in 1524.
Florian Geyer was a German nobleman who sided with the peasants during the war and acted as their negotiator, he also helped organize their army as well as their battle strategies. With his own money he deployed a unit of about 100 men. The unit's name was "Black Unit" or "Black Company"

Deserves more attention, because this is the first time I it has an actual explaination and not a nazi background.
The instrumental version that you hear in every single video is from the DDRR
@@druidgorefiend8915 Its DDR btw. (Deutsche Demokratische Republik)
@@Misanthrope83 I think the "instrumental version" they're talking about is the recording made by the NVA
It originally was a poem from around the 1500s, but was fully adopted into a song by a future Nazi. However both leftists and rightists adopted it, due to its revolutionary lyrics, either labor or nation-people type.
At the end of the day I'd say that the song is first and foremost, a German one, regardless of who used it. It's very reflective of the country's history of war and trying to make a mark for itself.
It was composed by a nazi
Least exiting german song:
better check out the rock version
This is such a great song, I sure hope it doesn't get co-opted by genocidal maniacs.
and 2 armies made for oppression (Schutz Staffel and Nationale Volksarmee)
Schutzstaffel wasn't the combat branch of the party it was the Waffen SS and it was under the OKW during war time. Nationale Volksarmee didn't commit genocide as it had no chance to fortunately. Though the Stasi could be blamed for genocide and anti-jewish progroms just like the Soviet Union@@Misanthrope83
You mean Heroes?
@@mwol5473 I mean Nazis.
@@mwol5473 no
Funnily, the song, being composed in 1920 (and even though I know it relates to the old medieval times and not 1920 itself), the grandchildren mentioned would be in a divided capitalist-communist Germany, to "put up a better fight". Kind of a funny prediction, to some extent.
It uses the tune of Szara Piechota which was probally written either during or just after the Great war
The original poem was made in the 1500s, the lyrics adapted with a composition by an NSDAP affiliate (though I don't remember his name
@@DarlingtonWorks1863 False & a lie
@@kalionmyyuga the 2 songs are very very similar so it shouldn't be ruled out entirely
@@DarlingtonWorks1863 it's a different tune
Dankeschön

Spirited version, this arrangement almost sounds Greek or Balkan
You earned anew sub from me, mate
can somebody explain to me why this song has 2 diffrent versions?
This is the original one (I think), but there is also a version made to be a Nazi propaganda song. I think I've heard a communist version somewhere as well
What is this version?
die streuner version
Original
Мне нравица ета песня почему когда я ейо слушаю я наченаю настальгиривать по временам крестових походов!
Little late for that

Was ist dieses Sprache?😂
The rainbow of the covenant had 7 colours, not 6.
I'm not a Christian and I don't know the details of the story (however I think it makes sense considering the importance of number 7 in the Bible)
That was the flag that showed up in my research
hate everything this song stands for, but it has a catchy tune
what does the song stand for?
@@ThatCamel104 antireligion,antinobility etc.
@@FritzVonKai what's wrong with being anti-nobility lol i dont get it? plus their flag was about upholding god's covenant, not destroying it...
@@ThatCamel104 many things with being nti-logical,plus,they say they were Lutheran,Luther himself denounced them,and they would burn down churches and monasteries,they would R@*e and do other horrible stuff
@WitchHunterSiegfried I speak German,and yes it does,but burning down monasteries R-ing Nuns and other stuff is not 1 religious and 2 Lutheran
OMNIA SUNT COMMUNIA
drauf und dran means up and down
Directly translated yes, but in this case it means hurry.

history tends to have a left wing bias
You have a left winged bias
This song never was about left wing or right wing, its about Peasants Who got brutally pacified by monarchists
@@BvrteQ_Polandia the revolt is viewed as proto-communist uprising
@@kiesarisunny13false
Reality has a left wing bias
This isn't Szara Piechota?
No, Szara Piechota is a polish song.
If you meant that they have a similar melody, I don't think that's the case
@@AnthemsOfEurope I think they do
@@AnthemsOfEurope they're very similar
No. They don’t sound alike either. Szara Piechota shares a melody with a famous Romanian song though, so maybe I’m just used to listening to that and can’t break the connection
im not sure what that rainbow has to do with anything. are you making some kind of statement about florian? its not welcome.
The rainbow stands for the alliance between God and humanity, while the text reads "the Word of the Lord endures forever, which is the sign of the eternal covenant of God".
That's pretty easy to pick up if you actually listen to the song instead of focusing on your fantasies of saving the world from the gays
@@AnthemsOfEurope But there is a political organisation called LGBT. It has rainbow as its symbol
Why gay satan rainbow?
erm, what the sigma?
The rainbow was created by god as a promise to never flood the earth again
It wasn't gay back then
@@gnas1897 rainbow has 7 colours
Tell me you don’t know the context without telling me you don’t know the context.
