Playing “Preußens Gloria” (Prussia’s Glory) at a 200 year anniversary of the battle at Waterloo where Prussian soldiers helped the British to crush the French is simply marvellous! :D
The coalition included some french royalists, Dutch, Brunswichers, British and others and outnumbered Napoleons troops 2 to 1. All sides fought with honour and at times brutality.
@@scanida5070 The French Napoleonic troops were outnumbered but fought exceptionally well. True Blucher who had been chased from the battlefield at Quatre Brae two days before decided to enter the fray. That said the Old Guard were broken and chased off by British Foot Guards regiments, The Coldstream Guards held Hougoumount throughout the battle and the Kings German Legion a British Corps) held onto la haye sainte until most of their garrison had been killed. 44plus thousand soldiers had been killed and many more wounded. Close Quater battle was far more lethal back then than it ever was since.
The german army is pretty much the only thing keeping anything german alive and not much of that Only other piece of German culture left is Oktoberfest but the Germans consider it ok cuz it’s Bavarian not Prussian cuz somehow Prussian culture is at fault for what an Austrian living in Bavaria did
The Bundeswehr has prussian traditions: - Drill -Light Infantry(thats why they dont goose step) -Barrets(1st used in the Napoleonic Wars) -Uniforms(field-grey), (Marine and Air Force uniforms are basicly the same as the Wehrmacht/ Reichswehr ones) -Rifle(Karrabiner K 98K) -Marching Music -Wachbattalion("guard batalion", prussian "1. Garderegiment zu Fuß" ) If you think that goose stepping or wearing a Pickelhaube/Stahlhelm are the only prussian traditions than you should probably shut your mouth because you dont have any idea. The goose step was only used in two occasions: 1) Marching past 2) Guard changing If there is no occassion like that, the goose step won't be used. The Bundeswehr sees itself as prussian "Light Infantry" which never goose steped. Only the "Line Infantry" marched in goose step at one of these two ocassions. The rest marched in the prussian "Gleichschritt" which the Bundeswehr still does. And parades where quite rare at the of the German Empire. So just shut up and stop complaining about the Bundeswehr. Everything they do is traditional according to the prussian drill rules. Greetings from a former german soldier🇩🇪

Great video! I will show it to everyone in Japan.We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much.God bless Germany and Germans.I am Japanese.Japan won the battle with Germany in the 1914 Battle of Qingdao, and many German prisoners of war were brought to Japan.It is a story in The Bando POW camp. The number of POWs who came to Japan was about 4,600. They were housed in eight barracks.Toyohisa Matsue was chosen as the chief of the Bando Camp.Matsue was a soldier of the Japanese Army. He ordered his men not to treat German POW absolutely like a criminal.He ordered his men to treat the German POWs with kindness.matsue told the Subordinate not to say anything that would give sense of guilt to POWs.Japan did not want a war with Germany. At that time, Britain and Japan were allies. There was a request from the United Kingdom, and it became a battle with Germany. Matsue began talking to the Germans.I will write his words briefly and briefly. "you guys was a patriot and a brave soldier. We Japanese promise to not treat you badly. We do not undermine your honor," the chief said to the Germans. Matsue and Japanese soldiers told the people of the town, "German is not a criminal. They are trustworthy people. Don't be afraid of anything. They are wonderful people. Let's be kind to Germans." At this time, the Japanese government decided to introduce German technology to Japan from Germans. Japan ordered each camp to receive guidance from German soldiers in all areas.There were leaders in each of the German prisoners of war, such as politics, economics, teaching of musical instruments, bread making, sausages, whiskeys, beer brewing, etc.The Japanese received instruction from them. Germans taught Japanese people how to grow vegetables that were not grown before at the farm. Germans taught Japanese people about German food and culture in various parts of Japan.The camp consisted of 26 Western-style buildings including a library, a printing shop, a bread factory and a confectionery factory.POWs were free to use those facilities. Beer, cheese, cigarettes and sausages were made in the camp and POWs were free to eat what they had made.It was permitted to smoke too. Also they were free to shop.There were many other sports facilities in the camp, such as tennis courts and soccer fields. POWs freely enjoyed the sport.Japan bought tools for sports.There were many young men going in and out of the camp.Germans taught them German culture and gymnastics.The Germans were paid a lot.There were farms, dairy farms and painting studios in the camp. There were various other facilities. There was almost no abuse of POWs in the camp.Discipline was least in all camps. In particular, the discipline at Bando Camp was the least. There was no violence or swearing against prisoners who did not keep discipline. If there was a Japanese who was violent to POW, the Japanese would soon become fired. It was also allowed to send money to families in Germany and other countries. Germans also told Japan how to make soap and MAYONNAISE.In addition, the Japanese learned how to make them because there was a germans of sausage craftsman. germans also taught japan the secrets of sausages. A German memorial service is held every November by inviting Germans to Japan at the Narashino Army Base.Germany surrendered in 1918 and World War I ended. Germans were not prisoners of war on June 28, 1919. From that day Germans were completely free to go out. There was a lot of interaction between the people of the city and the Germans. We offered tea and sweets to Germans who came to play, and taught Japanese culture.Some Germans were in love with Japanese women. The Germans gave a present to the Japanese a few days before they returned home. Thanks to that, the Japanese invited them to the town's house and let them eat a lot of food.And we had a farewell party at each house. At the last farewell, the townspeople saw off the marching Germans.Many Germans remained in Japan.They set up a company in Japan and married a Japanese. The company founded by Germans is now a big company. Japanese people continue to support by buying many at German made shops.After the war, Germans who spent time in the camp sent Japan many letters of thanks to Japan.The place where the Bando camp was located is now the German Village Park.Cenotaph was made in 1976.German culture and food have spread to Japan thanks to the Germans.Thank you very much to everyone in Germany. May God bless the German people!We Japanese love Germany and Germans.Before returning home, Germans decided to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony because they wanted to thank Japanese people.The performance was performed by 45 people.Before the performance, Maj. Gen. Heinrich, the governor of Qingdao, thanked the Japanese. Gen. Heinrich said: We lost the battle in Qingdao, we became POWs and came to this land. I can now leave this land with pride. That's thanks to Mr. Matsue. Mr. Matsue gave courage and strength at the hardest time of my life. Courage and power-. We want to present Beethoven's delight to everyone as a token of appreciation. Where in the world were there camps like Bando! There is no such wonderful person like Matsue anywhere in the world.Heinrich presented Mr. Matsue with his favorite Cane. He Say that "To my beloved friend".
We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much.Germany and Germans are the best in the world. God bless Germany and Germans.Japan's national anthem Kimigayo was made by Hayashi Hiromori and German Franz Eckert.Japan made the constitution, medicine, the army in by reference to Germany during the Meiji era. Japan succeeded in modernizing thanks to Germany. Japan learned a lot from Germany.There are two Germans statues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. There are many other German statues in Japan. Germany is a Japanese teacher.I always pray to God for the eternal happiness and peace of Germany.We Japanese sent 9,000 cherry blossom trees to Germany in 1990. It is said that the money of this cherry blossom trees is gathered by the donation of the Japanese and bought a cherry blossom trees . Almost all Japanese people participated in donations. The Japanese always cooperate with Germany.This cherry blossom tree is still in Berlin.We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much. Japan imports many German products to support Germany. The most imported cars in Japan are German cars.Most of the cars that run in my town are German cars.This is a story that Japanese people helped Germans in japanese Okinawa Miyakojima, Japan. In 1873, the German Merchant shipRobertoson was hit by a typhoon.The ship was aground off Miyakojima Miyakokuni. At that time, the islander rescues the crew.They gave some food to the Germans.They gave Germans a place to sleep. The islanders repaired the German ship.The days were 34 days.And the islanders put a lot of food and water on the ship and sent the Germans to Germany safely.There are still monuments sent from Germany in Okinawa.Japan will always help Germans from now on. After the war, the German city was destroyed and many Germans were killed. We Japanese are very sad about that. I pray to God that Germany will never be unhappy again. There is a tower in my town praying for the Germans soul to be saved.
Well, after some wonderful German marches they played Rule Britannia - what more can you ask? The "Germans" contribution at Waterloo was vital. The Luftwaffe bombed my mother 3 times (twice in Liverpool and once on her bomber station) but she forgave them when she later travelled through Germany and found they had clean loos (she travelled with my father, ex Bomber Command, fluent German speaker)! We have more in common ...... ha ha. They gotta loosen up :)))
Sorry that your mom gad to go through this… We are kin and should‘ve never fought each other! No more brothers wars! Let‘s work together to create a better world
+Kim Thomas No, its not. Entry Preussens Gloria. Then Königgrätzer (Hohenfriedberger is part of Königgrätzer). Meaning the Königgrätzer includes the Hohenfriedberger.
+comsubpac No. Not at all. They rarely play it. Almost never. They mostly play Prussian Glory, Regimentsgruß or Yorkscher March... They play "Rise of Valkyres", a classical piece from the 19th century, more often than the Hohenfriedberger...
+Leutnant82 Very stupid to play it, considering the march didn't exist firing the time of the event this parade is dedicated to... They should have played Regimentsgruß - Hohenfriedberger - Fredericus Rex - Amsbacher-Bayreuth...
Ansbach-bayereuth is the Dragoon Regiment to which the Hohenfriedberger is dedicated. The text of the Hohenfriedberger is in the refrain: Auf Ansbach Dragoner auf Ansbach-Bayreuth

Absolutely immature comments from many of you. Each year in June not long after trooping the colour, they have the beating retreat ceremony one weekday evening. Foreign contingents are usually invited to attend and the music is usually of a high standard of musicianship..
@@mamavswild Not with the Bundeswehr. Bundeswehr drill is based on Prussian light infantry drill (Jäger), the ancestors of modern infantry, and Prussian light infantry never goose stepped. The Paradeschritt was only done by the Prussian line infantry, which doesn't have a successor.
"Bleeuugh, american uniforms, bleeeugh no goosetep, bleeeugh not enough classic German marching songs, MUH TRADITION!!!" Most militaries wear this type of attire nowadays, its simply practical though I can understand a longing for traditional Prussian attire, but about the music, be grateful koniggratzer March and Prussian glory can even be played at all instead of whining.
I am a patriotic British man, i wished the german army still goose stepped, instead of abandoning their Prussian heritage because it looks to 'national socialist'...
There are many Prussian traditions in the Bundeswehr. The problem with the goosestep is that the Bundeswehr considers itself as „Light Infantry“. According to the March Protocol of 1906 (which the Bundeswehr uses) only „Line Infantry“ soldiers were allowed to Goosestep and only on two occasions. Here are all the traditions that the Bundeswehr has today: - Wachbattalion (“guard battalion”/“1. Preußisches Garderegiment zu Fuß) - Drill - Light Infantry - Großer Zapfenstreich - All marches are still played - Schellenbaum - Uniforms of the Bundesmarine, Luftwaffe and Gebirgsjäger are exactly the same as those from the Weimar Republic/Nazi Germany - The „Heer“ uniforms are also designed in the Prussian „Feldgrau“ and are based of off many militias who fought in the Napoleonic wars (which is even more fitting in this video) - Rifle Karabiner K98 (first used in 1935) - they still use (a little altered and polished) the Stahlhelm for ceremonial purposes - Barrets (first used in the Weimar Republic and the Napoleonic wars) Here are some good performances: ruclips.net/video/QGfgsHS-_LU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/iIMDXkzXKjQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/kEK4nyLp24o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Gf7aO7-u3oY/видео.html P.S.: Germany isn‘t just Prussia. We Bavarians exist too you know ;)
@@Ellis-zr1qd Don‘t know but I don‘t assume they would since the Goosestep was Prussian and the Bavarians despised everything Prussian (to this day!). They literally have an insult specifically against Prussians: „Saupreiß!“
The music is quite nice, yes. But the outer appearance of the soldiers is totally cut off all traditions... In this clip one will find the old Royal Prussian Army in all it's splendour back in 1913. This is, how German Soldiers should look again. ruclips.net/video/X5Ez4W6UvH0/видео.html Maybe, one day in the future - after the restauration of all German Monarchies - King William V. of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Emperor George William of Germany will be able to attend such a parade in front of the rebuilt Berlin City Palace... (Today this is only wishfull thinking, but who knows what the future will bring us....)
Germany is not and was never Prussia. Jesus xD We have just some parts of Prussia but the most parts of Germany were NEVER Prussia so: NO! We dont take the prussian traditions
Ehhh no they didn't? They did it till 1945 for obvious reasons. The NVA continued goose stepping until 1990. Sadly the Bundeswehr never adopted this style of marching, choosing to go with the western style instead. It's still not as bad as the Americans though
...the NVA had a certain ideal when it came to musicians. With unification came an inferior approach, I feel, as to what the German state should present as the best look in a martial band. Musicianship is not the issue here. Any viewing of footage of the NVA on parade will bear this out. Just the way the East Germans hoisted their schellenbaum high, and took pride in their German martial heritage while on parade, is evidence enough. Come back Chile. All is forgiven.
@@juliusschwencke142 It has nothing to do with how much you weight. The NVA is more russian influenced and they only wanted to have "tin-soldiers". Nowadays a lot of countries only concentrate about how a soldier looks like; For example: Egypt und Saudi Arabia military band; They are playing horrible because they only care about the look like.
Gute musikalische Qualität mit sehr ausgewogenem Klang, aber ein gelangweiltes Rumgelatsche, anstelle eines ordentlichen stolzen Marschschrittes. Außerdem völlig verfehlte und undeutsche Musikauswahl. Ist das ein Musikkorps der Bundeswehr in der Tradition deutscher Streitmächte, oder ein Filmorchester?
Was heißt hier "undeutsche Musikauswahl"? 1. Preußens Gloria, 2. Hohenfriedberger, 3. Zarathustra, 4. Ode an die Freude und dann kommt an 5. Stelle "Rule, Britannia!" als einziges nicht-deutsches Lied und dass das gespielt wird, liegt wohl unbestreitbar am Gastgeberland und ist damit wohl auch nicht im Standartrepertoire! Beim "stolzen Marschschritt" nimmst du wohl Bezug auf den Stechschritt? - Dieser wurde zum einen in Deutschland NIE von Musikern praktiziert, zum anderen NIE von den Jägereinheiten ("Tradition deiner Streitmächte ist damit wohl auch erklärt), auf deren Traditionen die Bundeswehr aufbaut und drittens und letztens NIE außerhalb von Paraden und Ehrenwachen genutzt, mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass ein dauerhaftes Marschieren im Stechschritt weder möglich ist, noch sonderlich repräsentativ ist.
Beggi01 das ist falsch. Bei einer Militärparade (Vorbeimarsch an einer Ehrentribüne) sind selbstverständlich ALLE deutschen Streitkräfte bis 1945 (und die NVA bis 1989) im Stechschritt marschiert, auch die Musiker und auch die Jägereinheiten! Allerdings war der Stechschritt immer der Parade vorbehalten. Zu einem Anlass wie dem obigen wäre er auch früher nicht infrage gekommen.
@@Beggi01 Die Wehrmacht zwischen 1933 und 1945 und später die NVA haben die Tradition des preussischen Stechschritts (Paradeschritts) sowieso sträflich missbraucht, indem sie viele Waffengattungen so herum latschen ließen, die es traditionell in der Preussischen Armee niemals getan haben. Außerdem handelt es sich hier im obigen Video um keine Parade oder einem Vorbeimarsch, sondern um ein Militärkonzert (engl. Tatoo). Bei den Preussen sind Marschkapellen niemals im Stechschritt herumgelatscht. Die Marschkapellen des Wachbattallions der Bundeswehr stehen zudem in der Tradition eines Jägerbattallions und Jäger haben ebenfalls noch nie den preußische Paradeschritt benutzt (selbst in der Wehrmacht nicht und das will schon etwas heißen). Achte mal im verlinkten Video aus der Kaiserzeit auf die Marschkapelle ab Minute 0.17, die als einzige nicht im Paradeschritt marschiert. Warum wohl? Natürlich um brauchbare Töne zu erzeugen, die wie Musik klingen. ruclips.net/video/tAhQGe5m8gw/видео.html
1) Müssen die Musikanten der Bundeswehr eigentlich keinen Gesundheitstest ablegen, beziehungsweise auf ihre Figur nachhaltig achten? 2) Empfinde den ersten Schritt als verweichlichte Version des eigentlichen Stechschrittes doch sehr kindlich und zögerlich. Die originale Version des Stechschritt Marschierens würde mir da deutlich besser gefallen. Außerdem wäre dieses eher im Sinne unserer Preußischen Vorfahren.
Luey Wie stellst du dir das vor? Stechschritt und Instrument spielen. Das ist kaum bis garnicht möglich ohne bleibende Schäden an den Zähnen und unschönem Klang
Stechschritt wird nur beim Vorbeimarsch durchgeführt und auch nur vom Spielmannszug und nicht vom Musikkorps. Hier findet aber kein Vorbeimarsch an einem Offizier oder einer Fahne statt also hätte es niemals Stechschritt gegeben. Zusätzlich besteht die gesamte Bundeswehr aus leichter Infanterie, der Stechschritt war aber der Linieninfanterie vorbehalten. Also selbst wenn es hier einen Vorbeimarsch gegeben hätte, würden die nicht im Stechschritt marschieren.
Man, das ist Marschmusik und keine Formationstanzmusik! Wann besinnt sich die BW wieder einmal auf die alten Traditionen? Nun ja, besser nicht. Dann die BW doch lieber tanzen lassen. ;)
Kollege, die Bundeswehr bezieht sich nur auf Tradition alter Tage. Eine deutsche Armee gab es nicht nur 1933-45. Vor allem Preußische Traditionen sieht man überall in der Bundeswehr. Von marschieren, bis hin zur Uniform.
Die Bundeswehr hat das preußische Exerzierreglement übernommen, aber nur das der Jägereinheiten - deshalb übrigens auch die grünen Baretts, die daran erinnern sollen. Auch ist die BW eine moderne Armee und kein Kostümhaufen, dass die Preußen aus Zeiten vom Alten Fritz nachahmt. Was den Preußen bei Jena und Auerstedt ja auch nicht bekommen ist. Ach und es werden aus gutem Grund keine "Traditionen" der Wehrmacht übernommen. Wer Pickelhauben sehen will, kann sich ja in Portugal oder Schweden die Wachablösung angucken. Und wer zusätzlich noch den Stechschritt für seine sexuellen Bedürfnisse benötigt, kann sich eine Militärparade in Chile angucken. Im Video sieht man eine Showveranstaltung zu 200 Jahre Waterloo und da muss man dem Publikum schon etwas bieten, das ist kein Staatsbesuch. Und wenn man sich so die nichtdeutschen Kommentare hier so durchliest, dann hat die BW eine gute Figur gemacht. Eigentlich sind nur viele deutschsprachige Kommentare bescheuert, der Rest der Welt hat wohl kapiert, warum die Bundeswehr nicht die kaiserliche Armee ist.
Ich hatte ein grünes Baret mit goldenem Abzeichen! Also Jäger! Von den Musikern hier ist jeder besserer Kämpfer wie die brits! Eure Kapellen kommen doch aus Schottland! Long live William Wallace! :D
those aren't NATO-style uiform, but rather a variation of the traditional Feldgrau (Field Grey) called ''Hellgrau'' (Light Grey), and they already replaced their Stahlhelm with Gefechtshelm M92
Only the Army‘s unifrom got changed drastically. Check our the Luftwaffe‘s and Navy‘s uniforms. They essentially stayed the same through out time, just with more modern cut. The army‘s uniform was too infamous to keep so we rightfully changed it
They just don't march or look like Germans anymore... Also it's totally stupid to play a classical song(Rise of Valkyres by Richard Wagner), which most only know through movies... You're a military. This should be have been a proud parade/march in the sense of prussia and to showcase the Prussian/unified armed forces of back then. And they play songs that didn't even exist back then and don't March proudly, fast and with self-esteem... They could have played Regimentsgruß - Hohenfriedberger - Fredericus Rex - Amsbacher-Bayreuth. Not these songs that have no historical context and which aren't even marches. It just makes the federal armed forces of Germany look awkward... Also women shouldn't have been in there, at least they shouldn't have their hair like that and shouldn't have blood-red hair that catches all your attentions and which just dosent fit into there. It looks like the bundeswehr always wants to be at least German as possible and tries to embarrass itself and Germany. Germany has such a great, rich and old military culture, tradition and marches, why not using it?? And why not wearing some real German uniforms? Or at least more German/Prussian and historical uniforms for this historical festival.... This is a festival that will that is going to be written down in future history books and then it's going to be written about this silly and non-German march of the Bundeswehr... Stop trying to be cool and different with playing classical pieces instead of military marches...
+David hEIDSEMAN I was a bit sad when they didn't start up with the Stechschritt. Looked like they would at some points when they began to march.. oh well. And not to diminish your point, but they did at least play Fredericus Rex and I think Regimentsgruß on the march up to the parade grounds.
at least they didn't play movie themes...which they do as well quite often, but i see what you mean. they do everything to seem as less german as possible and as most european and cosmopolitan as possible. and i say this as a german.
CrazyTraffic Bit saddening in my opinion. They look like Americans in their dress uniforms and i personally think the stechschritt was professional as fuck. They only even play Badenweiler in historical contexts if i remember correctly.. and it's a wonderful march. RIP Tradition.
About the Badenweiler or Badonviller you are right. They dont play it regularly because it was the favourite of Adolf Nazi. The uniforms are american ones.
The Stechschritt was _never_ performed by light infantry and also _never_ performed by musicians and outside of parades when marching past and officer or flag. It is tradition. The uniforms are of course german.
That‘s the so called “Gleichschritt” you idiot. The Bundeswehr uses the march handbooks of 1906 and 1910 for their marches and in them theirs a rule which says that only “Line Infantry” units are allowed to Goosestep. The Bundeswehr considers itself as “Light Infantry” and thus isn’t allowed to Goosestep but can only do the “Gleichschritt”. They are just staying to our traditions...
Then the British government shouldn't invite a German military band. If there are still reservations about this in the UK, then simply stop inviting people from Germany. The German military band can also play in Austria, it's not that far away.😉
@@TheEmperor2004 : Leichte Infanterie wären alle Einheiten, die mit -jäger enden, Grenadiere waren, nachdem im frühen 18.Jahrhundert das Werfen von Handgranaten aufgegeben wurde, ein Teil der in Formationen kämpfenden Linieninfanterie, also schwere Infanterie. Das bedeutet, daß die Panzergrenadiere eigentlich im Stechschritt marschieren dürften. Die ,Panzerfahrer' hingegen erfüllen die Aufgabe der früheren Kavallerie.
@@comsubpac Hier kann man jetzt sehr spitzfindig sein. Die preußische Armee hatte nur für ein oder zwei Jahre eine Panzertruppe. Während Selbstfahrlafetten der alten reitenden Artillerie entsprechend, muß man Spähpanzer als Nachfahren der leichten Kavallerie ansehen, Kampfpanzer als Nachfahren der schweren Kavallerie und Schützenpanzer mit aufgessenen Panzergrenadieren entsprechen den Dragonern in ihrer ursprünglichen Form, das heißt, sie waren ursprünglich Infanteristen die zum schnellen Ortswechsel Pferde erhielt, erst im Lauf der Zeit wurden sie schwere Reiter, die bei Bedarf auch als Infanterie eingesetzt werden konnte, was um 1800 aber kaum noch vorkam. Genau wie die Dragoner haben die Panzergrenadiere eine Doppelfunktion, so daß man sie in Bezug auf den Stechschritt als Infanterie oder als Kavallerie ( als Vorgänger der Panzertruppe) verschieden einordnen könnte.
Most of them are overweight, there are dwarf women, yet they still cannot be anything other then efficient ha ha ha. Come on. Try to cock up lads/lasses :))) Difficult I know with that music.

That said the Old Guard were broken and chased off by British Foot Guards regiments, The Coldstream Guards held Hougoumount throughout the battle and the Kings German Legion a British Corps) held onto la haye sainte until most of their garrison had been killed.
44plus thousand soldiers had been killed and many more wounded. Close Quater battle was far more lethal back then than it ever was since.
And the 'Ode to Joy' van Beethoven, to troll the Brits
Indeed
Fantastic performance. Prussian marches are so great. I love how the German army keeps the marches alive.
The german army is pretty much the only thing keeping anything german alive and not much of that
Only other piece of German culture left is Oktoberfest but the Germans consider it ok cuz it’s Bavarian not Prussian cuz somehow Prussian culture is at fault for what an Austrian living in Bavaria did
What a brilliant display by a Superb Band, they are a credit to Germany, only sorry I missed seeing them play live.
German Troops in London on Parade Place... Wonderful!

Stunning musical performance.
The Bundeswehr has prussian traditions:
- Drill
-Light Infantry(thats why they dont goose step)
-Barrets(1st used in the Napoleonic Wars)
-Uniforms(field-grey), (Marine and Air Force uniforms are basicly the same as the Wehrmacht/ Reichswehr ones)
-Rifle(Karrabiner K 98K)
-Marching Music
-Wachbattalion("guard batalion", prussian "1. Garderegiment zu Fuß" )
If you think that goose stepping or wearing a Pickelhaube/Stahlhelm are the only prussian traditions than you should probably shut your mouth because you dont have any idea.
The goose step was only used in two occasions:
1) Marching past
2) Guard changing
If there is no occassion like that, the goose step won't be used.
The Bundeswehr sees itself as prussian "Light Infantry" which never goose steped. Only the "Line Infantry" marched in goose step at one of these two ocassions. The rest marched in the prussian "Gleichschritt" which the Bundeswehr still does.
And parades where quite rare at the of the German Empire.
So just shut up and stop complaining about the Bundeswehr.
Everything they do is traditional according to the prussian drill rules.

Preussens Gloria played by a German army band on Horseguards Parade! I bet not many people had that on their radar as a likely possibility.
Why not-Preußen was an important part of the beating army in Waterloo
in fact prior to the desaster of WWI Germans and Britain have been traditional allies against a common enemy i.e. France
Another "why not?" A British band played it during Trooping the Colour and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee parade.
So ksnn es sich anhören, wenn man nicht nur Preußens Gloria anbieten kann. Sehr angenehm. Danke
Great programme of music
Excellent renditions of traditional German military marching tunes.
Great video! I will show it to everyone in Japan.We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much.God bless Germany and Germans.I am Japanese.Japan won the battle with Germany in the 1914 Battle of Qingdao, and many German prisoners of war were brought to Japan.It is a story in The Bando POW camp. The number of POWs who came to Japan was about 4,600. They were housed in eight barracks.Toyohisa Matsue was chosen as the chief of the Bando Camp.Matsue was a soldier of the Japanese Army. He ordered his men not to treat German POW absolutely like a criminal.He ordered his men to treat the German POWs with kindness.matsue told the Subordinate not to say anything that would give sense of guilt to POWs.Japan did not want a war with Germany. At that time, Britain and Japan were allies. There was a request from the United Kingdom, and it became a battle with Germany. Matsue began talking to the Germans.I will write his words briefly and briefly. "you guys was a patriot and a brave soldier. We Japanese promise to not treat you badly. We do not undermine your honor," the chief said to the Germans. Matsue and Japanese soldiers told the people of the town, "German is not a criminal. They are trustworthy people. Don't be afraid of anything. They are wonderful people. Let's be kind to Germans." At this time, the Japanese government decided to introduce German technology to Japan from Germans.
Japan ordered each camp to receive guidance from German soldiers in all areas.There were leaders in each of the German prisoners of war, such as politics, economics, teaching of musical instruments, bread making, sausages, whiskeys, beer brewing, etc.The Japanese received instruction from them. Germans taught Japanese people how to grow vegetables that were not grown before at the farm.
Germans taught Japanese people about German food and culture in various parts of Japan.The camp consisted of 26 Western-style buildings including a library, a printing shop, a bread factory and a confectionery factory.POWs were free to use those facilities. Beer, cheese, cigarettes and sausages were made in the camp and POWs were free to eat what they had made.It was permitted to smoke too. Also they were free to shop.There were many other sports facilities in the camp, such as tennis courts and soccer fields. POWs freely enjoyed the sport.Japan bought tools for sports.There were many young men going in and out of the camp.Germans taught them German culture and gymnastics.The Germans were paid a lot.There were farms, dairy farms and painting studios in the camp. There were various other facilities. There was almost no abuse of POWs in the camp.Discipline was least in all camps. In particular, the discipline at Bando Camp was the least. There was no violence or swearing against prisoners who did not keep discipline. If there was a Japanese who was violent to POW, the Japanese would soon become fired. It was also allowed to send money to families in Germany and other countries.
Germans also told Japan how to make soap and MAYONNAISE.In addition, the Japanese learned how to make them because there was a germans of sausage craftsman. germans also taught japan the secrets of sausages. A German memorial service is held every November by inviting Germans to Japan at the Narashino Army Base.Germany surrendered in 1918 and World War I ended. Germans were not prisoners of war on June 28, 1919. From that day Germans were completely free to go out.
There was a lot of interaction between the people of the city and the Germans. We offered tea and sweets to Germans who came to play, and taught Japanese culture.Some Germans were in love with Japanese women. The Germans gave a present to the Japanese a few days before they returned home. Thanks to that, the Japanese invited them to the town's house and let them eat a lot of food.And we had a farewell party at each house. At the last farewell, the townspeople saw off the marching Germans.Many Germans remained in Japan.They set up a company in Japan and married a Japanese. The company founded by Germans is now a big company. Japanese people continue to support by buying many at German made shops.After the war, Germans who spent time in the camp sent Japan many letters of thanks to Japan.The place where the Bando camp was located is now the German Village Park.Cenotaph was made in 1976.German culture and food have spread to Japan thanks to the Germans.Thank you very much to everyone in Germany. May God bless the German people!We Japanese love Germany and Germans.Before returning home, Germans decided to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony because they wanted to thank Japanese people.The performance was performed by 45 people.Before the performance, Maj. Gen. Heinrich, the governor of Qingdao, thanked the Japanese.
Gen. Heinrich said:
We lost the battle in Qingdao, we became POWs and came to this land. I can now leave this land with pride. That's thanks to Mr. Matsue. Mr. Matsue gave courage and strength at the hardest time of my life. Courage and power-. We want to present Beethoven's delight to everyone as a token of appreciation. Where in the world were there camps like Bando! There is no such wonderful person like Matsue anywhere in the world.Heinrich presented Mr. Matsue with his favorite Cane. He Say that "To my beloved friend".
We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much.Germany and Germans are the best in the world. God bless Germany and Germans.Japan's national anthem Kimigayo was made by Hayashi Hiromori and German Franz Eckert.Japan made the constitution, medicine, the army in by reference to Germany during the Meiji era. Japan succeeded in modernizing thanks to Germany. Japan learned a lot from Germany.There are two Germans statues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. There are many other German statues in Japan. Germany is a Japanese teacher.I always pray to God for the eternal happiness and peace of Germany.We Japanese sent 9,000 cherry blossom trees to Germany in 1990. It is said that the money of this cherry blossom trees is gathered by the donation of the Japanese and bought a cherry blossom trees . Almost all Japanese people participated in donations. The Japanese always cooperate with Germany.This cherry blossom tree is still in Berlin.We Japanese love Germany and Germans very much. Japan imports many German products to support Germany. The most imported cars in Japan are German cars.Most of the cars that run in my town are German cars.This is a story that Japanese people helped Germans in japanese Okinawa Miyakojima, Japan. In 1873, the German Merchant shipRobertoson was hit by a typhoon.The ship was aground off Miyakojima Miyakokuni. At that time, the islander rescues the crew.They gave some food to the Germans.They gave Germans a place to sleep. The islanders repaired the German ship.The days were 34 days.And the islanders put a lot of food and water on the ship and sent the Germans to Germany safely.There are still monuments sent from Germany in Okinawa.Japan will always help Germans from now on.
After the war, the German city was destroyed and many Germans were killed. We Japanese are very sad about that. I pray to God that Germany will never be unhappy again. There is a tower in my town praying for the Germans soul to be saved.

+Kim Thomas actually they play it all the time
+Kim Thomas No, its not. Entry Preussens Gloria. Then Königgrätzer (Hohenfriedberger is part of Königgrätzer). Meaning the Königgrätzer includes the Hohenfriedberger.
+comsubpac No. Not at all. They rarely play it. Almost never. They mostly play Prussian Glory, Regimentsgruß or Yorkscher March... They play "Rise of Valkyres", a classical piece from the 19th century, more often than the Hohenfriedberger...
+Leutnant82 Very stupid to play it, considering the march didn't exist firing the time of the event this parade is dedicated to... They should have played Regimentsgruß - Hohenfriedberger - Fredericus Rex - Amsbacher-Bayreuth...
Ansbach-bayereuth is the Dragoon Regiment to which the Hohenfriedberger is dedicated. The text of the Hohenfriedberger is in the refrain: Auf Ansbach Dragoner auf Ansbach-Bayreuth

There are many Prussian traditions in the Bundeswehr. The problem with the goosestep is that the Bundeswehr considers itself as „Light Infantry“. According to the March Protocol of 1906 (which the Bundeswehr uses) only „Line Infantry“ soldiers were allowed to Goosestep and only on two occasions.
Here are all the traditions that the Bundeswehr has today:
- Wachbattalion (“guard battalion”/“1. Preußisches Garderegiment zu Fuß)
- Drill
- Light Infantry
- Großer Zapfenstreich
- All marches are still played
- Schellenbaum
- Uniforms of the Bundesmarine, Luftwaffe and Gebirgsjäger are exactly the same as those from the Weimar Republic/Nazi Germany
- The „Heer“ uniforms are also designed in the Prussian „Feldgrau“ and are based of off many militias who fought in the Napoleonic wars (which is even more fitting in this video)
- Rifle Karabiner K98 (first used in 1935)
- they still use (a little altered and polished) the Stahlhelm for ceremonial purposes
- Barrets (first used in the Weimar Republic and the Napoleonic wars)
Here are some good performances:

(Today this is only wishfull thinking, but who knows what the future will bring us....)
Germany is not and was never Prussia. Jesus xD We have just some parts of Prussia but the most parts of Germany were NEVER Prussia so: NO! We dont take the prussian traditions
Well, the prussian Heer was wearing grey uniforms since 1914 and that the uniforms are in two colours is also traditional.
It should be illegal to play Prussian marches without goose stepping tho.
They are MUSICIANS not infantry. You cannot goose step with a large horn, it doesn't make sense.
Technically they're normal soldiers and besides it was a fucking joke duh.
If normal infantry are with them they usually do goose step
The Germans stopped goose-stepping after 1941.
Ehhh no they didn't? They did it till 1945 for obvious reasons. The NVA continued goose stepping until 1990. Sadly the Bundeswehr never adopted this style of marching, choosing to go with the western style instead. It's still not as bad as the Americans though
Gefällt Mir = D I Like That . Die Japaner Können , Das Mega Schön ;
I wonder if veterans joined the band on this trip. I see a few rather chubby and a few silver hair people in the German band.
its a band...
...the NVA had a certain ideal when it came to musicians. With unification came an inferior approach, I feel, as to what the German state should present as the best look in a martial band. Musicianship is not the issue here. Any viewing of footage of the NVA on parade will bear this out. Just the way the East Germans hoisted their schellenbaum high, and took pride in their German martial heritage while on parade, is evidence enough. Come back Chile. All is forgiven.
@@juliusschwencke142 What are you talking about? Even the Wehrmacht had chubby musicans. There only musicans and no special guards.
@@TheEmperor2004 ...really? Check out the footage. The East German musicians looked as if they were serious about their state and what it represented.
@@juliusschwencke142 It has nothing to do with how much you weight. The NVA is more russian influenced and they only wanted to have "tin-soldiers".

Hmmm
Gute musikalische Qualität mit sehr ausgewogenem Klang, aber ein gelangweiltes Rumgelatsche, anstelle eines ordentlichen stolzen Marschschrittes. Außerdem völlig verfehlte und undeutsche Musikauswahl. Ist das ein Musikkorps der Bundeswehr in der Tradition deutscher Streitmächte, oder ein Filmorchester?
In diesen Uniformen ist es aber auch schwer "steil" auzusehen.
Was heißt hier "undeutsche Musikauswahl"? 1. Preußens Gloria, 2. Hohenfriedberger, 3. Zarathustra, 4. Ode an die Freude und dann kommt an 5. Stelle "Rule, Britannia!" als einziges nicht-deutsches Lied und dass das gespielt wird, liegt wohl unbestreitbar am Gastgeberland und ist damit wohl auch nicht im Standartrepertoire!
Beim "stolzen Marschschritt" nimmst du wohl Bezug auf den Stechschritt? - Dieser wurde zum einen in Deutschland NIE von Musikern praktiziert, zum anderen NIE von den Jägereinheiten ("Tradition deiner Streitmächte ist damit wohl auch erklärt), auf deren Traditionen die Bundeswehr aufbaut und drittens und letztens NIE außerhalb von Paraden und Ehrenwachen genutzt, mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass ein dauerhaftes Marschieren im Stechschritt weder möglich ist, noch sonderlich repräsentativ ist.
Beggi01 das ist falsch. Bei einer Militärparade (Vorbeimarsch an einer Ehrentribüne) sind selbstverständlich ALLE deutschen Streitkräfte bis 1945 (und die NVA bis 1989) im Stechschritt marschiert, auch die Musiker und auch die Jägereinheiten! Allerdings war der Stechschritt immer der Parade vorbehalten. Zu einem Anlass wie dem obigen wäre er auch früher nicht infrage gekommen.
@@Beggi01 Die Wehrmacht zwischen 1933 und 1945 und später die NVA haben die Tradition des preussischen Stechschritts (Paradeschritts) sowieso sträflich missbraucht, indem sie viele Waffengattungen so herum latschen ließen, die es traditionell in der Preussischen Armee niemals getan haben. Außerdem handelt es sich hier im obigen Video um keine Parade oder einem Vorbeimarsch, sondern um ein Militärkonzert (engl. Tatoo). Bei den Preussen sind Marschkapellen niemals im Stechschritt herumgelatscht. Die Marschkapellen des Wachbattallions der Bundeswehr stehen zudem in der Tradition eines Jägerbattallions und Jäger haben ebenfalls noch nie den preußische Paradeschritt benutzt (selbst in der Wehrmacht nicht und das will schon etwas heißen). Achte mal im verlinkten Video aus der Kaiserzeit auf die Marschkapelle ab Minute 0.17, die als einzige nicht im Paradeschritt marschiert. Warum wohl? Natürlich um brauchbare Töne zu erzeugen, die wie Musik klingen.

@@folkestender2025 Du hast mich sicherlich fälschlich verlinkt und meintest eigentlich Ruediger Lessel?!
1) Müssen die Musikanten der Bundeswehr eigentlich keinen Gesundheitstest ablegen, beziehungsweise auf ihre Figur nachhaltig achten? 2) Empfinde den ersten Schritt als verweichlichte Version des eigentlichen Stechschrittes doch sehr kindlich und zögerlich. Die originale Version des Stechschritt Marschierens würde mir da deutlich besser gefallen. Außerdem wäre dieses eher im Sinne unserer Preußischen Vorfahren.
Luey Wie stellst du dir das vor? Stechschritt und Instrument spielen. Das ist kaum bis garnicht möglich ohne bleibende Schäden an den Zähnen und unschönem Klang
Stechschritt wird nur beim Vorbeimarsch durchgeführt und auch nur vom Spielmannszug und nicht vom Musikkorps. Hier findet aber kein Vorbeimarsch an einem Offizier oder einer Fahne statt also hätte es niemals Stechschritt gegeben.
Zusätzlich besteht die gesamte Bundeswehr aus leichter Infanterie, der Stechschritt war aber der Linieninfanterie vorbehalten. Also selbst wenn es hier einen Vorbeimarsch gegeben hätte, würden die nicht im Stechschritt marschieren.
they look stupid, they march stupid - but still the quality of the band is out of this world.
Man, das ist Marschmusik und keine Formationstanzmusik!
Wann besinnt sich die BW wieder einmal auf die alten Traditionen?
Nun ja, besser nicht. Dann die BW doch lieber tanzen lassen. ;)
Kollege, die Bundeswehr bezieht sich nur auf Tradition alter Tage. Eine deutsche Armee gab es nicht nur 1933-45. Vor allem Preußische Traditionen sieht man überall in der Bundeswehr. Von marschieren, bis hin zur Uniform.
Das Ganze ist eine Show vor Publikum, da marschiert man halt nicht sinnlos im Kreis.
Die Bundeswehr hat das preußische Exerzierreglement übernommen, aber nur das der Jägereinheiten - deshalb übrigens auch die grünen Baretts, die daran erinnern sollen. Auch ist die BW eine moderne Armee und kein Kostümhaufen, dass die Preußen aus Zeiten vom Alten Fritz nachahmt. Was den Preußen bei Jena und Auerstedt ja auch nicht bekommen ist.
Ach und es werden aus gutem Grund keine "Traditionen" der Wehrmacht übernommen.
Wer Pickelhauben sehen will, kann sich ja in Portugal oder Schweden die Wachablösung angucken. Und wer zusätzlich noch den Stechschritt für seine sexuellen Bedürfnisse benötigt, kann sich eine Militärparade in Chile angucken.
Im Video sieht man eine Showveranstaltung zu 200 Jahre Waterloo und da muss man dem Publikum schon etwas bieten, das ist kein Staatsbesuch. Und wenn man sich so die nichtdeutschen Kommentare hier so durchliest, dann hat die BW eine gute Figur gemacht. Eigentlich sind nur viele deutschsprachige Kommentare bescheuert, der Rest der Welt hat wohl kapiert, warum die Bundeswehr nicht die kaiserliche Armee ist.

You know everyone wants them to have their beautiful WWII era uniforms and Stahlhelms back. These NATO-style uniforms are so bland.
those aren't NATO-style uiform, but rather a variation of the traditional Feldgrau (Field Grey) called ''Hellgrau'' (Light Grey), and they already replaced their Stahlhelm with Gefechtshelm M92
Only the Army‘s unifrom got changed drastically. Check our the Luftwaffe‘s and Navy‘s uniforms. They essentially stayed the same through out time, just with more modern cut.
The army‘s uniform was too infamous to keep so we rightfully changed it
They just don't march or look like Germans anymore... Also it's totally stupid to play a classical song(Rise of Valkyres by Richard Wagner), which most only know through movies... You're a military. This should be have been a proud parade/march in the sense of prussia and to showcase the Prussian/unified armed forces of back then. And they play songs that didn't even exist back then and don't March proudly, fast and with self-esteem... They could have played Regimentsgruß - Hohenfriedberger - Fredericus Rex - Amsbacher-Bayreuth. Not these songs that have no historical context and which aren't even marches. It just makes the federal armed forces of Germany look awkward... Also women shouldn't have been in there, at least they shouldn't have their hair like that and shouldn't have blood-red hair that catches all your attentions and which just dosent fit into there. It looks like the bundeswehr always wants to be at least German as possible and tries to embarrass itself and Germany. Germany has such a great, rich and old military culture, tradition and marches, why not using it?? And why not wearing some real German uniforms? Or at least more German/Prussian and historical uniforms for this historical festival.... This is a festival that will that is going to be written down in future history books and then it's going to be written about this silly and non-German march of the Bundeswehr... Stop trying to be cool and different with playing classical pieces instead of military marches...
+David hEIDSEMAN I was a bit sad when they didn't start up with the Stechschritt. Looked like they would at some points when they began to march.. oh well.
And not to diminish your point, but they did at least play Fredericus Rex and I think Regimentsgruß on the march up to the parade grounds.
at least they didn't play movie themes...which they do as well quite often, but i see what you mean. they do everything to seem as less german as possible and as most european and cosmopolitan as possible. and i say this as a german.
CrazyTraffic Bit saddening in my opinion. They look like Americans in their dress uniforms and i personally think the stechschritt was professional as fuck. They only even play Badenweiler in historical contexts if i remember correctly.. and it's a wonderful march. RIP Tradition.
About the Badenweiler or Badonviller you are right. They dont play it regularly because it was the favourite of Adolf Nazi. The uniforms are american ones.
The Stechschritt was _never_ performed by light infantry and also _never_ performed by musicians and outside of parades when marching past and officer or flag. It is tradition.
The uniforms are of course german.
They want to goose step so very bad.
No they don't.
@@comsubpac yes they do.
@@michaelthomas7178 No, they don't.
@@comsubpac they will be be high stepping soon.
@@michaelthomas7178 no, light infantry never does.
The Uniforms naja
German Army in London...75 years too late.
Nur 4 Posaunen in der esten Reihe, peinlich. Das ist ja nur noch eine Musikvereinsbesetzung!
nix geht über Cajus Reinitschke kennt Ihr nicht ? Google ansonsten alles gut. Die Traditionalisten hier,also die gestrigen , seid doch einfach ruhig .
Du meinst Cajus Weinitschke. Wo hast du ihn gesehen?
They should have learn from The nationale volksarme in DDR , Who held The old German military traditions high.
When you lost the war so badly you aren’t allowed to March but have to sadly walk.
they always marched that way...
Get a life.
That‘s the so called “Gleichschritt” you idiot. The Bundeswehr uses the march handbooks of 1906 and 1910 for their marches and in them theirs a rule which says that only “Line Infantry” units are allowed to Goosestep. The Bundeswehr considers itself as “Light Infantry” and thus isn’t allowed to Goosestep but can only do the “Gleichschritt”. They are just staying to our traditions...
Then the British government shouldn't invite a German military band. If there are still reservations about this in the UK, then simply stop inviting people from Germany. The German military band can also play in Austria, it's not that far away.😉

woman spotted 10 o'clock, not traditional enough.

Napoleon I Bonaparte fuck off xD
Der Stechschritt sieht aus wie der Versuch eines Froschs, aufrecht zu gehen...
Welcher Stechschritt? Die Bundeswehr ist Leichte Infanterie, welche nach preußischen Traditionen nie im "Stechschritt" marschiert ist.
@@TheEmperor2004 Es ging mir nur um das ewige Geschrei nach dem lächerlichen Stechschritt....
@@TheEmperor2004 : Leichte Infanterie wären alle Einheiten, die mit -jäger enden, Grenadiere waren, nachdem im frühen 18.Jahrhundert das Werfen von Handgranaten aufgegeben wurde, ein Teil der in Formationen kämpfenden Linieninfanterie, also schwere Infanterie. Das bedeutet, daß die Panzergrenadiere eigentlich im Stechschritt marschieren dürften. Die ,Panzerfahrer' hingegen erfüllen die Aufgabe der früheren Kavallerie.
@@brittakriep2938 Panzergrenadiere sind aber keine Infanterie sondern Teil der Panzertruppe.
@@comsubpac Hier kann man jetzt sehr spitzfindig sein. Die preußische Armee hatte nur für ein oder zwei Jahre eine Panzertruppe. Während Selbstfahrlafetten der alten reitenden Artillerie entsprechend, muß man Spähpanzer als Nachfahren der leichten Kavallerie ansehen, Kampfpanzer als Nachfahren der schweren Kavallerie und Schützenpanzer mit aufgessenen Panzergrenadieren entsprechen den Dragonern in ihrer ursprünglichen Form, das heißt, sie waren ursprünglich Infanteristen die zum schnellen Ortswechsel Pferde erhielt, erst im Lauf der Zeit wurden sie schwere Reiter, die bei Bedarf auch als Infanterie eingesetzt werden konnte, was um 1800 aber kaum noch vorkam. Genau wie die Dragoner haben die Panzergrenadiere eine Doppelfunktion, so daß man sie in Bezug auf den Stechschritt als Infanterie oder als Kavallerie ( als Vorgänger der Panzertruppe) verschieden einordnen könnte.
Schwach , da fehlt ja die Pauke
Most of them are overweight, there are dwarf women, yet they still cannot be anything other then efficient ha ha ha. Come on. Try to cock up lads/lasses :))) Difficult I know with that music.
