Funny thing is its actually a really good song, About a bountiful young lady named Erika the soldiers of war want to return to, All German soldiers weren't nazi's. Most were forced to fight or die
Many also just wanted to go on an adventure. Having absolutely no idea what they were going into. Back then most people went an entire lifetime without seeing more than their own local area. Commercial traveling was not a thing. Young guys talking with their friends about going and if they go then why shouldnt you? It was an entire different world back then. Seeing war movies from german pov starting to be produced is really great in my humble opinion :)
The Wehrmacht nonetheless committed many atrocities that are only recently being brought to light, so the whole notion that the common German soldier was separated from the atrocities of the SS is actually becoming less apparent. I still agree that many were drafted and forced to fight, but many of them nonetheless committed war crimes that in of itself are just as bad as the SS. I think this clearly showcases the obvious sympathy many Germans had at the time with the Nazi cause up until 1945.
@@leokneedus lol at some point like you’re at fault. I’d rather be killed by my commanding officer or fellow soldiers than do some of the shit that they did
@@leokneedus When you are saying "The regular german soldiers" you are talking about millions of different human beings. Not trained genocide robots. Many wrote home or wrote in their diaries how terrible some of the things they witnessed was. Many were deeply alcoholic because of their trauma. Many claim that they never saw or heard about such things. Obviously it happend. But not everywhere. And not everyone was involved. All can be and is possibly true, because we are talking about millions of individuals and a world war.
A little flower blooms on the heath Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika Hot from a hundred thousand little bees Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein Will be swarmed Wird umschwärmt Erika Erika Because her heart is full of sweetness Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit A delicate fragrance emanates from the blossoms Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid A little flower blooms on the heath Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika A blond little girl lives at home In der Heimat wohnt ein blondes Mägdelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika This girl is my faithful darling Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein And my luck Und mein Glück Erika Erika When the heather blooms red-purple Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht I sing this song to greet her Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied A little flower blooms on the heath Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika In my little room there is also a little flower In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika Already at dawn and at dusk Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein look at me Schaut's mich an Erika Erika And then it seems to me that it speaks loudly Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut "Are you also thinking of your little bride?" "Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?" At home a little girl is crying for you In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein And that means Und das heißt Erika Erika
I really appreciate that you translated this song so the others could see that it’s actually very beautiful and has nothing to do with nazism. Dankeschön!
What I find funny is that you want to take away the association of the song with the politics because you're a liberal. When the song was made by THE party.
Das Lied wurde von Herms Niel geschrieben, welcher 5 Jahre vorher der NSDAP beitritt. Es galt explizit der Propaganda und sollte auf schnulzig romantische Weise eine heile Welt vermitteln und lehnte in typischer Nazi Manier moderne Kunst, wie Jazz, ab und appellierte stattdessen an vage Nostalgie.
So, for those too lazy to google some history....or even the freaking lyrics, here they are in English: I On the heath there blooms a little flower and it's called Erika! Eagerly a hundred thousand little bees swarm around Erika! For her heart is full of sweetness, a tender scent escapes her blossom-gown. On the heath there blooms a little flower and it's called Erika. II Back at home there lives a little maiden and she's called Erika! That girl is my faithful little darling and my joy, Erika! When the heather blooms in a reddish purple, I sing her this song in greeting. On the heath there blooms a little flower and she's called Erika! III In my room there also blooms a little flower and she's called Erika! Already in the grey of dawn as it does at dusk it looks at me, Erika! And then it seems to me, as if it's saying aloud: "Are you thinking of your little bride?" Back at home a maiden weeps for you and she's called Erika! The song DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS glorified the Nazi party. HOWEVER, some history for context: In January 1933, Hitler was appointed German chancellor. After coming to power, the Nazis established the Dachau concentration camp to detain political prisoners. By late 1938, Jews were banned from most public places in Germany. This song was written in 1938. So while the song is not a song about nazi soldiers, it was written in a time where Nazi rule was the norm. Take from that what you will. Its still a banger....Doesnt mean it supports intolerance. We can be better than those who live in hate, if we choose to be.
Did people seriously forget the song “Erika” is talking about a lady named Erika and flowers, and that it was made way before Nazi Germany’s existence? Or are people just more dumb?
If you come close to Germany, it's best to come to Saarland. There you can travel to three different countries within half an hour: Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium. That's my tip for you.
The exact year of the song's origin is not known; often the date is given as "about 1930",[3] but this has never been substantiated. The song was originally published in 1938 by the publishing firm Carl Louis Oertel [de] in Großburgwedel, but it had been popular prior to the war.[4] the song is similar in terms of songs like blood on the risers and When Johnny Comes Marching Home soldiers songs as they are known as ISHOWSPEED heard German and saw a German flag and freaked because he taught it was racist but intern his ignorance and lack of understanding showed he was in fact the racist one the song isn't even about an Nazis its about soldiers wanting to return home to a beautiful woman and 2 the Erika in question can also be interpreted as a metaphor for Germany itself
The song itself and the lyrics are completely harmless. The salut is actually from Ancient Rome. It both comes down to whether the current situation you are in is appropriate and what your thoughts and intentions are. Keep in mind that many people associate the song and/or salut with a person that is responsible for the death of over 11.000.000 (11 million) innocent people.
When i saw the short video when he first listening to Erika for the first time and he said ''yo this beat is kinda fire'' , 💀💀 (but atleast i know that song is'nt offensive)
the reason why he reacted like that because it was a song that was sung during WW2 by the nazis. As a german though this song didnt offend me. Most of my fellow german classmates sing this song every day
Americans: *AHHHHHHHHGHGH OMFG HOW COULD YOU THATS SO WRONG AND OFFENDING* German teens: vallah digga sing mit mir Edit: The guy who posted it was probably german rofl'ing because of speeds reaction
As an American I’m not offended by Erika I’ve sung it, it’s just a German war song it’s not like specifically a nazi song we actually have an odd neo-nazi problem in schools so I don’t really care if people don’t want it played and ist their right to be offended by it or not 🤷♂️ just my opinion
@@TheRival-_- W. Just dont go singing it around like its nothing. Especially in public. I dont do that myself because there are plently of german veterans that might find the song triggering

A little flower blooms on the heath

Hot from a hundred thousand little bees
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Will be swarmed

Because her heart is full of sweetness

A delicate fragrance emanates from the blossoms
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
A little flower blooms on the heath

A blond little girl lives at home

This girl is my faithful darling
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
And my luck

When the heather blooms red-purple

And then it seems to me that it speaks loudly

It was at this moment that speed knew he fucked up 😂😂😂
He can’t escape it.

That's my national anthem
what i find funny is the song was written before ww2 and is literally about bees flowers and a girl named erika who wears a dress and smells nice

and it's called Erika.

Back at home there lives a little maiden
and she's called Erika!

and my joy, Erika!
When the heather blooms in a reddish purple,
I sing her this song in greeting.
On the heath there blooms a little flower
and she's called Erika!

and she's called Erika!
Already in the grey of dawn as it does at dusk
