As an American, I desperately want a playlist of West German music. I love seeing NATOwave vids or listening to music where the free nations of Europe took pride in themselves, especially in contrast to the heavily propagandized Communist East. From the other side of the Atlantic, God bless! 🇺🇸🤝🏻🇩🇪
Thanks for your heartwarming comment my friend! If you're interested, there are two 1 hour long compilations of West German military marches on my channel. It's not songs with lyrics, but still could be pleasant to give them a listen. Also, if you want to support me and help our communuty grow, consider subscribing to the channel and sharing the vids you like. Have a beautiful day!
As a Pole, I feel you haha. But honestly, it is amazing to see people having their national pride It is problematic and I think that the Western culture didn't focus as much on the Cold War as the Eastern propaganda. But things surely can be found... you can also always look for these waves of particular countries
I really enjoy this song, sadly my family happend to live behind the iron courtain so we couldnt experience the good the West did but atleast I can enjoy the music
Glad to see some West German music finally. I was curious if you intended to go and do some more of these videos. I have seen your airforce and navy song sets and quite liked them
Whenever I find music I see fitting, I upload it. There will be more historical music (West German + other nations) uploaded in the future for sure! Thank you for taking your time and listening to both my naval and airforce music compilations :)
@@joaogabrielimperial7777 I would say Russian and German songs in general tend to be more catchy than not imo, whether they be ML, NS, liberal democratic, or any other ideology. But I will agree with you their monarchist periods probably have the best songs, and I really like Kaiserredux (a reworked version of Kaiserreich).
absolutely based take, so sick of the GDR songs im happy i came across this west germany never gets the credit it deserves being the nato frontline for so many decades. fathers and sons in the same job protecting the same world where each person is free.
This is a song against the forceful conscription of men in Germany from 1955 to 2011. We sang it in our barracks as a protest. The civil service alternative meant discrimination and social stigma. The themes are pretty on point: Being far away from home, cheating girl, professional soldiers, especially NCOs being losers in civilian life, the intimidation and later on dissolution with the system you feel, being unable to act and only being acted upon. And then the fear of the war going hot. I was stationed in Hessen at the German-German border. Our mission was clear: Fight to the last shell to buy time for a defense to be organized at the Rhine and getting NATO forces across the pond and to the front.
Finally something West German And a West German flag-map.... Sadly my country was a Soviet puppet, at least most of Germany could have enjoyed a happy life after 1945
@@agentusm7871 my friend, I'm from Poland. And not even from these lands unlawfully stolen from Germany in 1945, but those which always were Polish (Masovia). Polish People's Republic was to some extent independent, but we had to follow orders from Moscow. And not only us - Hungary and Czechoslovakia felt it brutally. In both 1956 and 1968 these states were still run by communists, but not pro-Soviet ones. Not sure about East Germany, but why shouldn't I think they followed the same pattern?
@@BartlomiejDmowski You are absolutly right. east germany was also a total puppet. they coul almost do nothing in terms of foreign policy without asking for consent and help in moscow
@@Spider_aaaahhh Look at the date when Germany reunited. That's right, they did it after 3 years after ussr fell. You do realize also that out of all warsaw pact countries, GDR left socialism later than others? Also btw FRG was puppet state in hands of NATO, especially how US forces could freely operate anywhere in it
I also think they sound better. They are more complex and give you a sense of power with the high tempo end energetic instruments. This is a remake of a rock song.
Another element of East German propaganda is that the imagery (particularly the uniforms, later down the line) dipped heavily into a Prussian aesthetic. But that seems to be a recurring element in communist propaganda and music - there's always an underlying element of patriotism or even nationalism, despite the ostensible "international" message. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with the paranoid, "besieged" mentality of their governments.
This song was released in 1987, which is 4 years BEFORE the official end of the cold war (26th of December 1991). At least make some effort in your research before commenting
By the way, the first video game was introduced in 1958 and in the 70s, videogames started rising into prominence. Again, you could at least do the basic effort in research before commenting stuff you have no clue about
@@vexilloman By "Computerspielen" I assumed they were referring to FPS games which blew up a decade later (despite the commodore 64 being released in 1982). a verse like that from 1987 felt eerily ahead of its time, hence my comment. Thanks for the brief gaming history checkup regardless.

Exactly
The entire western is a propaganda
Yeah, you dont need propaganda when you dont have to hide poverty and dictatorship
@@leopold_7 Good thing Germany isn't western. It is central European.
Propaganda isn't necessarily a distortion of reality, rather merely a way to influence people's minds towards a certain political objective/agenda

This is a cover of In The Army Now with changed lyrics
There was a band called Status Quo who had the same song out around November 1986.
BUNDESWEHR GERMAN LEOPARD 2A7
Wonderful tank, but I prefer the Leopard 1A1 just for its looks. That and she's an absolute speed demon of a tank
this sounds better than Monika if I’m honest ngl
I say, that is not difficult to achieve

Why? Can you provide more detail?

Good, but not as great as East German Unterwegs and other songs. I’m speaking completely from the musical perspective of course
