I love the long build up, best part starts at 1:35. Gives me the chills every time. All the other factions have music designed to pump you up for battle. However, this song captures the dreadfulness of war. You can tell by the weariness and melancholy tone of this piece that the men of this faction are veterans. You can feel the "elite air" of this piece. Dear god, I love the Panzer Elite.
@Michael P. * By the nazis * The Wehrmacht was controlled by the Nazis and was indoctrinated into Nazism. It was meant to be an apolitic organization and integrated the values of military professionalism but the ideology ruined their reputation and the respect they deserve.
@Michael P. The Eastern Front was mainly an ideological war, one of Hitler's plans was to eradicate communism, he knew that it was a threat to his ideology and his expansionism. So he used the nazism on the Wehrmacht to perpetuate and extending the damage against the Soviet Union, mainly killing its people, destroying its lands (Scorched earth policy) and despising the Bolshevism. And the Wehrmacht didn't have any choice but to comply to Hitler orders and letting go of his indoctrination in the military organization. Adding to that they were complicit of the war crimes committed in the Eastern Front, they weren't completely saints nor they were completely evil, there's is a grey area in between.
@@Davelxyz their behaviour is not exempt for the war crimes emaned by Hitler lead decision to going for war, if ever it wasn't for his ideology to eradicate communism, i bet the Wehrmacht will be far less taint and more aligned with the values of his predecessor, the Prussian army, ever again they will be called the "nazis" like everyone think they do today.
Take out that target, schnell schnell! Squad, hot granaten! -Off we go, driver.- We've taken many casualties! Move, get the squad out of here! Chaotic, crazy, heroic, and epic. Just like a real war. Good job, Relic. I got this game like a month ago and I've already done over 200 matches; the Panzer elite are my favorite team. Mostly for the play style but the campaign for them was very tragic. I don't do online because like FPS's people play weird and the computer is good enough for this game.
That's one of the beauties of Company of Heroes, they don't depict the germans the narrow-minded way most WW2 games does, but in the way they actually were. Soldiers, humans, who served a cause they believed to be the right, though it was obvious for everyone else it wasn't. Anyways, if you're looking for something more evil and/or less sad you should hear the track "The Blitz". It can be extracted from the game if you have it.
Yeah, they're a representation of the Panzer-Lehr division, specifically those that fought in the Market Garden campaign (which is why they only have access to outdated tanks, with the exception of the Panther; they were outnumbered and outgunned, realistically). The Wehrmacht actually has two possible SS units, being the Stormtroopers and the Sniper (noted by their camo).
Just figured how many soundtracks he has composed! Even the Harry Potter theme and a lot other music! That man must be a master of composing orchestral music...
@knives569 I thought the ending was alright. It questioned the war, but also depicted how the average german soldiers (whom Wolfgang is one of) also lost a lot fighting the war.
Fits perfectly for the time when the germans began to realise they were losing the war... This is propably the most sad track when playing the germans, kind of a contrast for the british track that aren't uploaded here... And since they don't have names, i can't really describe it... But if anyone have heard it they'll know which one i'm talking about...
"Park it here and start stacking shells!" - The one line from the PE army I just can´t play a proper game without listenning to. *deploys a Marder and a Panzer IV; sites both at a choke point; mows down everything stupid enough to go against them head on XP*
Guys. They're all tanks. A tank is characterized as an armored vehicle on tracks. The Tank destroyer is just a specialized form of tank. Like a combat marksman or an AT specialist is a specialized form of a soldier.
This may be a little late, but they recently released the Company of Heroes soundtrack(s) for free to download off of Steam (on the company of heroes page). Not sure if this is permanent, but it's worth a look and it is legitimate. Apparently this is the in-combat version of the track "Shattered," off of the album "Company of Heroes: Songs From the Front."
@LORDeliphase (Continued) So overall, i mainly like it when games that contain killing also have alternates to it (Commandos, Deus Ex, Thief), or when the killing that the player causes is portraied as brutal and inglorious as it actually would be in real life (Metro 2033, Company of Heroes, The Godfather). In my oppinion, in wars like ww2 there's no bad guys, the soldiers who fight are only humans, and the only true heroes are the soldiers who would show mercy to an enemy rather than hatred.
But i personally think all of the tracks played in skirmish mode are really memorable, although i don't play as the germans much, and therefore do not remember their music that good... The track you decided to call "The Elite" is the one i'm most familiar with... Btw, the tracks i have are named (by whoever uploaded them), most of them are quite good, i could mail them to you if... No, wait, i can't describe which track is which if it's unnamed :P
idk why... this music keep starting when situation got very epic... especially when my my base is under attack and my men keep fighting to the allies with all his got..
The most hard company to play in the game. They are so methodic man... The Wehrmacht is all about agressiveness, they combine with me somehow... but the Panzer Elite are really "elite", you have to be good to play with them.
Well, they can call in some panthers, and they do have a Jagdpanther (Which, if you max out the armor veterency, becomes unstoppable) but Yeah I see where you're coming from. They do have a heavy focus on EXTREMELY lightly armored cars, which later game don't even seem worth the amount of fuel you wasted on em.
Hence the description of the video. I got these songs long before they were officially released. Besides, I find this song to sound a lot more Dusky, than Marchy
The name is well chosen. When USA landed in Europe and started land fighting Germans, the war was already lost for Germany, especially when they fought in France. All Germany could have hoped for at this point was a peace with acceptable terms.
@@noggy3133 they foresaw the cold war coming and somehow believed USA would deal with the devil and use Germany as a shield against the soviets. A bit foolish, though.
@SSdivisionen you talk about the Luftwaffe? I dont like much them. My favorite infantry are by far the Rangers =) The best quotes are from them.. And you get the Comandos as well. The infantry of the jerries are totally out outshadow by their panzers.
For everyone else? For everyone else most of Europe the cause was the same as Germans see the number of peoples that they had in their side it goes from Cossacks to Hungarians to Croats to Finns to Balts and list goes on in fact the only ones that didnt share their point of view were the tree largest factions of world backed up by great capital in UK and US and by fear and brutality in USSR.
if you think in another tank destroyer that have torret you can see the M10 or the Hellcat that re tank destroyers of the US army. in conclusion, the hetzer IS a tank
@Jakihro oil embargo from US, the thinking of their invincible and the idea that US don't want to go for a war made the Japan militarists attack Pearl habour .
@LORDeliphase Also, sorry if that wasn't excactly what you asked for when you wrote that, but once i get started on such subjects, i just have to write a shitload of comments :P
I see... Too bad you don't remember where you got them, i already have most of the british tracks (downloaded from who-knows-where), but i'd love to be in posession of the complete soundtrack... I don't get why THQ decided not to publish all the tracks, 'cause they've grown very popular, and personally i think it's one of the best soundtracks i've ever heard... Hell, i don't even know the name of the guy(s) who composed it, but it's propably in the credits of the game...
@damanwidaplans Good and Evil don't really exist so to speak, it's merely one's Moral perception. Order and Chaos on the other hand do exist outside of a subjective context, but most people aren't truly concerned about those two. The crimes of Nazi Germany didn't really become obvious to the western world until any hope of Axis victory went out the window (Russia on the other hand lost 27 million or so people to Germany so things were a bit more clear for them) Germany lost- to be continued
No kidding. I consider myself a mediocre CoH player at BEST, so needless to say I suck playing as these guys. They just don't mesh well with my play style. They're all about rapid attack, and I don't like going on the offense until I've sufficiently upgraded my base and units. Besides that, you really have to have a plan of attack in advance or you'll get wiped out, and I mostly just wing it as I go as regular Axis, heh.
Panzer elite is easy mode....only when playing against boneheads. I thought they were OP when I was noobing around as the Allies, but my first game as the Pz Elite proved to me that the grenadier spam is a very suicidal move.
greandier spam is poor if you rush early game, it gets better in late game because you can give them AT weapons and smgs, all you need is some support like halftracks, mortars, and maybe a tank, et voila, you've got an army
"Kampfgruppe Lehr has proven its superiority once again."
Wherever I go I see his face... *KAMPFGRUPPE LEHR*
They don't make the tracks like they used to, this is just pure gold. Takes me back to when I first discovered Company of Heroes.
I love the long build up, best part starts at 1:35. Gives me the chills every time.

ready for anything ready for victory !!!
The real name of this song is called "Shattered" and it was composed by inon zur. It has a real orchestra performance.
Hummel ready for orders !

You think I like sitting on all these shells
@@AxelGunnars Yaa thats what we here for....
Ya thats what we here for
I had been searching for this like century ago! Thx mate
"Dusk of the Fatherland" is a very evocative title for this theme. Well chosen, Anarkyfox7.
This track is the reason why I play Panzer Elite.
ACHTUNG ! PANZER HAS ARRIVED !
WE ARE DYING UNDER YOUR LEAD!
- Grenadiers under heavy fire and rapidly losing squad mates when you click them.
Take out that target, schnell schnell! Squad, hot granaten! -Off we go, driver.- We've taken many casualties! Move, get the squad out of here!

Love the beginning
...For the Fatherland...
My favourite track I must say.
playing this in last mission... truly epic

Since the Name is to Long at the Name its called Dusk of the Fat xD
" let's go seven seconds this time"
0:00 to 1:00 is my favorite, though 0:40 is the best.
Just figured how many soundtracks he has composed! Even the Harry Potter theme and a lot other music! That man must be a master of composing orchestral music...
were r crushing against our jack boots !
This music for germans panzer division in game I love this
Oh, i see... Thanks, mate! Gotta go see if he has composed more music like this...
And greetings from one of your neighboring countries, Denmark :)
@knives569 I thought the ending was alright. It questioned the war, but also depicted how the average german soldiers (whom Wolfgang is one of) also lost a lot fighting the war.
Kampfgruppe Lehr can now use Luftwaffe Ground Forces!
This game is still king "this is panther panzer"

*"This is Panther panzer."*
Can you feel it kampfkoppa, we have the ZEAL
" This will be too easy" hatred when they say that, as if they do it alone.
While listening to this song,I can see German Soldiers,fighting to defend their homes,families...fighting like a heroes.
It means not all German are damn nazi most fight for ideology like some wehr and ss but some soldier fight for thier country
Can you feel it, Kampfgruppe? We have the ZEAL.
That being said, it doesn't stop people from zerging panzer grenadiers online.

it always plays this song when you're losing

Four Americans disliked this
Canadian Tanker 777 the fatherland disliked this post
Another 2 did too
Damn those AT/Ranger spammers...
idk why... this music keep starting when situation got very epic... especially when my my base is under attack and my men keep fighting to the allies with all his got..
Epic last stand music here.
I was talking about Hetzers. I have this sequence of playing and usually end up getting em before the Americans or English get an armored car.
Traditionally, WW2 tank destroyers don't have a turret. Its an American gimmick to put a turret on a paper chassis and call it a TD.
Break contact, priority move orders!
1:35
Into zat building! Seven seconds zis time, go!
The Mark V didn't have a turret and was still classified as a tank.
The first few seconds it sounds like JAWS but TANKS
Panzer Elite takes care of business!
Ya zis vhat we here for !
Hummel 2017
The most hard company to play in the game.
They are so methodic man... The Wehrmacht is all about agressiveness, they combine with me somehow... but the Panzer Elite are really "elite", you have to be good to play with them.

The name is well chosen. When USA landed in Europe and started land fighting Germans, the war was already lost for Germany, especially when they fought in France. All Germany could have hoped for at this point was a peace with acceptable terms.
Too bad their leader did a last stand approach and made his old, weak, and young to die for his Germany.
@@noggy3133 they foresaw the cold war coming and somehow believed USA would deal with the devil and use Germany as a shield against the soviets. A bit foolish, though.
This one is called "Shattered" an composed by Inon Zur. Would be nice if you credited him.
2:10-2:17 I remember hearing smth similar in a Dawn of War loading screen.
snipers are also good at bleeing pg manpower. and upgraded halftrack too
well indeed was used as a effective tank destroyer, but it wasn't design for that purpose-
@SSdivisionen
you talk about the Luftwaffe? I dont like much them. My favorite infantry are by far the Rangers =) The best quotes are from them.. And you get the Comandos as well.
The infantry of the jerries are totally out outshadow by their panzers.
1:35 and onward for the best part
i like to make alot of kampfgruppen with g43:D and than a jagdpanther and some hetzer and all is good for the germans
@Elephantintheroom01 Basically, yeah. But they did believe in it.
Indeed :)
this music also suits the eastern front
Tank busters moving out!
