[Several topics dealing with the same song have been merged by the host, Ivan Ž.]

Hi,

2 questions:

where can I find a copy of this song to download to an Ipod?

what are the spoken commands (?) being given between verses?

many thanks.

As far as I can hear it's "Links, zwo, ___, drei, vier!"

many thanks. I thought it was some type of facing movement command or marching command. That "zwo" always throws off my comprehension. Thanks again

Hi AT,
The "zwo" (instead of "zwei" was started wen military field phones were not clearly understandable. Thus "Ein, Zwei, Drei" was sometimes heard wrong. By using "zwo" instead of 'zwei" there was a clear distinction for the listener. Makes sense, doesn't it. ?

I just thought it had to do with a type of German Dialect...

Ok I am a German and I was s Soldier, so I con say it to you:
The "Zwo" is the german military "zwei", because at the beginning of radio and so on "Zwei" and "Drei" could sound very similar. And till now you have to say "zwo" in the militray or else your superior will have a little "disscusion" with you. :P
But in some german dialects it can be also "zwo" but hei, we have 160 dialects so don´t ask me in which one.

Jep that is what I am saying. In some regoins the dialects are still strong in some they are vanishing. In my homeregion (Frankonia) it is still strong, even under the youth. We are quiet proud of it^^, and it is very usefull, because it is normally shorter than the "Highgerman".

Hi,

I'm arranging a medley of Marschlieder for my band to play and am trying to correctly attribute each composition. Thanks to the wonderful listings by Ivan Ž., I have been able to include composer/lyricist details for each march with the exception of "Hinter den Bergen".

Many thanks in anticipation,

First of all, thank you for your kind words.

As far as I was able to find out, the author of "Hinter den Bergen" is certain Feldwebel Petersen. No further info at the moment...

Cheers,
Ivan

Many thanks Ivan, I will indicate it thus.

This medley will have its debut on Armistice Day in about a month from now.

Best wishes,

I am hoping that someone will be able to tell me some information about one of my favourite songs - "Hinter den Bergen strahlet die Sonne"

Who is singing it? Professional singers or Fallschirmjäger? If Fallschirmjäger, are they really marching whilst singing the song? And if so, how on earth was it recorded?

I also wouldn’t mind knowing when the song was recorded, but it’s really the question of who is singing it that’s been driving me crazy for about ten years now.

"Hinten den Bergen" was composed (both text and music) by a Feldwebel Petersen from 13./ Sturmregiment. I have this information from the booklet of CD "Grüne Teufel - Lieder der deutschen Fallschirmtruppe". It also says he was killed in action.
