[Topic renamed by the host, Ivan Ž.]

As the title says, doing a school report and I need lyrics to songs that are protesting Communism/Soviet Union, any of their enemies really. Or if you have any Soviet songs protesting Nazism it would be a big help. Thanks in advance.

Not necessarily "protesting communism", more of a military march: Vorwärts nach Osten!

There are several :

- Vorwärts nach Osten
- Wir fahren gegen Osten
- Im Osten nun marschieren wir
- Im Osten pfeift der Wind

I guess there are a lot of others ...

Thanks for all the help, having trouble finding accurate translations to most songs though lol. I am pretty sure music wasn't the main influence in getting foreign volunteers from other European nations into the Waffen SS to fight against the Soviets, so what would you guys say the main influence was based on?

From the looks of the foreign ss recruitment posters, the prime selling point was a pan-european front against communism.

Yes, that was indeed the main idea. But, in reality, every volunteer had his own reason (and not even all were volunteers in the first place).

Cheers,
Ivan
