Re: Question 76
Gruß an Kiel? I've heard some Faust's "Defiliermarsch" motives at first.

Question 77
To get the quiz going (after 2+ years) - a new one - guess the song by the (translated) lyrics:
Hot glows the sun above Africa's soil.
Our tank engines sing their song!
German tanks in the burning sun
are fighting against England!
The tracks rattle, the engine roars!

Re: Question 77
"Es rasseln die Ketten, es dröhnt der Motor, Panzer rollen in Afrika vor"?
Re: Question 77
Of course! Your turn again - and please do post a question this time (anything, something easy, don't think about it too much).
Cheers!

Question 78
Hahah, thanks, Ivan! My question is simple: One German Musikmeister (who also served in the Wehrmacht) managed to compose a march that became an integrative part of every "Großer Zapfenstreich" behind the Berlin Wall until 1981. What was the name of this Musikmeister?
Re: Question 78
The answer is Otto Böhme (not an easy question for most members - perhaps it would be better to avoid the postwar era in the quiz, especially East Germany, which had more in common with the Soviet Union than with the Third Reich). Don't forget to confirm if the answer is correct!
Cheers!

Re: Question 78
Well, I took him because he was a prominent director of music already during the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht period and since the piece that I've meant ("Für Frieden und Freundschaft") is musically way closer to the pieces from his cavalry career. But the answer is correct, so now it's your turn again!
Re: Question 78
I completely understand why you chose him, but to know the answer one has to be familiar with the NVA music, rather than anything else
Alright, a new question will follow soon...

Question 79
OK, here's a new one!
Guess the melody and the march/song it was incorporated in (junior members can just guess the melody).

Re: Question 79
Hint: don't be fooled by the lively arrangement! This well-known, traditional melody was usually played much slower, especially during the Third Reich era, when it was used as an anthem by one of its (in)famous organisations. The marching song in question, in which the old melody was incorporated (as a closing tune), was dedicated to this organisation.
Re: Question 79
I guess it's "Wenn alle untreu werden" !
Re: Question 79
Well guessed, Teppeny!
It is the ending of Niel's "Wer sich uns entgegenstellt, der fällt!" (Anyone who opposes us will fall!), his only known song dedicated to the SS, featuring motives from the SS anthem, "Wenn alle untreu werden".
It was previously discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=94321&start=165#p2017236
Note: And that is what a true SS song sounded like. A brutal, anti-Semitic song (see the lyrics), portraying the essence of the SS. Nothing like the prewar love song "Erika", which the ignorant internet population, despite all the bees and flowers in it, wrongfully ties to this organisation.
Your turn, Teppeny!
Cheers,
Ivan

The vocal part was announced with the opening tune of the SS anthem (Wenn alle untreu werden, so bleiben wir doch treu), and the entire composition ends with the closing tune of the SS anthem (Wir woll'n das Wort nicht brechen...) - but in the Niel/Walden lively oompah-oompah style.
