Good day everybody!
I would like to ask, if somebody could help me with finding the lyrics for the Walter Jäger's song 'In den Lüften, hoch wie der Adler'. I've heard both instrumental versions by Woitschach (by Schmidt sadly not yet) and the version by Bendix Tumforde with singing. Though, the quality wasn't the best one, so I couldn't recognize a lot from the lyrics. I know that it begins with 'In den Lüften, hoch wie der Adler, da sind wir Flieger zu Haus'. Maybe somebody has a song postcard?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Auceps

PS
In case you didn't recognise them, that's Heyn-Quartett singing in Tumforde's version. The first lyrics I posted match their version, with two minor changes: in the 1st strophe, they sing "summt und braust" instead of "brummt und braust" and in the 2nd, they sing "froh[?] seinen Freiheitsgesang" instead of "seinen hehren Freiheitsgesang" (and they didn't sing the last strophe).

As always, thank you very much for the prompt and comphrehensive answer, Ivan!

Yes, I've recognized them. And yes, they're singing 'froh' there, indeed.

Ha, while searching for something completely different, I've come across this excerpt of a radio version of the song, in Die Deutsche Wochenschau Nr. 553: https://d1.net-film.ru/web-tc-mp4/fs40740.mp4

It seems that it wasn't recorded and was abandoned after 1939.
