This entry has been published on YouTube, I would like to know its origin and, if possible, the full text. Could it belong to a certain organization?

The song "Das Boot heraus" [Das deutsche Wassersportlied] was written and composed by Walter Carlos, and recorded by Erwin Hartung and a male quartet accompanied by Hans Bund's orchestra, for Telefunken, 1 June 1934.

The Nazi water sports organisation was the National-Sozialistischer Wassersport-Verband (NSWV), but I must admit that I don't know whether this was a separate organisation from the Deutscher Wassersport-Verband (DWV), which was older. I wasn't able to find much info on either of them.

Carlos also created the song "Maschinen heraus" [Das deutsche Fliegerlied] for the Deutscher Luftsport-Verband (DLV), which was also recorded by Erwin Hartung (only for a different label and with a different band and chorus, in 1933; it was also recorded by Hellmann's band, in 1934).

Cheers,
Ivan
