Hello,

Now I have something called "Wir fahren gegen Polen" as I found it on the Internet Archive. I'm assuming this title is incorrect because I could not find anything based on that, and the lyrics are fairly hard to hear. I would appreciate it if the performer information was given about it.

Thank you,
Slav
