Music of the "Hermann Göring" Division
Music of the "Hermann Göring" Division
Hello can anybody help,
Did the Hermann Göring division have their own unit song or music, if so does anybody know what it was called or what it sounded like.
I once saw something on the back of a music CD but cant seem to find it again now.
any help welcomed and thanks for your help in advance.
regards Mark

Of course: Fred K. Prieberg, Handbuch Deutsche Musiker 1933-1945, p. 5792.
See also p. 1048; it was the signature march of Hermann Göring's, who was an avid hunter and Reichsjägermeister.
Notice that Prieberg mentions it as the "General Göring" regimental parade march. The regiment later grew into the "Hermann Göring" Division; naturally, units didn't change their parade marches and songs depending on their size.
As we can see, the same as Hitler's signature march (Badonviller-Marsch) was the parade march of his bodyguard regiment (LSSAH, which later grew into a division), Göring's signature march (Der Jäger aus Kurpfalz) was the parade march of his regiment ("General Göring", which also eventually grew into a division).
Cheers,
Ivan
