[Topic entitled "Music of German tank battalions during the Second World War" expanded and renamed by the host, Ivan Ž.]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for any book or material concerning music about German tank battalions.

[Ivan Ž.]

Hello again,

I haven't heard of a book dealing specifically with music of German armoured troops, it was usually published in various songbooks or individually. Listed below are the known songs and marches of the (Third Reich era) German Army's armoured troops.

Sitzt auf, Kameraden (music: Herms Niel; lyrics: Bruno Freiherr von Brackel) * Panzer-Regiment 15
Unser Panzerkorps (music: Carl Herbst)

Wir Panzer stürmen voran! (Im Osten stürmen die Panzer...) (music & lyrics: Josef Michels)

WWII (self-propelled artillery)

Das Lied der Sturmartillerie (Wenn der Kampf um den Sieg am wildesten braust...) (music & lyrics: Hans Georg Pfeffer)
Kanoniere im Panzer (Unser das land, und unser die Straßen...) (music: Heinz Schucknecht; lyrics: Kurt Heidrich)
Marsch der Sturmartillerie (Voran, es gilt den Feind zu schlagen...) (music: Edmund Kötscher; lyrics: Carl Alson)
Marsch der Sturmartillerie (music: Hans Georg Pfeffer & Robert Küssel) * trio: "Das Lied der Sturmartillerie"


Note that the piece that can be found online under the (fantasy) title "Panzermarsch" is actually called "Die eiserne Schar" and it was not a German Army tankmen's march but a paramilitary (Nazi) one. For more info, see the topic Panzerwagenlied.

Cheers,

There's also a German tankmen's song that may not be listed above (not sure), and that is the song from the 1940 film "Panzer greifen an!"

It can be heard here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2BTrfBmvxM
and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i2iTqYCmS0&t=531s

Unfortunately, I was unable to find any info on who created the piece, nor what was its original title. The part they sing starts with the line "Panzer voran, Panzer greift an". An instrumental version of the piece was later also used in German newsreels (see for example Die Deutsche Wochenschau no 669, from 30.06.1943, and the report "Bandenbekämpfung in Montenegro").

Thanks! Never heard this song before!
