There's a nice quote that pretty much sums up the meaning of this song:
"All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers." - Francois Fenelon
"Let the rich do their own fighting and furnish their own corpses and there will never be another war on the face of the earth"
~Eugene Debs
@@Lorenz_H that’s a good one too.
The Germans are definitely not my brothers! They murdered my grandfather.
My grandfather's murderers are not my brothers!!
@@GreatPolishWingedHussars I doubt that your grandfathers murderers are still alive.
"War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse...There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent" - Hawkeye
Dang that's actually sad
cant read how many dudes are copy pasting this all over the internet and think they have still said something deep.
@@cevapipapi6167 I'm going to guess that you've never experienced war, espcially any that you didn't use a Playstation controller to kill people? That's generally part of the problem today, even with those that have experienced war, but didn't experience it up close and personal.
However, it's not deep from me, it's from a fucking TV series...one you're probably not old enough to remember. One that was written by people who DID experience war at its shittiest...something you're probably never do, or will be too candy assed to handle it. Trust me, if shit happens and you actually ever do end up on the shitty end of war, when you're sitting in the trenches, in the mud and the blood, not knowing if you're going to live for the next 24 hours...you'll get really fucking deep. We do that when we know it's about time we're going tits up. My time is close enough that I wonder if I'll wake up the next morning, when I go to sleep at night. I get deep, but that wasn't it.
@@theresamaeda6462 War is always sad. The inhumanity of people against their own, all at the direction of people that wouldn't ever dream of fighting the conflict that they have caused. People killing for reasons that they don't know why, or understand, and wouldn't want to with it being that they are dying in vain for someone else's ideas and fuckery...and that is for those fighting against each other on all sides. NO ONE wins in a war - PERIOD. It's easy to claim victory when your ass just sat in an office in Congress, or the Pentagon but, the damage that it does to soldiers and civilians in horrific. How can you go back to a normal life after having killed countless other humans for no purpose that you're really aware of. The memories of fallen comrades, and the innocent people that were killed. Only a psychopath comes out of a war unscathed. Only a psychopath actually ever wanted to be involved in the war to begin with.
Now we've made that killing easy and sterile, with weapons that kill using a Playstation controller. It's not the same as when we had to bayonet someone up close and personally...see their humanity and the same fear in their eyes that you had in yours. To see their humanity and to extinguish it ONLY because they were falling some cunt's orders, just like you are. And then one day, the end comes. 5 minutes ago you were fighting, and then the cease fire comes and it's over...for everyone but those who fought in combat, which they'll carry with them all the remaining days of their lives, eating away inside them like a cancer. It's also different now because there's no draft, like there was when I was a teen and the Vietnam War was still going on. No, now it's people with no hope in life, who volunteer for the military with the idea that they'll get a free education, maybe a 20 yr career if they play their cards right, maybe stationed on some nice base in a great climate...and then 6 months after they sign up, they're heading off to a war somewhere, hoping that they don't get killed before they get those benefits that they were promised.
I used to be a gung ho mothefucker that loved a good conflict...the "bomb them to the stone age" type but, a LOT has changed over the decades. I'm not so prone to want a war with anyone any more, and know the costs of such wars. Whether the one dipshit who commented about people posting that quote and thinking their deep, understands shit in life, which I doubt, it was deep to the person who wrote it because, he'd experienced it in Korea, like my father did. That was the war of his youth, Vietnam was the war of my youth. MILLIONS of gallons of blood (ours, theirs, kids, women, innocent civilians) spilled on Vietnamese soil, and now it's just a quickly fading memory. Vietnam is an inexpensive tourist stop, when you can go see the wreckage and graves of war for an incredible low price. Because all of us old farts are dying off, and the memory of the horrors of that war are dying with us. That's why history just keeps fucking repeating itself...there are no people left around to remember the atrocities, the horror of war, so we're always ready and willing to kick a new one into gear.
do you mean this guy too? he credited it and it is deep@@cevapipapi6167
One of the best anti-war songs ever

I love this song

It was a ww2 song if i am not mistaken which is sung during invasion of Poland
@@mololomuanlallian it was a ww1 song

Im German and so I understand this song very well and I can just tell it's a beautiful and very true song against war.
I did not know it before and Im kinda shocked because its very well written I think and just a perfect example for German poetry. I've researched a bit and found out that this song is more or less from the year 1870 while the German-French war. It's a Folk-, Soldier- and Workers song, but by an unknown artist.
This also shows me that this German-French hereditary enmity, even back than was just an artificial construct of those who used this to legitimate their actions. Im glad that we by now were able to give hands and stay as good neighbors and just friends.
Es wird immer Seiten geben, die keinen Krieg mögen. Otto selbst sagte, dass jeder Herr, der einen jungen Mann auf dem Schlachtfeld sterben sieht, zweimal darüber nachdenkt, bevor er einen Krieg erklärt. Aber ich glaube, er ist mit den Franzosen in den Krieg gezogen, um uns Deutsche wieder alle zu einer Nation zu vereinen, anstatt der französischen Herrschaft und dem französischen Recht zu unterliegen. Krieg ist eine schreckliche Sache, aber es gibt immer Dinge, für die es sich zu kämpfen und zu sterben lohnt. Unabhängigkeit, Freiheit und Einheit stehen dabei ganz oben auf der Liste.
I'm Norwegian, so i can only understand maybe 50-60% of it, but i have to say it flows really well and i find it really beautiful

I'm using your comment to find out what the censorship is deleting. So these are not comments for you. Sorry to bother you!
3. This is propaganda to whitewash the Germans. Because this nation certainly didn't consist of prisoners who wrote peace songs!
4. The opposite is true! By the way, such comparisons with other nations as you do are also used to whitewash the Germans.
6. I reported the crimes in detail but it was deleted. This censorship is nothing other than whitewashing of the Germans.
I'm a soldier, even though I didn't want to be one
When I became one, I was not asked
I was torn away into the barracks I was captured
Like hunted game
Yes, from the home, from the hearts of
The loved ones I had to go away
And away from my circle of friends
Whenever I think about it
I feel the pain and sadness
I feel bright anger in my chest
I feel the glow and anger so warmly
I am a soldier but only against my will
I do not like
The blue kings uniform
I do not like
The bloody weapon-life
To defend myself
A stick would be enough
Oh tell me
What do you need soldier’s for?
Every people loves only peace and quiet
Solely from just power
And to harm the people
Don't work, just wait in the post
They tread over
Ah the golden field’s
I am a soldier I must march day and night
Instead of working I have to stay at my post
Instead of being free I must salute and see the arrogance
Of impudent comrades and if I go to battle then I must
Murder brothers none of whom has ever done me harm
Therefore as a cripple k wear a ribbon no a metal
And starving and then I shout I was a soldier
All ye brothers whether German or French
Or Hungarian danish or from the Netherlands
Whether green or red or blue or white you’re uniforms
Instead of giving each other lead greet each brother’s hand
Come on to our homes let’s march back
We will free our people from the tyrants
Because only tyrants need to wage wars
I want only to be a soldier for freedom
I want only to be a soldier for freedom
Man i love the text you deserve more likes and comments,great work😊👏

You will never hear something like that on all these Military march music channels on UA-cam, cause the text is against everything they glorify.
Ingen posted this exact song
Besides people like Ingen, who actually enjoy the music instead of being the stereotype that you want them to be
@@unraged6004 well but Ingen is not a only military march channel, he post folks and other tipes of national songs too, diferent from other channels that focus on military.
Seems Karl Sternau sung it a few times too
I don’t think that’s strictly true, I believe dr ludwig posted this, karl sternau, etc
For a Russian soldier, more relevant than ever
Respect
Es tut mir leid mein Freund, das krieg ist so schlecht und böser Putin ist mir egal.
Respect as well
Not when they raped the people of Berlin and massacre German civilians instead of liberating them form the Germany.

Inspired me to play battlefield again
kind of ironic that the best anti war song is a german one
This is definitely not the best.
We know what we're singing about - unfortunately.
Only because the last big war was caused by Germany doesn't mean that Germans are Warmongers
we are human too. and war ist just a piece of shit and the goverment that wants war can fight themselves. Idc i wont go to war im not taking part of this brain dead fairyland of satan.

@@qwerty_chump3599 No matter who speaks this language, I don't like hearing the sound of this disgusting language!
The sad truth that people after any war forget and wrote such songs is that there will always be people somewhere who will give a damn about the suffering war always is and attack their neighbours. Look at russia right now. I‘d love a world in which soldiers aren‘t needed. Where these brave people don‘t have to sacrifice their happiness for the good of the people they protect behind them, but I fear humanity will never be able to move past war. And so anyone who does and doesn‘t stay prepared is only making himself the easy target for a tyrant.
I am german and I fear that we have grown too acustomed to being at peace and not needing a military anymore, it‘s a quiet and calm but dangerous road not to be readying your defense in times of peace. But I so wish it were not that way and humanity could see that we can all work together and achieve more as a whole than any drawn up nations on their own
A Roman philosopher once said. "If you want peace, you have to prepare for war."

Ich liebe es... es ist schön zu sehen das die Sicht vertretten wird auch die meisten Deutsche den Krieg nicht wollten, das alles auch in frieden vonstatten gehen kann. Man sollte sich nicht von Gier oder Macht steuern lassen, sondern auf sein Herz und sein logisches denken hören.
Es ist schön komponiert, es passt sehr gut zusammen.
(For the english guys amongst you, just translate it)
Selbst Kaiser Willhelm wollte kein Krieg und bemühte sich um Frieden. Nicht umsonst feierten selbst die Briten.. die den Krieg wollten um Deutschland unten zuhalten. Feierten selbst nach dem Krieg, das Kaiser Wilhelm, frieden wollte und diesen auch als Friedenskaiser bezeichneten.
Pathetic attempt to whitewash the Germans. Because it's a lie that most of them didn't want war.
Earth deserves peace, our earth has witnessed the worst of humanity, its honestly unimaginable what limits will humans reach to gain victory over peaceful and harmless people. God bless all the dead soldiers of these conflicts, no matter there nationality, race or sex, also the song is the best german song I ever heard
The videos is just so matching and fitting. Great work!

Many german songs are beautiful. It's a shame that a lot of young, new artists go into the rap direction and sing about commiting crimes and whatnot. I wish there would be more people who sing about nice stuff instead of that. This is the reason why i barely listen to the radio anymore. But i guess times are changing, as well as the people's taste in music. Greetings from germany!

Good cinematic! Thank you for making it.
For those who need to know: this is a recording of the band "Zupfgeigenhandel" which was very popular among the leftist anti-war movements of the 70ies and 80ies. They found and covered lots of songs from the 1848 era.

@@Microbe1972 yeah
However German anti-war Song? That seems as absurd and ridiculous as if one were saying butcher's anti-meat song.
Not every German was and definitely IS a coldblooded murder machine.@@GreatPolishWingedHussars
@@Microbe1972 You just want to whitewash the Germans in a pathetic way. But not everyone but most were involved in crimes where they not only murdered but also robbed and committed other crimes. It is a historical fact that the overwhelming majority of Germans since 1935 at the latest were follower and supporters of the German Nazi government, thus they were Nazis. This was a completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation with the pure, insane and utterly barbarism! This Nazi nation was not only responsible for the deaths of 70 million but also for the destruction of many European cities and the economic ruin of many nations. A smaller percentage died as a result of the wars this nation is responsible for, but most were murdered in various genocides. Millions of them murdered millions.
Virtually the entire nation was involved in the felonies because there were various possibilities to engage in felonies. Not only the SS and the soldiers murdered but also ordinary civilians. Virtually the entire Nazi nation was involved in the various genocides. Because people were also murdered through hard work and starvation in the factories. Killing through hard work with too little food was part of the genocides. The watchdogs of the captives forced to work in the factories were ordinary civilians. They were the watchdogs for the "ordinary" slave laborers and of the laborers to be murdered by labor. Millions were murdered by labor and a total of 20 million were slave laborers so there were millions of civilians who were watchdogs watching the laborers die. They also murdered and tortured the workers themselves. And that was just one way by civilians participated in crimes. For the vast majority of Germans were followers and supporters of the German Nazi government. They were willing tools of the German Nazi government. One of this slave laborers was my grandfather who, like millions of others, was forced into slave labor. My other grandpa was hit by a German civilian to death. This German civilian was the watchdog for the Polish workers in a factory seized by the Germans in Poland. My grandpa worked there. By the way, it was impossible to quit the job. The Germans had the list of employees. And besides, my grandfather had to work to feed the family. The German watchdog got angry with my grandpa! He hit him in his anger until he died. My grandpa wasn't allowed to defend himself. Because if a Pole only raised his hand against a German, that was the death sentence. Such murders, committed by civilians, were not uncommon in occupied Poland. Also with the slave workers in Germany or in the occupied countries.
Loved everything up it minus the moonwalking part lol
Its a lovely song if you don't know what its about or what they are saying but it has a strong message
Such a missed opportunity for the new All Quiet on the Western Front movie, this song would have been better than most of the songs present in it.
but this song was written in 1870.
It reminds me "Te souviens-tu", a French Napoleonic-Song
i love that song
The rythm is based on that one
It’s actually to the same tune.
I love Te souviens-tu myself, but I prefer the meaning behind this song.
Das ist Wunderschön! Danke ☺️
Am Ende kommen dann die Tränen.....schlimm aber gut.
I just noticed how similar this songs melody is to the french song "te souviens tu"
Released in 1870. Our ancestors in the past feel the same as we do now: "Every folk loves peace only!"
Das sollte bei den Nachrichten mal laufen
I love how the meaning of the song is cleear in the title its not "Ich bin Ein Soldat"(I'm A Soldier) its "Ich bin Soldat" (I'm Soldier) because as soon as you become a soldier you become a tool, a number, a statistic, one of many, for all they're concerned you might as well be the soldier, not even giving you the distinction of being one.
Never knew that battlefield 1 could make me reinstall it, just from this

sounds like it was inspired by the Napoleonic song '"Te souviens-tu". A similar feeling of reflection on the wars.
This song is even more significant , when you know its originally a patriotique french song .

This is great
Thank you
Translation to English from a German. As accurate as I could get it, keeping in mind it contains old German:
I am a soldier, yet I am not willingly
When I became one, no one asked me
They forcibly took me, into the barracks
I was captured, like a wild animal hunted
Yes, away from home, away from my sweethearts heart
I had to leave and from the circle of friends
When I think about it, I feel the pain of wistfulness
Feel in the chest the burning rage of anger so hot
I am a soldier, but only with reluctance
I do not love it, the blue kings coat
I do not love the bloody life of weapons
Oh tell me, why do you need soldiers?
Every nation loves just tranquility and peace
Solely out of lust for power and to the detriment of the nation
Let you trample, oh, the golden fields
I am a soldier, must march day and night
Instead of working I have to stand guard
Instead of freedom I must salute
And must see the arrogance of cheeky lads
And if I go into the field I have to murder brothers
Of whom none did me any harm
For that, as a cripple, I wear a ribbon and a medal
And then, starving I shout: I was a soldier!
All you brothers, whether German or French
Whether Hungarians, Danish or from the Netherlands
Whether green, red, blue or white the trousers
Instead of lead, give each other a brotherly hand in greeting
Let's march back to our homeland
Free our people from the tyrants
Because only tyrants have to wage wars
Soldier of freedom, I would like to be
Soldier of freedom, I would like to be.
I hope one day this gets played in a games trailer or in an anime eps
How it FEELS to only have one post left in bf 1
I hope war can be relegated into the most cursed annals of the history books soon!
I WANT TO BE A SOLDIER OF FREEDOM!
Same melody as "Te souviens tu ?" French Napoleonic song. Nice
It sounds so much like Knorkator, that I need a Knorkator cover.
I am a soldier, but I don't like being one,
When I became one, they didn't ask me.
They tore me away, into the barracks,
I was captured, hunted like a deer.
Yes, from my home, from my sweetheart's heart
I had to leave, and from the circle of friends.
When I think of it, I feel the pain of melancholy,
I feel anger burning so hot in my breast.
I am a soldier, but only with reluctance,
I do not love it, the blue royal coat.
I do not love it, the bloody life of arms,
A stick would be enough to defend me.
O tell me, why do you need soldiers?
Every nation loves peace and quiet.
Only out of lust for power and to the detriment of the people
Let you trample, alas, the golden meadow!
I am a soldier, must march day and night,
Instead of work I must stand guard,
Instead of freedom I must salute
And must see the arrogance of insolent lads.
And if I go into the field, I have to kill brothers,
None of whom did me any harm,
But as a cripple I'll wear my ribbon and medal,
And starving I'll cry out: I was a soldier!
All you brothers, whether German or French,
Hungarians, Danes, Dutch,
Whether green, whether red, whether blue, whether white pants,
Give each other a brotherly hand instead of lead!
Let us march back to our homeland,
Free our people from the tyrants,
For only tyrants must wage war,
I will gladly be a soldier of freedom.
You should also do "Mein michel was willst du noch mehr"
Eines der geilsten wenn nicht sogar das beste anti kriegs lied
Nicht zu auftragend, sehr angenehm 👍🏼
Schön ist auch das Lied " Argonner Wald". 💙💙
May those who fought rest. Let us not remember them for their ideals, but remember them as fellow human beings
There is one mistranslation which i think is a very important difference!! "mich zu verteid'gen, wär genug ein stock" Is "to defend myself a stick *would* be enough" not "will" which is an expression about how you only need those advanced weapons because "they" have tham and they only have them because you have them..
I pray for Peace everyday. For all our brothers and sisters in the world🙏🏼
Where do I find the rest of the album? Got this on tape as a pupil in the 90s...
Selbst als deutscher soldat find ich das Lied sehr gut
No wonder the EU eventually formed, and also I like common sense, this song is full of it
I know its hard and I understand why many hate the fact they have to be a soldier. But it is necessary to choose the lesser evil for the freedom of your own folks.
The right question would be; What does it matter by whom we are opressed and exploited? If the outcome for the man on the street is the same, what does it change if the guy exploiting me is called Hans, Joe, Takashi, Pierre or something else. Usually our enemies are not across the border but in our own country. And usually they are the ones who shout patriotic slogans the loudest.
But multiple times, soldiers are send to destroy others freedom, and many soldiers do not choose that.
Well this song was written in 1870 and really here the goal was to attack France. Bismarck invented and crafted a political incident using napoleon III's lack of clever thinking and hot blood. Many french and germanics were sent to die for such a useless war all of this for an unification that could have been obtained by peaceful means. But no Bismark wanted to cripple and humiliate France, as he had one of the bad german habits, that is being pig headed and having trouble forgetting the past, making him a vengeful cunt. Ich bin soldat was written in 1870
@@ardugaleen2231 Bismarck did a great job uniting germany and there was no peacefull way, so you are wrong.
