East German Guards at the Neue Wache and Soviet March "Comrades, Let's March Bravely"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The tradition of guards stationed at the Neue Wache is a long standing German tradition that has spanned over 80 years, under multiple different regimes. From the Reichswehr, to the Wehrmacht, to the Volksarmee and finally today's Bundeswehr.
That's how to do it, excellent drill, and very well trained soldiers. The last German army with style.
Definitely the essence of German military tradition on display.
Good thing that shithole "country" has been terminated. For ever.
Absolutely. The Bundeswehr is a yawn fest with drill being the least of their problems. Self-Defeat and Self-Hatred never does yield positive results.
This goosestep looks more closely related to the Wehrmacht era because the late 1970’s (to 1989) East German Neue Wache drill march is much slower and the legs kick much higher.
early era? the hand doesnt move as high as late era. I personally take this drill the best verion, the hand tidened but doesnt wave as high as in soviet drills, and of course the goose step is absolutely amazing.
by hand tidened I mean not forming a blade shape
@@Malisaan dude he means the steps not the hand. The goosestep is still german but the shoulder swing is definitely soviet style.
and, the nva parade formation uses soviet style (a tight square line without people carrying swords in the far right row) with a prussian goose step(the feet are lifted first before walking, unlike the soviets where the feet have to take a step as far as possible)
even though the hands are soviet style (first row formation when nva carries daggers(?) when they haven't done a salute (I don't know what's the name) to the honecker
f:goose step nva is getting lower every year
I'm not sure I recalled this correctly but there was speak of abolishing the Prussian style marching and going full Soviet but the German military leaders said that the German march music was too fast for Soviet/Russian style marches.
It must take lots of practice to hold that rifle almost completely vertically without dropping it while marching

Remember seeing this in 1988. I was mightily impressed by the whole thing
That's awesome! How did the military band sound? Do you remember?
@@MaximusandHistory awww I wish there had been the military band. We got to the Neu Wache just prior to the guard changing. We went inside to take a look.
Then outside they marched along from inside a big old building, and conducted the guard change.
Their build & the smartness of their uniforms were what really impressed me. The precision of their drill was impeccable. And I distinctly remember thinking(as just a wee lad) are these the type of men we will have to fight 🤣 It wasn’t a confident thought
@@anthonywalsh7613 I've had so many former NATO soldiers leave comments on my videos explaining how they were somewhat distraught by the precision of the NVA and that they would have to potentially fight them in a theoretical war.
What's interesting is that NATO rated the NVA as the most combat ready, well trained and disciplined army in the entire Warsaw Pact!
@@MaximusandHistory interesting that mate.
When you see it close up it brings it home much more.
Plus we were issued with information (pamphlets) explaining the capabilities
They did march bravely.

Ich war als Ernst Thälmann Pionier Mal vor Ort. Unsere Klasse wurde ein Mal in den Palast der Republik eingeladen. Dabei haben wir auch den Wachwechsel mit angesehen.Der Stechschritt ist preußisch. Die Russen versuchen ihn zu übernehmen. Er passte aber nicht zu ihrer Marschmusik. Also ließ man's seien. Denn Preußischen Gloria auf dem roten Platz zu spielen, wäre wohl nicht so gut angekommen.
А сейчас Германия подстилка сша. У немцев ничего нет, они зависят что им скажут из за сша.
Hi

Preußens Gloria wurde schon auf dem Roten Platz gespielt, von der Bundeswehr.

„Soviet march“
Gose steps is a Prussian military tradition.
Please change that.
I think you misunderstood the title, as the military band is performing a Soviet march, which was called "Comrades, Let's March Bravely", it was performed during the Russian Civil War. I know they are using the Prussian Goose Step, hope I cleared up the confusion.
There is not any soviet march!
The 1st is "Präsentiermarsch der Nationalen Volksarmee", composed by Alfred Pechau, the 2nd is "Brüder, zur Sonne, zur Freiheit", the German adaptation of a Russian song of 1895/96:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCder,_zur_Sonne,_zur_Freiheit_(Brothers,_to_the_Sun,_to_Freedom)
The 2nd tune is copied from Comrades Let’s March Bravely
War der Präsentiermarsch nicht etwas zu schnell?
@@uliquast1422 Ich meine: nein.
Gerade für den Präsentiermarsch der NVA gibt es bei UA-cam zahllose Beispiele; bei Veranstaltungen, mit grünem Hintergrund mit Erwähnung aller Instrumente im Zentralen Musikchorps und beim Historischen Platzkonzert zur 750-Jahr-Feier 1987.
"Comrades Let’s March Bravely" can be called a march, it has a size of four quarters and appropriate tempo, Soviet parades on November 7 started with this song performed by trumpeters of the Moscow Military Music College that was opening the parade (I then studied there) ua-cam.com/video/JElAAU_DW-I/v-deo.html
@@oboltustraharius1138 You're right. I needed the translation in the subtitles as my Russian got quite rusty. 😉
The music school is using this old Russian song as a march form 1895/96 since 1940.
It's a pity they played just a few notes and switched then to "The Great Patriotic War".
Эхх..Геополитика.. Хорошо нас так Запад на*бал с не расширением НАТО на восток....
Верно, НАТО не будет расширяться на восток. Вы не обязаны верить всему, что говорит ваш лидер Путин!
Ich wünsche mir diese Zeit zurück.
Wir hatten wenig Sorgen.
Viel Ärgerliches, aber wenig Sorgen, schon gar keine Furcht vor der Zukunft. Und heute? Sorgen , Ängste und gewolltes Desaster. " Zeitenwende". Als entscheiden Zeiten....
Ostdeutschland ist das beste Deutschland
Na klar - von Westdeutschland mit Billionen Euro wieder aufgebaut!
A comunist country with Prussian traditions. I wish the comunist in my country to have the discipline and respect for the traditions that the GDR use to have. Why the communist in other countries are destructive to national history and traditions ?
Because communism requires tearing down of traditions because traditions are seen as oppressive in Marxist ideology.

Old DDR ARMY!
....i'am sorry, it's the original "Wachablösung" like in 1943...in front of " Reichskanzlei"
They are marching like current Russian honor guard

Serious question, do current East Germans want independence from the west or is that just a meme. Cause I seriously can’t tell any more
probably there are some brainwashed(by soviets) east germans want it
@@borakaraca9788 but I have some mates who were born a decade after and they were born in what used to be east Germany and they joke about it all the time. It’s gone on so long that I if I ask them if they actually want it or not then il just be embarrassed. I’ve never met their parents as they are still in Germany so I don’t know if they had an effect on them. On another note funnily enough I’m learning German at Uni and my “study budy” is a Pole who’s indifferent to the Soviets. He was born in a soviet built hospital, taught in a soviet built school, played sports in soviet era sport facilities. He didn’t care much for politics, only what the effect is on the people and from photos he had seen prior to the Soviets, he wouldn’t be in a foreign university today as there was nothing in the area to give him opportunities, there wasn’t even a local school.
No, even majority of them favour reunification back in 80s. Only hardcore communist loyal to Soviet did, ordinary Germans did not. This is easy to understand for those Communist because when Germany reunify, they will be put on trial and would not have a place in a new society. I dont even know such meme exist on Internet
@@kiennguyenanh8498 I asked them and they said that their feelings are similar to the discontent the north of Britain has for the south of Britain.
@@proleterriert8075 You need to know that their country had been divided for 40 years with nearly no interaction. The alien and distant feeling can be understand. This feeling even stronger when the wall was built. Same thing happened to North and South Germany during Reformationu
The early NVA uniforms with closed collars are better than the later uniform with open collars.
I agree, the open collar was a ditch from tradition!
1984/85 hat man den Kragen auch geschlossen getragen ! Es war der Winterbefehl !@@MaximusandHistory
I remember watching them changing the guard here back in 1986 when I was in the RAF and we visited East Berlin.
Thank you for leaving a comment!
I get many comments on my videos from former NATO & Warsaw pact soldiers, its very surreal as I was born a decade after the Cold War ended!
Ugly helmets, 2 ww helmets are better
those helmets are WW2 helmets..
@@SweatyFeetGirl Yes and no. They never entered service, they were only developed during WW2. And the helmet we‘re seeing here (the M56) is only based of off the M45.
Real WW2 Stahlhelms were only worn by the West-German BGS (essentially a small military of its own) and fire brigades.
@@SweatyFeetGirl That helment is M76 post WW2 , RDA.
@@ossyroval it's called M56/76 and it was developed by nazi germany during WW2 and adopted by east germany
I remember seeing the DDR Army marching in Berlin in 1976, with some swiss friends, all at the age of 21 to 23 years old. We spoke all french and as we said they look like the Nazi Wehtmacht, some east germans looked at us with realy unfriendly faces,
They marched in the German military fasion,which goes back well before the Nazis came to power.
The GDR brainwashing narrative were , the Nazis were elimininated, what was false
Celebrating miltary parades and rituals were and are fashistoid
OWN FAULT.we can understand france.
ua-cam.com/video/mE46CHiQjyg/v-deo.html The same here in 1974.
Jesus, that would hurt the shit out of my shins.
Dear God, this is no sovjet marsh, you morron!
Мы помним и любим вас, восточные немцы. Простите нас за предательство Горбачева. Мы обязательно исправим эту ошибку и снова будем вместе как братские народы
Они обижены на нас!!!
@@СергейПогодин-й7л всё поправимо. Было бы желание
Какой друг использовал танки и солдат, чтобы расстреливать и подавлять немецкий народ в 1953 году, когда они хотели свергнуть советское марионеточное государство и хотели воссоединения. Арестовывали и отправляли немцев, не желавших иметь ничего общего с коммунистическим режимом, в спецлагеря и Сибирь. Так много для дружбы.
@@kiennguyenanh8498 ну так спроси самих немцев, что там за провокация была в 1953 году. А Сибирь это страшилки 👻 для западной пропаганды
For brotherhood an peace for everyone.

@@agorazontas5894The real Germany is already dead.
I prefer the GDR when it comes to the military, both the GDR and the FRG were puppets of the great powers, but at least the GDR kept the German military tradition.
@@weitnerscheckanberden4405 Yes, the German values and military traditions, that led Germany into 2 World Wars, antisemitism and the Holocaust. Congrats! May I call you a revanchist?
@@agorazontas5894world war 1 was caused by the death of an Austrian arch duke, has nothing to do with Germany's traditions. Idk what are you yapping about
Now I'm no tankie but these dudes have swagger.
It's so sad that the german Guard don't exist anymore 😢😭😭
All.now impotent
Las SS hacían lo mismo, pero con más motivación
So similar to the regime that totally did not exist from 1930 or whatever to 1945
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 It is a joke, when you're in denial of something on the internet that you clearly and everyone clearly know what happened/what existed/..., you say "I totally didn't do this/that"
It is also similar to the Reichswehr of the German Republic of Weimar, so what? It's just German/Prussian traditions that despite the kind of the regime that at any time rules over the German Reich, the traditions were followed (excluding the most un-german state, the Federal Republic of Germany)
Name of the march?

真正的人民军队！
Would they really have fought against their west german brothers ?
They were so brainwashed, they would have done it
Yeah, brainwashed Sure. Forced to read kapital and state and revolution, truly the peak of communist brainwashing. Ever thought that maybe the West germans were brainwashed into fighting for the capitalists?
@@agorazontas5894 can i ask something what is it whit the west and east fighting and i DONT! think they would no matter how much they get brainwashed fight against their own friends familys etc!
Я видел подобную церемонию лично в мае 89-го.
Men noemt dit ' de ganzen pas'. Ik ken geen enkele gans die zo loopt?
Geweldig! Jullie Nederlanders hebben echt gevoel voor humor! Heel sympathiek!
Thank you for the great video.
This is top-level marching step! Given that the tempo is fairly quick legs are raised strikingly high, toes pointed forward, legs are kept straight, no any tightness in torso, soldiers march freely with full control of their bodies. High-end marching, pleasure to watch!
Ironic that the Nazis also used this music.
Really? Pretty sure that's a commie song originating in Russia
Das ist bestimmt verdammt anstrengend

Goosestepping isn't German its Prussian and goes all the way back to the Bismarck era.
Prussians ARE German 😅
Not the old Baltic Prussians
@@MaximusandHistory the tradition of goose-stepping military drill is Prussian as opposed to Saxon,Bavarian,etc my own great grandfather was born in the kingdom of Prussia in the late 1800's and was a field hygienist during WW1
Regardless this peculiar change of guard, it would be interesting for me to know if there is any book related to military aestethics.

From all the versions of the Präsentiermarsch der NVA, this has got to be the worst xD
It‘s just way too fast and too loud…
i think this is sped up
Probably has more to do with the poor acoustics of the street than anything. Also when it’s only 2 bars of something played like this it’s often pretty bad. May 9 parade the band always sounds terrible because it’s just pausing the band every 250’ the minister of defense stops to review a unit lol
@@Usmodlover yeah makes sense
This is due to the poor audio quality, in real life the performance would sound great.
Wehrmacht, die zweite...

Que parecido por la forma de desfilar a la Alemania nazi
Así era el cambio de guardia en la cancillería de Hitler. Busca los videos aca mismo. Ellos mantuvieron la tradición mientras que Alemania Federal la sepulto.

Real question is where does the changing of the guard take place now that it was moved away from the Neue Wache
It might come as heartbreaking news to you, but they didn't move it anywhere, and that's because the changing of the guard ceremony is no longer a thing since 1990!
The Bundeswehr does not continue the tradition of the Großer Wachaufzug unfortunately.
@@MaximusandHistory Thank you for this information.
I personally visited the Neue Wache in 2019 and I knew the Chancellor still places a wreath to the victims but was not aware that the Wachaufzug ceremony was discontinued.
@@ernestkhalimov1007 They still send guards on state visits, but yeah, sadly this tradition has been discontinued.
