  • The first verse and the melody of the "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned), better known as "Wo alle Straßen enden", was written by Horst-Heinz Henning in the 50s or 60s. The other four stanzas were added by Karl Sternau.

      @@wiktorantonovs1766 the reason why real wars have appeared to stop is because of the work required to declare war on another country. For example, the Falklands. Britain and Argentina didn’t declare war because it would be too much of a hassle for other countries because of procedures for war. A channel called ‘History Matters’ has a really good video on it that goes into more detail.

In the past at least you knew whom you were shooting at, but that warfare was way more horrible. They hadn't trucks to pull the wounded out of the battlefield, they had to expose themselves to horrible infections and constant shelling while not being able to advance or retreat, they had to lie in muddy holes stinking of urine, blood and faeces or die blown to pieces by some lucky shell, and in the meanwhile they suffered from cold and eventually trench foot if they were careless and/or unlucky enough. And the worst of all? Those charges just to take the next trench that costed several of those poor soldiers their life, and if they got to the other side, it was a two-sided bloody massacre.

      You clearly haven't heard many war songs. Blood on the Risers, for example. Since this particular song is post war, I think it's also fair to mention Denis Maydanov's songs Тишина and Танкист Летёха. That's without mentioning the dozens of songs written by Chechen and Afghan war veterans, or Yugoslav war veterans. That sort of dark and melancholy tone is pretty typical of Slavic music, actually, whether its about war or not

      @TheOneThatFlies Filler Indeed. They deserve so much more respect and gratitude than our generation tends to show them. For example, here in Finland, many young people openly despise the ”Reds”, hypocritically forgetting that most of the soldiers at the front in both Winter War and Continuation War (and Lapland’s War) were, indeed, ”Red”. My heart goes for all, who fought for their country’s freedom and future, on all sides, who gave their lives for that, or watched their friends die, day in and day out; as well as for their children, many of whom were orphaned much too young, and for their parents, many of whom lost their children to war, and just, in general, their families, friends, and those close to them. Thank you, great-grandparents.

      @@theonethatfliesfiller4098 That's a fucking lie. We do not enjoy our peace and freedom because people fought for it. People fought for it and we realized it's pointless and we sat together, formed alliances with the goal in mind to stop fighting.
      Saying it's the war that made the peace is like saying it's the slavery that gave black people rights. It's complete and utter bullshit and I cannot fathom how anybody could every romanticize war in that way.
      You know what really stopped war in central europe?
      Mothers and Fathers realizing that there is no "Vaterland", that the only quality that makes a land great is that it is safe enough, that your children do not have to go to war to fight for some rich men and women, all related to each other and playing a game of monopoly in which not they, but the small guy looses. That is what stopped war. Democracy and the associated right to elect people who do not want massive armadas and fleets and colonies to boost their ego. That's what stopped war. Being able to meet our neighboor and actually notice that the frenchman is less french and more man, like ourselves. That's what stopped war.
      @Simo Heinonen I think it's great that you can enjoy the little things in life. I hope both of you get the chance to enjoy your life to the fullest. I apologize in advance if I was too harsh, BUT we NEED to stop romaniticizing war. There is nothing great about it, literally.

    • @PC_Simo
      @PC_Simo 3 роки тому +1

      @PandaTrip Thank you, and all the same to you. Separately, I think TheOneThatFlies Filler meant that it’s because of the sacrifices our forefathers made in all those wars that we in the free world can live in relative peace and safety, not because of war itself. If there never was a war, they never would have had to make those sacrifices, and we still would be able to live in peace and safety. Perhaps even more so, because there would be no vicious cycle of revenge. But yeah, I agree about the need to stop romanticizing war. Being a Finn, ”Tuntematon sotilas” (”The Unknown Soldier”), being shown every year on Dec 6th, is among the first war movies I saw, and it’s a great movie to make you stop romanticizing war. ”Johnny Got His Gun” is also a great novel-made-into-a-movie for that purpose.

      @TheOneThatFlies Filler That is very true, actually; and one of the better examples of a ”good democracy” is, in my opinion, Switzerland, because of their direct democracy. All these problems tend to be extra prevalent in representative democracy. That being said, I totally understand that a direct democracy wouldn’t work in most countries, which are not as picky about their citizens as Switzerland is. 👌🏻

    My gramps is too young to have witnessed WW1, but was caught up in the tail end of WW2 (born in 1930). He's told me some very haunting stories, but also many that were rather heartwarming. When he and his friends were told that they had to help defend against the Allied invasion at age 15, they met some frontline survivors who had survived the eastern front, who simply told them "War's over lads, just head home" and luckily, they did.
    War is terrible, no matter how you look at it. For 2023 and onwards, all I want is a more peaceful world.

      Ich habe während meines Wehrdienstes sein "Im Westen nichts Neues gelesen", und ironischerweise hat sich in puncto Grundausbildung nicht viel geändert. Was er da beschreibt, war 2001/02 nicht viel anders.

    I haven't been all through the comments so apologies if this has been mentioned already. About Erich Maria Remarque - he died in 1970. He was a writer and is famous for a book set during World War I "All Quiet on the Western Front". (That's the English title anyway). I don't know whether it is read much these days. I read it many, many years ago when I was young (I'm in my early 70s now).

    so the translation of the song isn't a 1:1 translation of the german words. The meaning of the Lyrics is slightly changed so they are in english singable to the tune, too.
    I tried to do a translation ignoring any style or tune, but focusing on the meaning of the german Lyrics.
    Note: 1. I ignored all grammar and structure in english sentences
    2. get the full impression by reading my version, listening to the song and reading the original english translation at the same time
    Wo alle Straßen enden (where all the roads have ended)
    The path we walk does not
    wherever we look,
    the Time goes on
    The Heart, burned
    in pain, banned (banned in pain = trapped in pain)
    That's how we march lost (lost=forsaken)
    through the gray no-man's-land
    Perhaps none of us returns
    back to the homeland
    our mind only goes (these 2 are swapped in german)
    to Father, Mother, Sister (these 2 are swapped in german)
    in the orchestra of canons
    there is no victory
    The Captain orders
    go, on to the destination (destination, goal, target)
    That's how we give in loyalty (faith)
    for the emperor our blood
    Within the bloody thunderstorm
    of the cursed(condemned, execrated) French horde
    The fieldpost is lost
    the mud is ankle deep
    one only eats root bulbs (roots)
    one smells the niff (fug, smell) of corpses
    we are lost(forsaken)
    frozen in the wind
    there's already a whole long year (these 2 are swapped in german)
    between us and our dearest ones (these 2 are swapped in german)
    But in the east
    protection against crazed (wild, savaged, infuriated) russian hordes is needed, too
    The clouds are moving east,
    and villages are burning down
    already at a jung age we were allowed
    to tast (sample, feel, experience) death
    the land burned
    in hand, just sand
    The eyes flicker frayed
    from ghastly (horrible) war
    will I soon lie in a cold grave
    just like the other boys (jung men)?
    we are forsaken (lost),
    we are forsaken (lost),
    we are forsaken (lost),
    we are forsaken (lost)
    I walk up and down (german phrase for: around, through, just walking)
    look at the line of corpses
    yeserday at the same time (hour of the day)
    these were healthy and o.k. (blithely)
    who knowws where (where to go)?
    so hot, the purpose! (hot = meaningfull, grand, usefull, great. I think it's meant ironic because in reality there is no purpose )
    who knows how long
    the bright sun will shine for me? (= who knows when I'm going to die?)
    I only know that when I die
    the (my) brave (honest, well-behaved, good) mother will cry for me
    we are forsaken (lost),
    we are forsaken (lost),
    we are forsaken (lost),

Eventually they took cover ducking down in the trench the veteran’s friend was crouching to his right & he remembers watching a German grenade land in the trench right next to his buddy & BOOM! It went off & all the veteran remembered was regaining consciousness, there was a giant hole in his skull & they had to put a metal plate in there to reconstruct his skull. He looked to his right where his buddy was however & he was NOWHERE. LITERALLY GONE! All that remained he said was a crater in the trench where his buddy was sitting only moments ago.

    (Wo alle Straßen enden, transl. by jessie)
    Там, где кончаются дороги,
    Продолжим мы идти,
    Куда не повернёшься:
    Назад уж нет пути.
    Сердце - в огне!
    И кажется мне,
    В сером нигде затеряемся мы, на передовой,
    И никто из нас никогда не вернётся уж к себе домой.

    Отцу, сестре и матери,
    Что в памяти живут:
    Даже с пушечным оркестром
    Победа не светит тут.
    Капитан кричит!
    Наводи! И пли!
    И доблестно мы нашу кровь за кайзера прольём,
    Позиция французская покрыта будет вороньём.

    Наш пост уже дымится,
    И по колени грязь,
    Провизия закончилась,
    Гниют трупы пузырясь.
    Обречены мы здесь!
    Замерзаем насмерть!
    Любимая, не виделись мы уже целый год,
    Но русские проклятые вновь наступают на Восток.

    Затянет небо тучами,
    Деревни все в огне,
    Так молоды, так ю́ны мы,
    Нам руку тянет Смерть.
    Горит земля!
    Песок лишь в руках!
    В глазах стоит проклятая, жестокая война.
    Неужели где-то здесь себе найду могилу я?

    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.

    С разорванною грудью
    Лежит товарищ мой.
    Ещё вчера в этом часу
    Был счастлив и здоров.
    Кто знает мы где?
    Горим в огне!
    Кто знает сколько солнце светить ещё будет для меня?
    Знаю лишь, что если я умру, будет плакать матушка.
    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.
    Обречены мы.

    Leer la letra de la canción me hace ponerme en los zapatos de esos soldados y en la poca esperanza que podían tener.

    Wir sind verloren und geschlagen, wohin wir uns auch wenden, die Zeit nimmt ihren Lauf... werden wir die schönen Tage noch einmal erleben oder war der Verlust zu niederschmetternd? Aus Asche wird Neues - und mehr als Asche ist es nicht mehr.

    A hauntingly beautiful tribute to two generations of German soldiers who stood fought and died in the most appalling circumstances. The causes were bad, especially the second time, but many were just ordinary men who had no choice but to endure until they fell in unknown places and without any marker. Although fairly modern the wonderful tune and the lyrics in both German English capture and encompass the melancholy desperation of both generations and the futility of their sacrifices. It should be better known and more widely accepted and embraced in Germany.
