The track list looks practically the same, and it is from a budget label, which would make sense considering the generic qualities of these recordings. When I looked for a possible origin point, I found a compilation on Discogs that shared some similarities.


These are easily searchable, so I will not provide links. I am not sure if the credits are accurate or not, but I thought I should ask. It is a part of the Jean-Pierre Faur collection, according to the description. There is finally “Soldaten, Kameraden - Bekannte Soldatenlieder und Märsche” which does have a different chorus or instrumentals. “Wenn Soldaten singen” gives credit to “Chor & Orchester des Versorgungs-Battalions” with the same versions as the others. There are two other compilations I am talking about as well. For example, the “Bekannte Soldatenlieder” compilations are given credit to “Soldatenchöre” while the same version of the same song on “Gesungene Marschlieder” is given to “Ein grosses Bundesblasorchester mit Männerchor”. I wanted to catalog these in my music collection as well, but I noticed that the information on them is inconsistent and not usually descriptive. One of the things that got me to like this type of music was the generic compilations of “Soldier Songs” that are extremely popular on YouTube and the streaming services. The latter includes Funkerlied, Panzerlied and Lili-Marleen. Louis in 1968 (!) when I was in college, and some years later I acquired "German Army Chorus And Brass Band - Soldier Chorus of the Training Battalion, Officer's Training School #2, Hamburg & 6th Music Corps of The German Federal Army". I bought "Ein Heller und ein Batzen 16 beliebte Marschlieder gesungen vom Soldatenchor und gespielt von dem Orchester den 11. My question is, does the modern Bundeswher, atoday, actually still encourage it's members to participate in singing these traditional songs or is it now frowned upon? I have in my collection several Vynyl LP records from the 1960's (for those who grew up with CD's, and MP3's, and too young to remember, these were bits of plastic, with music recorded on them, and played on a record player), these were songs and marchial music played and sung by the post-war Bundeswehr and include songs such as Funkerlied, panzerlied, Prussiens Gloria etc etc. I would like to ask the following question, The German military have always had a strong tradition during imperial and TR times of using martial music and "soldatenlieder", sung by I assume real people at the time., My question is, post war, what was the attitude towards this type of music? Hi folks, I've followed this topic for quite a while and seen have many threads/links to original German military marches and songs.
