Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum [German soldier song][+English translation]

New version: • Nachts steht Hunger st...
For the sake of historical truth of this song:
The song was written by the Silesian songwriter and youth leader Erich Scholz. There was never a Russian version of this song. It was a song for the German youth movement. The song is about the defeated West Russians Volunteer Army, which fought against the Soviets together with the Freikorps (Iron Division) in the Baltic States 1918-1919.
The West Russian Volunteer Army consisted of released Russian prisoners of war and was set up by the German Empire before the end of the war.

1. Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum,
tags die Schüsse knallen her vom Waldessaum.
Elend hält mit den Kolonnen Schritt,
und in Frost und Nebel ziehn die Wölfe mit.
Noch fliegt Russlands heiliger Adler
Mütterchen unser Blut gehört nur dir,
mag das rote Heer uns auch jagen,
leuchtend steht noch immer das Panier.
2. Ach, dahin ist stolze Macht,
keine Glocken klingen durch die rote Nacht.
Postenschritte, keine Freiheit mehr,
hinter Stacheldraht steht stumm ein müdes Heer-
Einer singt die alten Lieder,
lockt uns Schwermut und Sehnsucht aus der Brust,
wild und trotzig klingt es wieder,
im Vergessen liegt die alte Lust.
3. Und als Heer, das keine Heimat hat,
ziehn wir ausgewiesen nun von Stadt zu Stadt.
Menschen kommen, hören unser Lied.
Weiter geht die Fahrt, der Ruhm uns Sinnlos blüht.
Heimat, Heimat! summen die Chöre,
tausendfältig ersteht uns neu dein Bild,
Glockenläuten unsre Tenöre,
Orgelbässe klingen dumpf und wild.

Der Vater Meiner Ur-Oma wurde aufgrund seiner Leistungen als Wehrmachtssoldat gegen Ende 1944 als Maschienengewehrschütze zu einer SS-Kompanie beordert um die Großen Verluste auszugleichen und hatte davor schon an der Ostfront bei Stalingrad gekämpft. 1945 war er dann tatsächlich an der Schlacht um Berlin beteiligt und überlebte schließlich bis zum Kriegsende. Dieses Lied sang er damals meiner Ur-Oma vor als dieser mit seiner Familie ins Rheinland zog. Bis heute hat sie sich dies eingeprägt und hat es mir auch vorgesungen als ich anfing mich für die Weltkriege zu interessieren.

This is why there is a German version: After the 1st world war, the Baltic states were under pressure because Germany lost direct connection to them and also lost a lot of territories. The newly-established Soviet state started to expand and the easiest way was to attack small countries (the Baltic states). The German population in the Baltic states (pretty big) formed, with the help of main-land Germany, a paramilitary force to fight off the Bolsheviks (formed the Freikorps). After the victory in the Baltic states, the Freikorps was declared a terrorist group and thus, unconstitutional. So a lot of ex-Freikorps members (a lot of them were also WW1 veterans) went on and fought in the White Army. Briefing: ex-Freikorps members went on and fought in the White Army. Most of them were German WW1 veterans.

[@badeaivan6817]

I love how a fellow romanian can explain stuff so good. Buna treaba ! Also to add in this subject.There was this ''West Russian Volunteer Army'',formed by some remaining Freikorps in the Baltics under General Rüdiger von der Goltz (also leader of the kinda famous ''Eiserne Division") and the 'Special Russian Corps' .under General Pavel Bermont-Avalov.(was a cossack btw, thus probably the cossack origin of the song ?).This roughly 50.000 strong army was formed mainly by Freikorps, the russian unit and some russian pow's in german custody.

when i was in the city of haifa in israel i met an elderly woman sitting on her property in front of her house where she sang this song to her grandchildren. When I asked her how she knew this song and, more importantly, where she learned German from, she replied that she comes from East Prussia and that she fled to Palestina at the time of the Third Reich. She said that she is dreaming of returning to Germany to spend her last days there and to die in her home country Germany. but since east prussia no longer exists, it makes no sense for this woman to leave israel. she told me stories about germany and how beautiful this country should be and her stories motivated me to learn the german language. Und mittlerweile beherrsche ich die deutsche sprache sogar sehr gut und bin sogar in der lage im beruf deutsch zu benutzen. Aus dem grund verbindet mich dieses lied sehr stark zu Deutschland.

[@warriorofbaden7945]

@@RodrigoBorgia thanks for the nice compliments, that's very kind of you. the problem with the ex soviet republics is because that there were so many undemocratic parties and organizations during the collapse of the soviet union. these organizations overran the governments of the respective countries and the later military and financial aid from russia allowed the dictators to retain their power. i mean check out kasakstan. i believe that the "(president)" has been ruling for 25 years and only with russian aid could uprisings be prevented. In addition, the governments ensure that the people are as premitive and uneducated as possible so that they never get the idea of ​​rebelling. that's why i went to israel immediately after i found out that i had jewish ancestry because i am able to study intelligently there and to live in a democracy. I definitely hope that one day democracy and progress will come to these countries.

@@MW-wh8hh WW1 was started because of "the black hand" - an assassination group from Serbia with very very "kosher" origins WW2 was started, because England and France declared war on Germany. Hitler sent 42 peace offerings to Britain before and during the war. Germany didn't declare war on anybody, except Russia - but that was more because of broken agreements. I don't need to remind you that most people, civilians at that, died in Russia though - because bolsheviks are just "SUCH NICE PEOPLE" they rack up 100 million dead civilians in 100 years. Besides though. "Millions of lives" lost is a bit of a stretch, when talking about Germany, isn't it? Germany didn't go around Europe and waging war on people - the allies did. So if you wanna blame anybody, please, blame the "good side" for that.
