How to offend both northerner's and southerners, seems legit just a song to spite the Americans LMAO

Translating "Ami" as "yank" is pretty dubious though. It’s just shortened for american in German. I'd translate it to "Murican" or something like that.

I can't help but feel that the legionnaire reference is meant to conjure up either anti French or anti Roman sentiments, a very traditional rallying cry for Germans since Teutoberg forest.

[@EroticBurrito]

Legionär has a very different meaning in german. While the world is also used in roman militaria it could be granslated sellsword. Today it means someone who fights in another and against another country

[@cygnos6201]

Legionnaire only refers to the Romans in a political way, as the Romans were traditionally imperialistic, always trying to acummulate more wealth, as their system was reliant on that. The US which often times is getting compared to the roman republic, by even themselves, is in this context just called imperialistic. It's definetly not a very traditional rallying cry of germans, as the german mentality only exists for about 400 years, and the germans saw themselves as roman even proclaming the holy roman empire. Anti-french sentiment is completely justified, as all french people are related to satan. But, seriously no anti-french sentiment only really started after Napoleon's conquests so it's only like 200 years old.

​@@poppi510Nicht nur. Wir hatten unsere eigenen Gedanken, und die konnte uns keiner nehmen. Laut aus zu sprechen, was man denkt, konnte gefährlich sein. So wie heute. Das Lied soll vermitteln, das Soldaten nur Mittel zum Zweck sind ,um die Transatlantiker und Oligarchen.,sowie gewissenlose Politiker ihren Reichtum und Macht zu vermehren. Es geht nicht nur um deutsche Soldaten. Nehmen wir die Ukraine als Beispiel. Sie kämpfen nicht für ihr Land. Sie sterben für die USA. Sie sind gewissermaßen Fremdenlegionäre im eigenen Land. Die Ukraine ist schon lange an den Westen verkauft. Für wen werden wir Deutschen in Zukunft sterben? Wer bestimmt das wohl ? Der Satz: Stell dir vor ,es ist Krieg und keiner geht hin."

Мы перепели в 80-е эту песню : Шёл солдат из Алабамы Меж высоких гор крутых Повидать хотел он маму И сестёр своих родных. Припев: Ты проходишь по казармам А в казармах люди спят И у них под одеалом Как штыки х... стоят. Эгегегей, Сюзанна! Вся жизнь полна химер, Целый день стоит бананом Наш видавший виды хер. Эгегегей, подруги! Выходим из игры- Скоро лопнут от натуги Наши ветхие штаны. ОМП мы изучаем И умнеем с каждым днём Мы не только на сержантов, На полковников кладём. (Припев) Командир наш Саша Носов С нами весело живёт. Иы зовём его Насосом, Он нас любит и еб-т! (Припев)

[@Telford-Services]

Brilliant! I love it. The Stasi were decades ahead of their time. It's only been in recent years that entire regimes and systems have become so daring and resourceful as to vacuum out pretty much everything they want to know about the people under their management, and to effect it with most of the people they examine congratulating them for doing so, whilst they effectively report on their own parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, next door neighbors and work colleagues, using nationalism, neuvo idealism, personal security and profit from productivity as the underlying basis. Meanwhile, both internally and externally, the brutal and the entrenched ugly minded still flourish and still travel with ease and confidence. The wheel rotates around to the position it began from. What a beautiful, en-masse psychological experiment. 😁

I gotta give those Red’s credit for their Accordion and Musical abilities , a very catchy Tune . Dancing to tunes like this must have kept them in shape to jump those barb wire barriers along the Berlin Wall. That one fellow in the Historic Photo even did it toting His rifle, something a olympian couldn’t even do. I would bet that at headquarter’s the reaction to that guy jumping the wire was akin to Capones post Elliot Ness raid banquet in The Untouchables. The communists brainwashed those poor unfortunate DDR souls so thoroughly they were oblivious to the fact that they sang this song while serving in the communist Legion’s.
