The melody is from a melancholic Russian folk song, Katushya. The Spaniard version of this song, Primavera, has similar lyrics about the hardships of war, but remains triumphant. This German version is a downer tho. Also, the painting in the background depicts the Division Azul, Spaniards who fought for Germany on the eastern front

I know it has been 9 months but I just came across this. The image is confusing at first as they are using German weapons such as the MG-34, MP-40, Kar 98k, and stick grenades but have Spanish Flags on their shoulders. But there is also a PPSH-41 which is Soviet. The soldiers are Spanish volunteers (also called the Blue Legion) that were only allowed by Francisco Franco of Spain to fight the Communist on the eastern front. The song by my opinion was probably a German version of a Spanish version of Katyusha but about the horrors of being a German soldier on the Eastern front.

I am studying to be a historian, now I am in modern history classes ... and I have to say that the history of Germany is very sad They are the bad guys in almost every historical moment, Barbarians who plundered Rome (but it was that or starve or die at the hands of the Huns) Then in the early middle ages (they are assaulted by the German-Latins, for following their pagan traditions and plundered by Vikings and Slavs) Then the holy empire (an attempt to keep the Germans together that never worked and ended with a 30-year war that would kill so many people, being overcome only by the First World War centuries later) It just seems that Germany was happy in the times of the founding of the German Empire until the beginning of the First World War. This town knows of death and pain, I am not justifying anything but damn if they did not have a good time

[@АвтономныйСтранник]

It's funny that most of the German soldiers' songs, thanks to the phonetics of the German language, were perceived by Russians as warlike hymns. However, it turned out that these songs had a very sentimental and lyrical meaning. Interestingly, the most famous German soldier's song Lily Marlene was popular in the Red Army. This song was translated into Russian very accurately. And in this video, a completely non-military Russian song about a Russian girl (who is waiting for the return of her soldier), in German translation, describes the hardships of the war.

You'll have to work out the fingering for yourself, but the into is essentially just Am and Emaj played in specific order to get the right tune, starting from the 2nd string- The main part for me is: Am, Emaj, G, then hammer the 3rd and 5th frets for the first choral part, then Dm, Cmaj, Emaj, Am. I can't really describe it properly using the youtube comments, and I based the chords on the way I play it in fingerpicking/classical style, but hopefully it helps a bit.
