Blast From Our Past.......2006-02-17

Very interesting recordings. Thanks to the digital revolution, us Baby Boomers and their children can now hear the music of another era, that will never be broadcast on public radio stations. My one complaint is that, perhaps, the sound quality could have been improved by using the original source tapes, if available.

two points:.......2006-01-26

a. The fellow who informs us, rightly, that to buy this CD and enjoy it will ensure that no woman will want to be near one, bills himself as a "Free Thinker" -- if you're not laughing at that, you're not one, either.
b. These are VERY OLD RECORDINGS, folks. It won't be like your Coldplay album. There's no stereo or Earth-shaking bass. There are no morbid Soviet dirges. These are, to say it again, VERY OLD RECORDINGS OF ROUSING GERMAN TANK MARCHES. Approach it as such and don't write stupid reviews like, "The sound quality totally sux!"

One Guarantee...It's a Party Killer.......2005-12-04

I didn't even know that this music was still sold - mainly because I naively thought "Who in their right mind would want to listen to Nazi theme songs?" But once again I am amazed at some of humanities' xenophobia. So this review goes out to all you neo-nazis, fascists, & racists: buy this album...listen to it frequently. This will guarantee that no woman will want to be near you, and the world will be spared of your offspring.

These Are Original Recordings.......2005-08-06

As one of the reviewers has noted, these recordings are of mainly historical interest - these were mastered from old 78 rpms discs, and as such don't have the dynamic range of later recordings. These are not "DDD" disks! There are a lot of scratches and pops, but what comes through is authenticism. If you don't mind the sound of Caruso's remastered recordings, then you won't have a problem with these.

As these were studio recordings, masterminded from the Goebbels propaganda factory and destined mainly to be broadcast, many of the orchestral /band arrangments are similar - in fact most of them seem to have the same chorus voices, in that respect they do sound similar. Best listened to on an old "repro-antique radio" cd player.

Brassy CD.......2005-06-01

Viewers of a Hollywood film from the 1966, "Battle of the
Bulge", are familiar with the "Panzer Song" sung by
German tank crews before their attack on the Americans,
during late 1944. In PZG's "Panzer Marches", listeners will
be able to hear this popular tune as it was originally
performed and recorded more than sixty years ago by the
men who actually drove the usually outnumbered but never
out-classed "Panther"s and "Tiger"s against Allied
"Sherman"s, "Matilda"s and T-34s.

Other tank music featured on this brassy c.d. include
"Heil, Motorenstandarte" ("Hail, Standard of the Motorized
Divisions"), "Mit vereinigten Kraeften" ("With United
Forces"), and "Landser und Panzer". Included are two
versions of "Marsch der Panzergrenadier", but both are so
different from each other, they each make unique
contributions to the collection. The same applies to the
"Adolf Huenlein Marsch", performed with and without
chorus. Huenlein was the founder and leader of the
National Socialist motorcyclists --- Stormtroopers on
wheels, who provided escort for Hitler and his colleagues
as they drove across Germany from one mass-rally to
another. Known as the "Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahr
Korps" ("National Socialist Motorcycle Corps"), we hear the
"NSKK Marsch", with one of the Party's most catchy
melodies.

Lovers of traditional military music will search in vain for
better performances of the classic "Steinmetzmarsch", the
"Fehrberliner Rittermarsch", or "Fredericus Rex
Grenadiermarsch". These orchestral pieces, composed
long before the Third Reich, were not banned by the
postwar occupation authorities, unlike the fate of other PZG
200's selections, all of which are still outlawed in today's
German democracy.

Some of the music on "Panzer Marches" may be
identified with specific campaigns. For example, "Ade,
Polenland" is one of the few songs to come out of the brief
fighting in Poland, during 1939. Set, appropriately but
unconventionally to a polka beat, one wonders if it was
revived for the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, some years later.

"Panzer rollen in Afrika vor" ("Panzers roll ahead in
Africa"), and "Heia, Safari!" are obvious veterans of the
Afrika Korps. In the former, the chorus sings, in part, "Go
forward trough the wicked sand, and the hot, burning sun.
Hi, ya, Safari! Whenever the British lion roars, we'll shut his
big mouth!" Lyrics for "Panzer rollen in Afrika vor" begin,
"From all over Germany, the Fuehrer's soldiers in their
black uniforms came to defeat France. Now, the Panzers
are rolling through Africa. The treads clank, the motors roar.
The sun shines hot over the German Afrika Korps, but our
Panzer engines sing their song, as we drive through the
sands against the English. The Brits are afraid of the
Fuehrer's soldiers, but we fear neither death nor the devil.
Miserable English arrogance is collapsing." A
contemporary song about the Desert Fox, "Unser Rommel"
("Our Rommel"), runs, "We are the German Afrika Korps,
the Fuehrer's stalwart troops. We fight like devils, taking the
Tommies by surprise, and march to the beat of our drum.
Forward with our Rommel!"

As far as this reviewer knows, "Panzer Marches" is the
only collection to include "Lied der Panzergruppe Kleist",
named after Ewald von Kleist, who was promoted to
Fieldmarshal for his successful campaigning on the
Eastern Front, in the Caucasus. Although retired from the
Army a year before war's end, the 65 year-old man was
arrested by the Americans in 1945 and turned over to the
Soviets, in whose tender mercies he died nine years later.

Lyrics for his Panzer song read, "In the West, we showed
the enemy that we were the greater power. Whether in the
mountains or on the plains, no obstacle hinders us. We roll
on, and if we have to make sacrifices for victory, for our
country, why then, roll on! We are the Panzer Group Kleist."

Product Description

This album takes the listener on a musical excursion through the history of the famous Regiment-, Division- and Panzerkorps- "Grossdeutschland", presenting military marches and soldier's songs in a compilation that chronicles this elite German military unit's evolution from the "Wachtruppe" - the army guard detachment stationed in Berlin during the Weimar Republic - to the mighty combined arms force of the late war years. Brandenburg Historica has searched the globe to assemble the priceless 78rpm records (dating from 1928 to 1943) that at we have transcribed for this compilation. Eighteen of this album's TWENTY tracks feature marches and soldiers' songs that are performed by the unit's own choruses and/or bands, while the remaining selections highlight central aspects of Grossdeutschland's unit history and wartime career. These rare source recordings have been restored for maximum fidelity while preserving their unique period ambience. Included in this collection are not only "Grossdeutschland's" official parade march and its presentation march (performed in a rarely heard "honor guard" arrangement with the German national anthem), but also a rare transcription of "Grossdeutsche Grenadiere", the regimental song of GD that features music by GD Obergefreiter Hans-Martin Majewski and lyrics by Infantry Regiment Grossdeutschland's commander in the French Campaign, Oberst Gerhard Graf von Schwerin. Also presented is a selection of the parade marches and songs of the German mechanized forces of the Second World War (including a rare vocal version of the much requested "Panzerlied"), as well as those traditional marches played during guard changing ceremonies and parades in which the "Grossdeutschland" units were regular participants. Painstakingly researched and produced, the album is accompanied by a lavishly illustrated twenty four-page booklet that presents a detailed overview of "Grossdeutschland's" career, the history of its two bands and detailed background information on the featured musical selections.

GD CD.......2007-07-09

This CD is excellent and well worth the price, the sound quality is first class and includes rare music that you probably will not hear elsewhere.
There is also a very detailed history of the Division included with the CD, something that goes beyond the expected. Purchasers will have no regrets when buying this CD.

Groß Deutschland music........2007-07-06

As an re-enactor I like to know as much as possible about the people I re-enact. In my case Groß Deutschland 1 Co. 1e zug, in Holland. That's also the reason why I purchased this CD. German army was know to be a foot-soldiers army and marching with songs and music was common. This CD contains the music of GD's own marching band and it sounds as good as it should be. There is also a piece in wich the "wachregiment" is givven verbal orders and continues marching on the bands music. Also the "Panzerlied" "Erica" and "Westerwald is sung on this CD wich gave me the oppertunety to learn the lyrics on music, so our "troop" can also sing them when on the march. Fot what it's worth, I like the CD because the music is very recognizeble for the period of time and is very well played by the GD band.

An excellent compilation.......2006-06-26

The twenty tracks on this CD are relevant not only to GD, but to German military music in general, with many well known pieces. Sound quality is excellent, better than I had expected from this kind of archival material. The accompanying liner notes booklet is unusually comprehensive and provides both a brief history of GD and of the various musical selections. Highly recommended!
