Marsch der finnländischen Reiterei

[jiipeeish]

wilhelm16...

With your comments about perhaps ONE OF THE GREATEST MILITARY MARCHES IN THE WORLD...You stepped on " HOLY GROUND"...This is THE MARCH OF THE FINNISH CAVALRY IN THE 30 YEAR WAR.

What would you think... If I would put a video here and tell people that Alte Kameraden is a Finnish fishermans song?

[jiipeeish]

KUNNIA...ISÄNMAA!!!

[jiipeeish]

HAKKAA PÄÄLLE POHJAN POIKA!!!

HIT IT SON OF THE NORTH!!!

Therefor the name "Hakkapeliittas"...Because of their attack shout

[jiipeeish]

HAKKAA PÄÄLLE POHJAN POIKA!!!

HIT IT

[CarchariasMegalodon]

"A horribile Haccapaelitorum agmine libera nos, Domine!"

"O Lord, deliver us from the terrible army of the Haccapelites!"

"Herra, pelasta meidät hakkapeliittojen hirvittävältä armeijalta!"

[Tsapluuna]

"Our Hakkapelites cannot have been any sort of fine representatives. I should mention a parade of the Gustaf Adolf troops in the Thirty Years' War, while the king still lived. At first went the blue, yellow, green etc. mercenaries of the regiment in their flashy gear. Then came, clothed so-so, bridles and sword straps repaired with birch bark and cord, legs hanging from the backs of their small, shaggy horses, cutlasses dragging on the ground, a troop of hollow-cheeked but stern-eyed men."

[Tsapluuna]

"When the Dutch ambassador inquired who they were, the last rider, a fat German Quartermaster ] in charge of the cargo proudly replied "The royal Life Guards: Finnish, pärkkele!"

[DiVeronica]

Kaiser Wilhelm II loved this one. It was one of his favorite marches.

[hansimunz]

GLOREICH!!!!! Genialer Marsch!! Heil Akira! Heil KFS!! Die Zukunft für uns!

[MrGamernumber1]

This is a great song :) And it is not german...it is finnish ! God bless you beloved country!

[vonmazur1]

"Skoot manga Russyar!!!" (Yes I know all about the 30 Jaerigen Krieg and when it took place.....) Nonetheless, the best Kettle Drum intro ever!!!

OK SO I WAS WRONG, WHY THE HECK DOES EVERYBODY GOTTA CALL EACH OTHER ASS, OR SAY "FUCK YOU" OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A JERK ABOUT IT, JEEZ!

[Isanmaantoivo100]

Hakkapeliitta= Top A-class

[ss90ss444]

Sweden contributed nothing to the fight against evil stalinist bolshevism.

Balts probaly suffered most of the war because considering how many estonians and latvians were murdered and taken to Siberia by the russian bastards. Fucking bastards!

Everybody should read what the russians did in the Baltic countries after the summer of 1940. We also had few volunteers in Estonia figthing against the russian horde.

[ss90ss444]

To all the swedes who comment. Where was Sweden during WW2?

500 swedes in the SS? Whata fuck! Even Finland had about 2000 SS-men. Most of the fought in the Caucasus.

Ula Olin was good SS-man but I still think SS-Untersturmführer Tauno Pohjanlehto was the best.

Balts and finns were the best non-german soldiers in the North during WW2. Norwegians were also pretty good since many of them served in the finnish front so I have to respect that.

@ss90ss444 Gut, du hast recht. Mein Vater war in SS-division-Wiking in Terek.

Ich bin Finne und hasse die Russen..

My father served in finnish cavalry  Ryhmä Oinonen (URR) in WWII. Also meny of my forefathers were haccapelitas.

[Isanmaantoivo100]

Very glorious march! *****

Fearless finnish light cavalry

Hakkaa päälle Pohjan poika - Cut them down

[Kuhlfurst]

Best version of this march I've heard. Finnish song + German quality = Epic.

[isomolle]

I would like to see and hear a mounted band playing this march!

Tämän kun vielä näkisi ja kuulisi ratsastavan soittokunnan esittämänä!

[unserdeutschland]

YOUR WRONG!!! IT'S NOT GERMAN, DAMN IT, IT'S FINNISH!

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED Marsch der (finnländischen) Reiterei

finnländischen means FINNISH!

[torhjelm]

@unserdeutschland

But we don´t know who originally composed this march. We only know it is dedicated to the Finnish hakkapelites. The music itself could well be of German origin.

[TreuBlauPreussin]

@unserdeutschland ITS GERMAN ASS THATS WHY THE TITLE IS IN GERMAN IT WAS MADE TO COMMEMORATE THE GERMAN LIVES LOST IN FINNLAND PROTECTING THE COUNTRY AGAINST THE REDS!

[Nordost44]

@TreuBlauPreussin

How this can be dedicated for Germans who fought whit Finnish in world war 2 when this march was already played in Thirty Years' War ?

[TreuBlauPreussin]

@Nordost44 it wasn't made then stupid ist was made I believe 1942 on Hitlers recommendation because know they could openly be proud to help Finland agaianst the soviets because they were at war themselves.

[Nordost44]

@TreuBlauPreussin

WHAT you cant be serious! This march has been made in 1600 and its dedicated for FINNISH cavalry in Thirty Years' War.

Sent me evidence that this march has been made in 1942. This march dont have nothing to do whit Germans WW2

"Our homeland lies in the snows of the North;

the hearth of the home glowing warm and strong

Our hand has grown sure with playing the sword

and honour and pure faith lies in our record "

lyric show too that this is not German march

[vonmazur1]

@TreuBlauPreussin The Finns have a phrase for this sort of person...Tulta Munile!!

@unserdeutschland the german version sounds a lot better than the finnish original

I just saw a program for one of the birthday parties of Kaiser Wilhelm II. This was on the music program! : ) They had "oxtail soup, brown bread from Helgoland, beef Rouladen with fresh vegetables, and goose liver mixed with other delicacies" for dinner!

[Erkele]

Hakkaa päälle pohjan Poika!

[raippaluoto]

haccapelita king gustav 2 adolf right hand long live king gustav 2 adolf big soldier

[jompadompa]

Everytime I hear this march I get the goosebums. It's a swedish march dedicted to the brave finnish cavalry that were the right hand of king Gustavus Adolphus in the 30 years war in Germany. Long live the swedish/finnish brotherhood!

[jammu25]

Engång till sveriga och engång till finland!

[ILickGlue]

Länge leve Finska Rytteriet och Ldk som alltid spelar den :D

[raippaluoto]

this marsh is finnish military marsh

200 years

[MrSchweden]

This isnt a German march but a Swedish/Finnish march from the times of the Swedish empire and dedicated to the Hakkapeliittas.

[Kuhlfurst]

Beautiful.. One of the best.

[HayabusaSenToTai]

This, together with the Hohenfriedbergermarsch are THE best marches in the world ever, ok that and our warship march! :P

[Laqez]

Leve våra finska bröder!

[Speermann]

jawoll

[wander4lust]

@Laqez Och våra svenska bröder också!

[marcusantonius90]

@Laqez Död åt den ryska förtryckare!

[torhjelm]

Great version! This is one of the oldest preserved military marches in Europe.

[Gwahlur]

Danke sehr für diese echt geniale Version! Habe es schon als einen Favorite bemerkt!

Aber ich habe es auch immer gedacht dass dieser Marsch eigentlich Finnisch (oder Schwedisch) ist, nicht Deutsch. Die Melodie ist sehr alt, von dem Zeitalter des Dreissigjährigen Krieges, aber der Text hat Zacharias Topelius in 1872 geschrieben.

[alikkiiski]

This isn't German military march. Haccapelittas slaughtered Germans in 30 years war.

[raippaluoto]

hakkaa päälle!!!!

[JSLegoMaster]

Jehha!!! haka suomi!

[raippaluoto]

very nice !
