The German U-boat crew sings the song as they start patrolling in the North Atlantic ocean to disturb convoy traffic to England, (morale is then boosted in the boat) in the World War II film Das Boot. The crew also sing it as they cruise toward home port after near disaster.
This song originated from Britain.It was popularised by the Connaught Rangers as they marched through Boulogne on 13 August 1914, witnessed by Daily Mail correspondent George Curnock, and reported on 18 August 1914. It was then picked up by other soldiers in the British Army. In November 1914 it was recorded by John McCormack, which helped contribute to its world-wide popularity.
The song shown in this video is done by the Russian army choir.The original is in English.Enjoy :-)

Just mind-boggling that we have a Russian Army choir singing one of the most-popular WW I marching songs. They do a superb job at it, but where are the Brit/Irish or other English-speaking choirs? I heard this in 1954 (when I was 9). It was sung by an Irish choir A CAPELLA and there wasn't a dry eye in the house (Boston Garden). As a kid, I could not---absolutely NOT stay in my seat during this performance. A bunch of us got up and tried to march around! :')

I'm confused why are Russian's singing an Irish song?
-

-
@paddy25c and they Russian are Slavs not Celtic as well btw
-
@paddy25c The Russians are Irish except the they drink Vokdka instead of Wiskey and are Otherdox Christans not Catholics

@Irishmermaid96 Because this song was a song of Red Army ally I remember it And you?
-
@Irishmermaid96 because they are good at it!
-
@Irishmermaid96 because even the russians want to be irish
-
@Irishmermaid96 For the record, the song's British, not just Irish (Doubt the Irish would mock themselves like that anyway, so probably English).
