Unser Rommel

Unser Rommel is a song in honour of Erwin Rommel, well known for it's outstanding leadership and tank commanding skills. While leading the Afrika Korps he earned the nickname 'Wüstenfuchs' or in English 'Desert Fox'.
The images are a mix of Erwin Rommel, German vehicles and troops and a couple of British equipment and generals.

EDIT: For a yet unknown reason the end is cut off, if I can find a solution I will upload a newer improved version of this video.

EDIT II: All Nazi comments, negative or positive will be REMOVED.

Lyrics in German:

Wir sind das deutsche Afrikakorps
Des Führers verwegene Truppe
Wir stürmen wie die Teufel hervor
Versalzen dem Tommy die Suppe
Wir fürchten nicht Hitze und Wüstensand
Wir trotzen dem Durst und dem Sonnenbrand
Marschieren beim Takt unserer Trommel
Vorwärts, vorwärts
|: Vorwärts mit unserem Rommel! :|

Die Briten fürchten uns wie die Pest
Sie sitzen auf glühenden Kohlen
Wir rächen Deutsch-Ost und rächen Südwest
Das einst sie uns feige gestohlen
Sind Churchhill und Roosevelt auch Wut entbrannt
Wir werfen die Feinde in jedem Land
Es schlägt Generalmarsch die Trommel
Voräwrts, vorwärts
|: Vorwärts mit unserem Rommel! :|

Mit uns im Kampf und im Siege vereint
Marschieren Italiens Scharen
Bis einst die Sonne des Friedens uns scheint
Und wieder gen Deutschland wir fahren.
Doch wenn mich die feindliche Kugel fand
So lasset mich ruhen im Wüstensand
Und rühret noch einmal die Trommel
|: Vorwärts mit unserem Rommel :|

Translation of lyrics with many thanks to DeathlyForce!

Translation of verse 1:

We are the German Africa Korps
The Führer's daring troops
We assault like the Devil
Oversalt the Tommy's soup
We fear neither heat nor desert sand
We resist the thirst and the blazing sun
March to the beat of our drum
Forwards, forwards
|:Forwards with our Rommel!:|

Translation of verse 2:

The Brits fear us like the plague
They are on tenterhooks
We revenge German East (Africa) and revenge South-West (Africa)
Which once were dastardly stolen from us
Are Churchill and Roosevelt also inflamed with rage
We beat the enemies in every country
The drum beats 'get ready'Generalmarsch[›]
Forwards, forwards
|:Forwards with our Rommel!:|

Translation of verse 3:
In battle and in victory united with us
Italy's cohorts are marching
Until one day the sun of peace will shine for us
And we will return to Germany.
But if the enemy's bullet meets me
Than let me rest in the desert sand
And beat the drum once again.
Forwards, forwards (disputed line)
|:Forwards with our Rommel!:|

[pwner9999]

@nspboarder, no shit? British M3 Grant tanks. Read the description, also pictures about the war in North-Africa, not just Rommel.

[nspboarder]

@pwner9999 dont need to get all up tight

[pwner9999]

@nspboarder No need to state the obvious.

[the4000class]

where are the ictuers in the video from

[pwner9999]

@the4000class, I got them by searching in Google and the vehicle shots are my own pictures made in the Panzermuseum Munster.

Rommel was a more than an officer, he was a gentleman.

[dikkenerd100]

Rommel wasnt a murder, he did not kill any jews like Hitler wanted.

[Roachenator]

@PETER1069 - don't be silly

[PETER1069]

The greatest General in WW2!

[Kev95682]

Rommel... you magnificent bastard... I read your BOOOOOOK!

[irvinemuscles]

Rommel would of wasted Patton if he had more resources and fuel. Only lost cause he ran out of gas and food to feed troops, otherwise Patton is annihilated.

[mini88me]

In absence of order, find something and kill it. ER

[jrregan]

Rommel would have been a dominate tactician regardless of creed. Unfortunately Europe had the misfortunate luck of Hitler to murder his way to the top. Yearly now they struggle.

[williamwallac94]

Rommel was more than a warrior, he was a great Gentleman. I fear that the World will never see another man like Rommel.

[sandy018]

No- they are not tanks. Just add one 88, and they become American scrap metal.
