Ich hatt' einen Kameraden

Ich hatt' einen Kameraden,
Einen bessern findst du nit.
Die Trommel schlug zum Streite,
Er ging an meiner Seite
|: In gleichem Schritt und Tritt. :|

Eine Kugel kam geflogen:
Gilt's mir oder gilt es dir?
Ihn hat es weggerissen,
Er liegt vor meinen Füßen
|: Als wär's ein Stück von mir :|

Will mir die Hand noch reichen,
Derweil ich eben lad'.
"Kann dir die Hand nicht geben,
Bleib du im ew'gen Leben
|: Mein guter Kamerad!" :|

whats all this crap about whos country is better than everyone else anyone and I mean anyone who takes the queens shilling or their equivelent and goes and gets killed deserves to be remembered by their comrades thats what this song is about please try and remember it and cut out the abuse

[Condeycon]

Why does everyone attach a Nazi affiliation to this song? It's an integral part of the German military. It was around before Hitler corrupted Germany and it'll be around long into the future. This song wasn't made for the SS and I'd say most german soldiers wouldn't appreciate part of their history being lumped in with those murderous fanatics.

This song was written in 1809! and had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NAZI's! this is strictly a SONG based on a Poem for SOLDIERS! It was written during the war with Napoleon! to associate this song with Criminals is disgraceful and insults the memory of men who fought for and died in service to Germany!

Beautiful song! I had a tears in my eyes when i first heard it. I have to say, that this song have nothing to do with Nazi regime, this is German patriotic song, written and composed after World war I.
