Marsch des Yorck'schen Korps

March in Military Band and Guard Battailon of the German Federal Armed Forces.

Music: Marsch des Yorck'schen Korps or Yorckscher Marsch or The March for Military Band No.1 in F major (studio recording)
Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven in 1808

Ludwig van Beethoven's "Yorkscher Marsch" is named in honor of Prussian General Ludwig Graf Yorck von Wartenburg.
This ceremony is a several hundred years old prussian military tradition and has nothing to do with "Nazis" from Third Reich or ww2.

I'm sorry, you can`t buy a proper DVD of this!

I agree and as a young soldier visiting your lovely ancient towns and villages I saw great evidence of age and tradition. I have respect for Germans generally, and for the country and traditions. Greetings from England.

They're going on tour; first stop Poland in September, second is Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and France; and the last show is in Russia

So awesome! Military tradition is still a tradition worth preserving, especially when married to democracy and freedom as in Germany :D

[Heisestyle]

And we still have it! ;)

@ZackMyslinski What about UK ?

@horselips alright sir, right on it. lol

[horselips]

@Blindanddumb Thanks for the update on that. But still, just to guarantee that we have magnificent Germans for the future, please knock up your women! Get that birthrate back up!. (Try it - it's FUN.)

@horselips black uniforms where worn by the ss. the colour of the german army is grey, and has been so since prussian times.

@horselips since several years already the trend has chanced: more turks move from germany to turkey then the other way around. so necessarily every calculation to the year 2040 has so change aswell, and will do so many times more until that year.

btw, in turkey they are considered to be german.

@soschautesaus I agree there's nothing wrong with immigrants -my country (USA) was built by immigrants - but only by legal & fully assimilated imigrants. They DIDN'T bring an incompatible religion & they didn't try to force that religion's evil laws on the existing culture. Muslim majorities always bring Sharia Law. The demographic fact of Germany's (& Europe's) irretrievably declining birthrate spells disaster for German culture, & the very existence of the German people. Start making babies!

Impressive work and incredible discipline. A sign of how hard working and honest a nation Germany is. Cheers for the professional display by our German allies. Es Lebe Deutschland und Deutsch Soldaten! Es Lebe Deutschland und USA!

A "Yank."
