Thank you for your comment. I'm glad to read that this nice old-school soldiers' love song was still remembered in the BW in the '90s.

Ich bin sehr kritisch im Umgang mit Marschliedern der Bundeswehr und der Wehrmacht, aber das Lied habe ich 1994 bei der BW unter (ehemals Fähnrich) Perlitz gelernt und gesungen. Erinnert einen doch an eine tolle Zeit...
DANKE fürs Hochladen!
