Military Marches, shanties and chants

[Buba]

Preussen Gloria+goosestep is a category of its own. One can skip to 0:40 to get straight to the knickers-dampening sound of hobnails smashing against the pavement following the command "Passo de marcha!":

And there is a well known Italian song - which I naughtily interpret to be about running away from unplanned fatherhood after a night of passion by slinking away at dawn by claiming to go and die fighting the enemy, i.e. Farewell, Hottie:

Catholic Song from Vandea:

Germans have marches for everything. Seriously, they do.



For music...



For soldiers...



For light infantry...





For comrades...

... and even for virus hunters...

A march for every occasion, occupation, historical event, and probably even every brick and village. If you want a full collection of such marches, then head on over to Dr. Ludwig's channel...

What I've shown you is just the tip of the German march iceberg. They have marches for everything or enough that the difference is semantic in nature.

And as we are supposed to be a sci fi board, try this one ...

I never said it has to he Real military

Wow.

I can actually picture the sailors of the Imperial Navy clinking their flagons together in the mess hall as their mighty Star Destroyer tears a hole into hyperspace.

Quite a badass and humanising moment for the Empire, hence why it would never be put to screen.

We Are Leaving by Gruppa Kaskad


From once subdued celestial peaks,
By increments, descending to the charred ground,
Through the sighted-in solvos of slander, and lies,
We are leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving ...

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
Who we were in this distant land,
Let them not judge biasedly,
They, the desk scholars.

Goodbye, Afghanistan - this ghostly world,
It is not right to speak kindly of you,
But there is something sad battle commander,
We are leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving ...

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
What was our pain and our glory,
How will you, land of Afghanistan,
Atone for the tears of mothers.

We are no longer destined to return,
How many of us were killed on this long campaign,
And it was not fully completed yet, but,
We are leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving ...

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
What price was paid here to the,
Enemy, that is not finished off,
What of friends were left behind.

Friend, a spirited (drink) ration shared by three,
So many of us survived in the rapid recon battalion,
The third round - even the wind died down on the slopes,
We are leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving ...

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
What we had, what we gave,
Our hope and sorrow,
How to live amongst the people.

Our biographies are in half a dozen lines,
Sociologists condensed, they are now in vogue,
The East just isn't submissive to science.
We are leaving The East, leaving, leaving...

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
Who we were in this distant land,
Let them not judge biasedly,
They, the desk scholars.

Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,
What price was paid here to the
Enemy, that would not be subdued.
What of friends left behind.

We are leaving The East.
We are leaving The East.
Leaving...

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet



I must admit as well that I find the Horst Wessel Lied a bit rousing even though its for a regime that is distinctly dodgy.

Interestingly, on the tumbnail picture they plastered Strayan flag over the Russian soldier.
