Here's a nice record with two of the best known Bavarian marches it was recorded at the end of the Weimar period, remained popular throughout the III Reich and was re-released after WWII as well.

Music: Der Ring des Nibelungen / Composer: Richard WagnerĬonductor: Heeres-Musikinspizient Hermann Schmidt It was basically the main march of the Stahlhelm, even though the official march of the organisation was actually a different composition by Blume, called "Hakenkreuz am Stahlhelm" (march, with the popular song "Kam'rad, reich' mir die Hände" in trio).Įlectrola-EG-2653.jpg (317.02 KiB) Viewed 24869 timesĭedication: Herrn Maximilian von Parseval, Oberst und Commandeur des K.B.
The " Stahlhelm-Bundesmarsch" features the "Stahlhelm-Bundeslied" ("Wohlan, Kam'raden, stimmt mit hellem Schalle.") in trio - a song written by a certain Rückert (a Stahlhelm member) and set to the old and famous "Preußens Vaterland" (Ich bin ein Preuße.) melody by Heinrich August Neithardt (1793-1861) at the end of the trio, Blume additionally mixed the melody with equally famous "Der Gott, der Eisen wachsen ließ" by Albert Methfessel (1785-1869). Unfortunately, it is not known who wrote the lyrics to the trio (opening line: "Franz Seldte, unser Führer."). The march " Franz Seldte!" was dedicated to the co-founder and the leader of Stahlhelm (Franz Seldte, 1882-1947), and it is one of rare early NS marches which were recorded also during WWII (particularly one recording was made in 1942). Both marches also had lyrics written for their trios and thus could have been sang as songs as well however, they were mostly performed as instrumentals, and recorded almost exclusively in 1933 (but the vocal versions of both compositions do exist as well). Although they were first performed already in 1931, they really became popular only after the nazis seized power, in 1933. This record features the two most popular marches of the paramilitary organisation Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten (Steel Helmet, League of Frontline Soldiers), both created by the organisation's leading composer, Hermann Blume (1891-1967). Trio: Stahlhelm-Bundeslied/ Melody: Preußens Vaterland/ Composer: Heinrich August Neithardt/ Lyricist: Rückert (Preußischen) Infanterie-Regiments, Berlin-SpandauĬonductor: Obermusikmeister Adolf Berdien
