BW Panzerlied

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

While helping my wife with one of her customers collection/deliveries, I met a rather nice bloke, when we went again to deliver the finished item he rather kindly gifted me this scroll with the words of the song which they still use today.  Turns out he is quite high up in the BW, Lt Gen Jacobson and he knows a few of my old bosses as well.  He is a thoroughly nice bloke and very down to earth.  His wife is lovely too she is an ex British Officer, quite unusual for them to have married but a nicer couple you would struggle to find.

I just need a nice frame now and to get it on the wall.  As an aside there are a lot of versions of this catchy tune on youtube, I have not found a version with the 3rd verse being sung yet!

Intresting.

Love the song! Never heard any of the next 3 verses. Only the first, over and over again

VERY NICE!  In 1963, West German units at Wildflecken often sang traditional songs while marching.  One of those songs, as I recall, was named Erika.

Hello Jock.

Thanks for posting this. I see the words have not changed since we sang it before 1945.

Cool. Try Youtube. Look up "Girls and Panzer:  Panzerleid". 

[IrishGunner]

Oh, man, you had to bring up Girls and Panzers again, didn't you?

[Jock Auld]

Looks to be 5 verses!

Hello Jock.

Reading the lyrics now I believe the first two verses is what we sang. After those it becomes too serious.....
