“Der Heimliche Aufmarsch” - German Socialist Song

Der Heimliche Aufmarsch is a german anti-capitalist, socialist song, preformed by Ernst Busch. This song basically says that the capitalists and fascists are forcing them to attack the soviet union and that they must resist. It became popular in the early thirties.

I do not promote or necessarily agree with this ideology, this is simply a record of historical music.


English Lyrics:

There is a whisper going around the world
Worker, don't you hear it?‎
These are the voices of the war ministers!
Worker, don't you hear them?‎
Coal and steel producers are whispering
Chemical warfare production is whispering
The whisper comes from all continents:‎
„Mobilization against the Soviet Union!‎“

Workers, peasants, pick up the rifles
Take those guns into your hands!
Annihilate the fascist bandit armies
Set your heart ablaze!‎
Plant your red banners of labor
On еvery acre, on evеry factory!
Then shall arise from the ruins of the old society
The Socialist World Republic!

Workers, hearken, they are going to war
And they shout for nation and race!
This is the war of the rulers of the world
Against the working class!‎
Because the assault against the Soviet Union
Is the thrust into the heart of the revolution.‎
And the war that sweeps through the countries now,‎
Is the war against you, proletarian!‎

Workers, peasants, pick up the rifles
Take those guns into your hands!
Annihilate the fascist bandit armies
Set your heart ablaze!‎
Plant your red banners of labor
On every acre, on every factory!
Then shall arise from the ruins of the old society
The Socialist World Republic!
