Song about the peasant revolt against the church and nobles in 1524.
Florian Geyer was a German nobleman who sided with the peasants during the war and acted as their negotiator, he also helped organize their army as well as their battle strategies. With his own money he deployed a unit of about 100 men. The unit's name was "Black Unit" or "Black Company"

Deserves more attention, because this is the first time I it has an actual explaination and not a nazi background.

Funnily, the song, being composed in 1920 (and even though I know it relates to the old medieval times and not 1920 itself), the grandchildren mentioned would be in a divided capitalist-communist Germany, to "put up a better fight". Kind of a funny prediction, to some extent.

It uses the tune of Szara Piechota which was probally written either during or just after the Great war

This is such a great song, I sure hope it doesn't get co-opted by genocidal maniacs.

Schutzstaffel wasn't the combat branch of the party it was the Waffen SS and it was under the OKW during war time. Nationale Volksarmee didn't commit genocide as it had no chance to fortunately. Though the Stasi could be blamed for genocide and anti-jewish progroms just like the Soviet Union@@MotzKotz3

No. They don’t sound alike either. Szara Piechota shares a melody with a famous Romanian song though, so maybe I’m just used to listening to that and can’t break the connection
