early era? the hand doesnt move as high as late era. I personally take this drill the best verion, the hand tidened but doesnt wave as high as in soviet drills, and of course the goose step is absolutely amazing.

by hand tidened I mean not forming a blade shape

@@Jasminsamb dude he means the steps not the hand. The goosestep is still german but the shoulder swing is definitely soviet style.

and, the nva parade formation uses soviet style (a tight square line without people carrying swords in the far right row) with a prussian goose step(the feet are lifted first before walking, unlike the soviets where the feet have to take a step as far as possible) even though the hands are soviet style (first row formation when nva carries daggers(?) when they haven't done a salute (I don't know what's the name) to the honecker f:goose step nva is getting lower every year

I'm not sure I recalled this correctly but there was speak of abolishing the Prussian style marching and going full Soviet but the German military leaders said that the German march music was too fast for Soviet/Russian style marches.

Definitely the essence of German military tradition on display.

Good thing that shithole "country" has been terminated. For ever.

Absolutely. The Bundeswehr is a yawn fest with drill being the least of their problems. Self-Defeat and Self-Hatred never does yield positive results.

That's awesome! How did the military band sound? Do you remember?

@@MaximusandHistory awww I wish there had been the military band. We got to the Neu Wache just prior to the guard changing. We went inside to take a look. Then outside they marched along from inside a big old building, and conducted the guard change. Their build & the smartness of their uniforms were what really impressed me. The precision of their drill was impeccable. And I distinctly remember thinking(as just a wee lad) are these the type of men we will have to fight 🤣 It wasn’t a confident thought

@@anthonywalsh7613 I've had so many former NATO soldiers leave comments on my videos explaining how they were somewhat distraught by the precision of the NVA and that they would have to potentially fight them in a theoretical war. What's interesting is that NATO rated the NVA as the most combat ready, well trained and disciplined army in the entire Warsaw Pact!

@@MaximusandHistory interesting that mate. When you see it close up it brings it home much more. Plus we were issued with information (pamphlets) explaining the capabilities

probably there are some brainwashed(by soviets) east germans want it

@@borakaraca9788 but I have some mates who were born a decade after and they were born in what used to be east Germany and they joke about it all the time. It’s gone on so long that I if I ask them if they actually want it or not then il just be embarrassed. I’ve never met their parents as they are still in Germany so I don’t know if they had an effect on them. On another note funnily enough I’m learning German at Uni and my “study budy” is a Pole who’s indifferent to the Soviets. He was born in a soviet built hospital, taught in a soviet built school, played sports in soviet era sport facilities. He didn’t care much for politics, only what the effect is on the people and from photos he had seen prior to the Soviets, he wouldn’t be in a foreign university today as there was nothing in the area to give him opportunities, there wasn’t even a local school.

No, even majority of them favour reunification back in 80s. Only hardcore communist loyal to Soviet did, ordinary Germans did not. This is easy to understand for those Communist because when Germany reunify, they will be put on trial and would not have a place in a new society. I dont even know such meme exist on Internet

@@kiennguyenanh8498 I asked them and they said that their feelings are similar to the discontent the north of Britain has for the south of Britain.

@@proleterriert8075 You need to know that their country had been divided for 40 years with nearly no interaction. The alien and distant feeling can be understand. This feeling even stronger when the wall was built. Same thing happened to North and South Germany during Reformationu

It might come as heartbreaking news to you, but they didn't move it anywhere, and that's because the changing of the guard ceremony is no longer a thing since 1990! The Bundeswehr does not continue the tradition of the Großer Wachaufzug unfortunately.

@@MaximusandHistory Thank you for this information. I personally visited the Neue Wache in 2019 and I knew the Chancellor still places a wreath to the victims but was not aware that the Wachaufzug ceremony was discontinued.

@@ernestkhalimov1007 They still send guards on state visits, but yeah, sadly this tradition has been discontinued.

@@MaximusandHistory Duly noted

They marched in the German military fasion,which goes back well before the Nazis came to power.

Not sure, mostly likely 1970's.

@@MaximusandHistory Probably the early 70's. The soldiers are still wearing their collared uniforms.

@Sanctus Paulus 1962 It is a joke, when you're in denial of something on the internet that you clearly and everyone clearly know what happened/what existed/..., you say "I totally didn't do this/that"

It is also similar to the Reichswehr of the German Republic of Weimar, so what? It's just German/Prussian traditions that despite the kind of the regime that at any time rules over the German Reich, the traditions were followed (excluding the most un-german state, the Federal Republic of Germany)

Super? 🤮🤮🤮

@@agorazontas5894 What's your problem??

@@mariafrost1762 My problem is the fact of remembrance on Leibstandarte by East German military, the militarism of GDR regime, history falsification of GDR regime and the glorification of GDR.

@@agorazontas5894 Nobody was referring to the GDR or National Socialism.

@@agorazontas5894 can i ask something what is it whit the west and east fighting and i DONT! think they would no matter how much they get brainwashed fight against their own friends familys etc!

Because communism requires tearing down of traditions because traditions are seen as oppressive in Marxist ideology.

Así era el cambio de guardia en la cancillería de Hitler. Busca los videos aca mismo. Ellos mantuvieron la tradición mientras que Alemania Federal la sepulto.

i think this is sped up

Probably has more to do with the poor acoustics of the street than anything. Also when it’s only 2 bars of something played like this it’s often pretty bad. May 9 parade the band always sounds terrible because it’s just pausing the band every 250’ the minister of defense stops to review a unit lol

This is due to the poor audio quality, in real life the performance would sound great.

@@agorazontas5894 It would be incomplete without the Germans. Because they are the best at it.

@@KillerofWestoids The FRG did well by disclaiming militarism, military traditions and rituals. Them are the roots of 2 WW, fascism, antisemitism and holocaust. Prussian traditions should be exstinct forever.

Really? Pretty sure that's a commie song originating in Russia

The SED is at fault for industry mismanagement, spying on the own people and to see every critic as an attack. The people had already enough before Gorbachev came for a visit. The alternative history would have been a civil war.

GDR would fall regardless if Chinese helped or not. Their socialist economy would not be able generate enough taxes to support all the social programmes and inefficient industry.
