Wo Alle Straßen Enden*

@@mlgmylittlegaben3763 das scharfe s ist erst seit der Rechtschreibreform in "Strasse" zu finden.

yeah but all but the first verse is different to the other ones he made

​@@maxsteinlechner6085 "Strasse" ließt sich aber komisch, denke immer an Trasse dabei

Mrdoge that's not how you use those words you imbecile

Are there accounts from German soldiers who made it back to Germany, perhaps even wrote about it? This is such an unknown part of history - I would really like to know more about it!

Des Reiches letztes Aufgebot

@@mathiaspoelman1493 Peter Scholl-Latour was a famous German Journalist who did fight with the French in the First Indochina War. Later he also reported from the Vietnam War and was captured by the Vietcong. His book "Death in the Rice Fields" is about his experiences.

@@theodorkorner1497 Thank you so much!

Karl Sternau, I never knew that. I honor and respect all those brave Germans who volunteered to go and help the French over in French Indochina.

Your additional lyrics deep, Karl!

hold up

Ich will und will nicht wissen was passiert ist

rule 34

Das ist eine Copypaste aus manchem deutschen Gesetz. So was ähnliches steht geschrieben in den Nutzbedingungen für die Internetverbinding in der Goethe-Institut Bibliothek.

As a French, I am pleased there was no French officer in Russia XD

Cause i can ;)

@@KarlSternauok this might be a strange request, but could you do this song in Yiddish?

insallah

This song is about the Germans in the French Foreign Legion during the Indochina war. Still vietnam tho so ur not wrong

They were probably there in the 60s as hospital staff. European involvement in Vietnam was comparatively minimal after 1954

Fun fact a lot of Legionnaires in the 50s were former german soldiers

Did you get to know their opinion on the Vietnamese they once fought against, especially that one man that was eventually captured at Dien Bien Phu? I'm a Vietnamese, and just curious for others' opinion on things we've gone through. And may those men, regardless of their origin or who they fought for, rest in peace and good macaroni cheese.

Again, all but the original first verse are different lyrics and the added context is also very insightful

Or if Karl makes a WW2 version, and it should make reference to the first world war, like how this one refers to the second world war.

@@libzbond Oh yes, that should work. After all, there were Germans who survived or at least fought in both world wars

I will try it later😉

Interesting to see you here

mein Vater beichtete mir mal , das er nach dem Krieg auch nicht mehr wusste was er machen sollte in Deutschland .Er kam aus russischer Kriegsgefangenschaft zurück und wurde im " Reich" nicht mit Blumen empfangen . Da wollte dahin wo seine "Fähigkeiten" noch respektiert werden . naja!

@@rudolfk.5124 Ich kann es nur von hören sagen nach erzählen , der Opa eines Freundes von mir ist nach der Kriegsgefangenschaft auch zur Legion gegangen. Er war danach Alkoholiker total verstört und aggressiv dazu. Der Mann hat wohl nie drüber gesprochen aber man kann es sich wohl denken .

This is actually the original version of the song.

@@fredonline1 It's not. Leclerc was way later than WW1

i like trains

Ok

GOOD JOB

:(

Afaik, this is the original version of the song written in the 60s

what website is it ?

Try duolingo its kind of fun to learn on there not sure if its the best site/ app but its what i use to learn Deutsch/ German.

@@Town_Redacted Thanks very much

@@lxi9648 huh?

That's already the full lyrics

french legion adapted a lot of german ww1 and ww2 marches. because you know why.

For Germans? It was bad because The French were mighty resiliant as were The Germans. Both were entrenched heavily and both would send wave after wave of soldiers into brutal battles, creating a giant human slaughterhouse that would.not.make.any.progress. People make fun of France for their failure at WW2 but they were the greatest rival to The Germans in WW1.

@@ra.n9482 ermm this song version is about the vietnam war i think

The song is “Wo Alle Straßen Enden”, only this version is about the German soldiers who served in the French Foreign Legion during the Indochina War.

France and Germany are traditional rivals. After WWII the bitterness of the French towards Germans was common. The men this song is about are post WWII German volunteers to the French Foreign Legion. Service in the Legion is way to escape your past, and by recruiting from POW camps after WWII, there were plenty of men who needed a clean slate. It's not surprising at all the French would treat these men poorly or see them as cannon-fodder like all German POWs were treated after WWII.

@Oskars Meant is the Indochina war. French Vietnam War if u so want. The French Foreign Legion to this time was made of nearly 55% Germans. Thats why the song ins sung in German. There a still today a lot of german Songs in the Foreign Legion, a lot have gotten french lyrics, but some are still sung in german today.

Many ex-Wehrmacht soldiers fought for French Foreign Legion in Indochina, some of them even deserted and joined Vietminh forces

Crack open a book then

Sei doch froh, dass durch Karl solche Lieder auf KZfaq überhaupt hochgeladen werden.

Jap ganz ehrlich, die Stimme ist zwar gut aber passt 0 zu so einem Lied!
