SS marschiert in Feindesland was a marching song of the Waffen SS, the paramilitary forces in Nazi Germany.

The marching song that is being chanted by the SS in Fury was SS marschiert in Feindesland.

Description

The lyrics imply the elite status which SS men saw themselves possessing. They are based on patriotic heroism and the mentality of "fighting till death", which was a popular philosophy in Germany during the Third Reich. The lyrics changed as the war went on. Originally they referred to the shores of the river Volga in Russia, later to those of the river Oder on the German-Polish border, where heavy fighting took place in 1945. The lyrics openly declared that the SS would destroy the "Red plague".

As the Waffen SS gradually developed into a multi-ethnic and multi-national force, translated and modified versions were sung by SS men from other countries. Among these were a French version, used by SS Division Charlemagne, a Norwegian version called "På Vikingtokt", and an Estonian version used by members of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking and later 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS called "Pataljon Narwa Laul" ("The Song of Battalion Narwa"). It was also the marching song for the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian).

After the end of the Second World War, the song also found its way into the French Foreign Legion and is still sung today in a version with slightly different and translated lyrics as "La Legion marche vers le front". A version sung by the Brazilian Air Force is also known.

Lyrics in German

SS marschiert in Feindesland, Und singt ein Teufelslied. Ein Schütze steht am Wolgastrand, Und leise summt er mit. Wir pfeifen auf Unten und Oben, Und uns kann die ganze Welt Verfluchen oder auch loben, Grad wie es ihnen gefällt. Wo wir sind da geht's immer vorwärts, Und der Teufel der lacht nur dazu! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Wir kämpfen für Deutschland, Wir kämpfen für Hitler, Der Rote kommt nie mehr zur Ruh'.(x2) Wir kämpften schon in mancher Schlacht, In Nord, Süd, Ost und West. Und stehen nun zum Kampf bereit, Gegen die rote Pest. SS wird nicht ruh'n wir vernichten, Bis niemand mehr stört Deutschlands Glück. Und wenn sich die Reihen auch lichten, Für uns gibt es nie ein Zurück. Wo wir sind da geht's immer vorwärts, Und der Teufel der lacht nur dazu! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Wir kämpfen für Deutschland, Wir kämpfen für Hitler, Der Rote kommt nie mehr zur Ruh'.(x2)

Lyrics in English

SS marches in enemies land, And sings a devil's song. A rifleman on Volga's beach, Silently hums along. We care about nothing around us, And the whole world can, Curse or praise us, Just as it pleases. Where we are it always goes forward! And the devil merely laughs, Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! We fight for Germany, We fight for Hitler, The red one(communism) never gets a rest.(x2) We fought before in several fights, In North, South, East and West. And stand now, prepared to fight, Against the red plague. SS will not rest, we annihilate, Until noone disturbs Germany's happiness. And even if our line thins, There is never retreat for us. Where we are it always goes forward! And the devil merely laughs, Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! We fight for Germany, We fight for Hitler, The red one never gets a rest.(x2)
