I.D. this Nazi song? (It's not the Horst Wessel, that's all I know.)

I just was watching a History Channel documentary on the Hitler Youth the other day, and they happened to play a period clip of German music over some footage.

But, for the life of me, I can’t identify what the music is. I know it’s not the Horst Wessel Song, or the Panzerlied, but that’s the end of my knowledge of WWII German music.

I checked with the mods, and so here is a clip of said music, as a 300k MP3 file. Can anyone here identify it?

Well, thanks for your patience,

(I can only pray that I don’t get the darn thing stuck in my head one day. It’d be more than a little embarrassing to start absent mindedly humming it at the supermarket. :eek: )

I think this might be a song some sources call “The song the HJ” (HJ=Hitlerjugend, male youth organisation, 14 and older) or just “Vorwaerts, vorwaerts!” after one of it’s lines.

Here is a link to the German version of the lyrics:

I havn’t found an English version yet, but here is a very rough translation:

Forward! Forward!
Clangor(?) the fanfares
Youth knows no dangers
Germany, you will stand brightly
if we might perish
Forward! Forward!
Youth knows no dangers
How high the aim might be
Youth achives it anyway

That’s definately it—I found a sound clip of "“Vorwaerts, Vorwaerts!” that’s identical to the documentary song. Thanks!
