“Erika” is the marching song used by the German army. Composed/published by Herms Niel in 1938 it quickly came into use by the Nazi’s despite the lyrics having no political content.
It is funny how “Erika” is associated with Nazis so much when it doesn’t have any political lyrics, while “Wir Sind Des Geyers Schwarzer Haufen” is not known at all when it was both used by Nazis and have very political lyrics. Although it was written way before and used by East Germany as well.

It is, but it was pretty obviously a song for men who are away from the girl they love. To keep spirits up. It mentions how she'll be faithful and stuff. Pretty standard marching song busyness
only funny thing is in the song it says: "there's a flower that blooms, it's named Erika, with thousands of little bees, buzzing around her, then a sweet scent coming from her robe." It's just a fun piece of dark humour for those associating the song with Nazi marching.
@@moamber1 I love that song, and Im "singing" it now and then, noone has called me a communist bexause of it :D but I got called a nazi because I randomly just said "Eeeerika"
@@alexderbeste5770 It was specifically composed for Nazis by a Hitler worshipper in 1938 fitting Nazi propaganda patterns. If it's not clicking, check your values.

@@lkartemis812 Germany has laws against promoting National - Socialist ideology. They apply them to literally everything without distinction - the rotated manji got replaced in Wolfenstein (a game where the main objective is killing Nazis).
@@cymes82 Yes, there are laws against the promotion of it but historical reenactment, documentaries, discussions and also satire, which that video would probably fall under, are fine. It doesn't apply to literally everything without distinctions, that's bs.

I thought he was talking about "Was wollen wir trinken", which is often credited as the Luftwaffe anthem, even though it was written by a Dutch band and decades after WWII.
The English translation of the song is On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Eagerly a hundred thousand little bees, swarm around, Erika. For her heart is full of sweetness, a tender scent escapes her blossom-gown. On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Back at home, there lives a little maiden and she's called : Erika. That girl is my faithful little darling and my joy, Erika! When the heather blooms in a reddish purple, I sing her this song in greeting. On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. In my room, there also blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Already In the grey of dawn, as it does at dusk, It looks at me, Erika! And it is as if it spoke aloud: "Are you thinking of your fiancée?" Back at home, a maiden weeps for you and she's called : Erika! It is just a German marching song. I'm tired of morons assuming things, it's a nice song. Most german songs are very similar to this, there are fairly few nazi German songs.
Also welche Nazi Musik klasse singt es also keine normale da es in 99% der Fälle wenn du es nur anmachst für Strafgesetzbuch (StGB) § 130 Volksverhetzung ziemlich hart in den arsch genommen wirst da wir da so ein paar Gesetze haben die nazis nicht gerne sehen und als die Minderheit das ganze noch trauriger macht 😅😅😅
