Roter Wedding - Unofficial Anthem of the Red Front
Another song translated by Numo Esso, thank you!
Hopefully this one won’t be restricted by Youtube like my previous Red Front video.
Now, I know some people will comment about the “Germany for Germans” line before the last chorus. According to the German Wikipedia, the line was most likely added by Ernst Busch refrencing to the American occupation of West Germany.
The man in the picture is Ernst Thälmann, leader of the Red Front, which was the paramilitary organization of the communist party during the Weimar Republic, before it was banned.
Wedding, a locality in Berlin, was called “Red Wedding“ for its militant, largely Communist working class, where communists and nazis had clashes in the 1920’s.
Lyrics:
Roter Wedding grüßt euch, Genossen,
Haltet die Fäuste bereit!
Haltet die roten Reihen geschlossen,
Dann ist der Tag nicht mehr weit!
Kämpfen wir als Sozialisten
Endlich in einer Front!
