You have the chance to sue Youtube, because unlike some gossips say, Youtube has to obey national laws, also the laws for the freedom of speech and arts. If you got a strike you should contact TeamYoutube on Twitter with the URL of your video to check it
have no effect on the bot, only the audio matters Pictures, disclaimers, fake titles, comments etc. Even if one of those songs survives on another channel, it is no guarantee that the bot won't strike you or even terminate your whole channel Don't upload any songs from the 1930s, even songs with harmless lyrics which are not even illegal in Germany can be a target such as: Erika, Rosemarie or Es war ein Edelweiß or older songs which were popular in that time, such as Wenn die Soldaten, Im Wald im grünen Walde (Lore Lore) or Es zittern die morschen Knochen and the Engellandlied. What do you have to consider when uploading historical German songs?įrom our experience and testing on Youtube you have to consider the following: I will upload them step by step on alternate platforms tho. This is why many beautiful gems of German song history can't be uploaded on my channel anymore.
We tried to contact TeamYoutube on Twitter, but they didn't help either. On the other hand, Youtube itself autogenerates so called "various artists" channels, where they upload the worst hardcore nazi songs from the SS and SA without any moderation. The thing is, while we could understand, that Youtube strikes real political nazi songs, they also strike much older folk songs, only because they were popular in ww2, such as "Wenn die Soldaten" from 1839 and songs with no political lyrics, where you just sing about girls and the forest, such as "Im Wald im grünen Walde". They also never tell us which songs they see as hatespeech, so we just had to guess them by getting strikes. Very soon dozens of history and historical music channels were deleted for the silly term "hatespeech" and complaints were never answered properly. Youtube then contacted several NGOs such as the controversial "Antonio Amadeu Stiftung", a leftradical organisation and maybe even our foreign minister Heiko Maas who released the so called "Netzwerkdurchsuchungsgesetz". In the summer of 2019 Youtube released a new policy against "hatespeech", mostly because of pressure and new laws from the EU, especially Germany. Information about our struggle with Youtube The Norwegian Worker's Song Hemmeleg oppmarsj (English: "Secret March") also uses the same melody.If you want the raw song and picture files of my collection, check these links:Īll songs: SONGS (if you need a key use several times: KLNyNLLqDORqRGs-j_34JA) In 1957, the song was rewritten to suit the Cold War under the name Der offene Aufmarsch (English: "The Open Deployment"), sung by the National People's Army in the German Democratic Republic. The most famous version is the 1938 remake with a new arrangement by Hanns Eisler, which can be heard at Communist Party rallies from that point forward. In 1931, Ernst Busch sang a version of the song at the end of the film Hell on Earth by Victor Trivas.
In 1930, Wladimir Vogel composed music to it, and there is one extant recording of this original melody with Weinert himself providing the vocals.
