A contribution that Germany made to international music in the past deservedly received wide recognition. Many outstanding artists end of XVIII century were Germans. German Lied (song) has become almost as important as the symphony. The three greatest German composers who lived at the beginning of XIX century - Mendelssohn, Schumann and Richard Wagner - had a tremendous impact on the entire world of music. But for some reason the most recognizable and popular among other military music nowadays became German military marches and songs After Hitler took control over Germany, media and the arts also were put under control of propaganda minister. Thou controlled less. The Nazi government promoted Wagner's music, since he was favorite Hitler's composer. Works of many other composers were banned because of Jewish origin. "Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles ..." "Germany, Germany above all ...",""Das Lied der Deutschen", which became the national anthem of united Germany after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-701. Written in 1841 by German poet Hoffmann von Fallerslebenom (1789-1874). During the Third Reich, Nazi propaganda used this hymn as a call for the expansion of "living space" for the Germans. But the unofficial anthem for the majority of German soldiers during the Second World War was the song "Lili Marleen". Other German military marches and songs are available for download at this page.
