Yes, one would think so. Your comments made me investigate....Here is waht I came across: The March was popularized by the House of Hanover and was brought to Britain by Dutch and German influences...*The melody was introduced into Britain as a military march during the 1689-1702 reign of William III and has similarities with one written for Prince John William of Friesland (1687-1711). Henry Grattan Flood suggested as another candidate the 1672 Dutch march "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe", which in turn was a reworking of a French version from 1568.*
They would have heard far more than just the British Grenadiers and up until the peace treaty all the American Colonists were still British until the new American Nationality was established.
Beautiful! Huge respect to these guys for playing such an incredible version of the British Grenadiers! And with that German touch of discipline and military tradition, it just makes the whole thing *even better*
Some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander and such great names as these But of all the worlds brave heroes there's none who can compare With a tow row row row row row to the British grenadiers Those heroes of antiquity never saw a cannon ball Or knew the force of powder to slay there foes withal But our brave boys do know it and banish all there fears With a tow row row row row row to the British grenadiers When'ere we are commanded to storm the palisades Our leaders march with fuses and we with hand grenades We throw them from the glacis about the enemies ears With a tow row row row row row to the British grenadiers And when the seige is over we to the town repair The townsmen cry "Hurrah boys, here come the grenadiers!" "Here come the grenadiers my lads who know no doubts or fears" Then sing tow row row row row to the British grenadiers Then let us fill a bumper and drink the health of those Who carry caps and pouches and wear thy loúped clothes May they and their commanders live happy all their years With a tow row row row row row to the British grenadiers!
I had no idea this was played by German musicians, but when the bells came about I had a feeling some German element was involved. What an awesome production. I absolutely loved it. Greetings from the US.

"Some speak of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these. But of all the world's brave heroes, there's none that can compare. With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers!"
The Zulu warriors were excellent fighters who had taken over much territory. Bad generalship by Chelmsford led to the massacre of the 24th South Warwickshire regiment of foot, minus one company at rourkes drift.
Would have been nice if this group wore period uniforms either Prussian from the years of 1736 thru 1810 or British uniforms of that same period. What most people do not realize is that The Prussians and the English has a common bond in their rulers. The English Parliament had enough of the Stuarts and so sought to get a new ruling family into the throne and so they went to the House of Hanover and thus was born the thrones of George 1st, George 2nd and George 3rd. Even Adolf Hitler was an Anglophile and didn't want a war with Great Britain.
Yes very true .The Kaiser was related to Queen Victoria. Germany was on good terms with England , and For all his later faults Hitler admired the English.
Speaking German! I very much doubt it. We had millions of indians and Africans to conscript if we wanted to but we kept it voluntary in the colonies. You forget that most British are Anglo Saxons and English is a West Saxon Language. The Guals kept the Roman Legions on their toes and even prevented them from occupying what they called Hibernia. The Brigantes tribe of Northern England also caused the Legions far more trouble than even the people of Judea or the Germanic tribes. The RAF defeated the Deutsch Luftwaffe and the Griegsmarine was too small. The Royal Navy fr too big and no land invasion would have been possible without a large Navy and competent Air Force. Many very brave men on all sides, but the result would have been the same though without America and USSR it would have taken until 1950 and beyond to win. The Italians and Germans in Africa had many nations troops facing them, British, Nepalese, Indian, Australian, New Zealander, South African, Palestinian(Jews), Polish, French, Belgian, and other assorted nations. A good mostly clean fight without the Axis forces murdering innocent civilians and competent generals on both sides. After the war, the allies did not strutt around bullying and murdering the German population. They set about de natzification and restoring democracy. The tommies and jocks were not vindictive and nor was GI Joe. The Germany economy was allowed to grow and prosper and rather than be the masters they let you self govern and assisted in preventing the madness and cruelty of communism from taking over Europe. The Tommies and Jocks have gone home now and their politicians are in the process of dismantling their armed forces( Must be taking back handers from Czar Vlad the 1st of all the Ruskies) Totalitarinism disguised as democracy, reins in Russia today and poses a threat to real freedom such has we are allowed to experence it in the west. The tommies never lost when fighting with other allies against German states along side other German states, prior to Germany becoming a nation in 1870. Britain was a nation for 1200 years before then.
I was watching a TV prog last week of war diary's written by ordinary German women .It struck me strange when on seeing British troops occupying her village , one wrote ....We were so glad to see the English soldiers occupying our village. Hard to imagine anyone being glad to see the victors , but I am guessing she was meaning she was glad it was not Russian troops.
Sadly my Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors were probably Hessian deserters since that Franz Family still lives in Americay yet still owns an original Hessian token now owned by my Uncle. That is if they weren't already yanks.

I can't see any soldiers in that video? But there are British soldiers playing German marches like Coburger - why not? Both countries are allied and have beautiful marches
Nett gespielt, aber das zu spielen grenzt für mich an kulturelle Aneignung. Auftreten und Aufmachung lassen allerdings zu wünschen übrig. Uniform heißt Uniform, weil alle gleich aussehen sollten. Von der Leggins bis zur Stoffhose alles dabei, teils Turnschuhe, Stabführer mit sichtbarem Pullunder unter der Uniform. Stabführung auch deutlich verbesserungswürdig.
これ何の服装かわかる方がいたら教えてほしいです！ 何の団体なのか、 何かの作品に登場する架空の服装なのか、 はたまた軍服なのか、 またいつ頃の服を再現したものだ、などなど 分かる範囲で結構ですのでお願いします！ Please tell me what clothes do they wear in the video. In other word, I want to know what group use the uniform.
In May 1945 the tommies came not as conquerors but as liberators from a extremely evil and corrupt regime of dangerous psychopaths and to restore democracy to Germany.
My Dad lived to 99 .He died 3 years ago .He was awarded the Legion d Honneur medal because he was there on D day 6th June 44 . The medal was instigated by Napoleon in 1803 for services to France.I am very proud to have that medal . In fact last oct I had the chance to go up in a 1944 ww2 spitfire .I took the medal up with me .

Desert Rat you can join the Spielmannszug if you live in Germany a lot of villages have their own rifle club (in German schützen) but they are no soldiers it’s like a volunteer thing and every year there is a rifle club Festival when it is they shoot and the rifleman who shoots the best score is the new champion marksman and you can even join when you are 12 years or so
Ja, das weis ich. Ich meinte auch die Bundeswehr, aber die Uniformen sind doch fast gleich? Und ich versteh das es hier ein Verein betrifft. Wir kennen das auch in die Niederlande; de schutterij. Aber viel wichtiger ein Deutsche Kappelle spielt die British Grenadiers March… Wie schon ein Vereintes Europa sein kann.Und entschuldigung fur mein Deutsch.
