WE'RE GETTING DIVIDED INTO 4 PARTS WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥💯

This is actually really interesting. It’s a song that sums up the confusion and embarrassment, yet unfaltering pride and optimism, of the German people in the wake of WW2 and the Nazi’s collapse. It makes self-deprecating humour of their loss and division by the allied powers, but still aims for Germany to dust itself off and get back up again. Which Germany did, indeed, do.

And this is how Germany became Costa Rica.

Fun fact: Poland also had it's own occupation zone in Germany within the british occupation zone. The occupied zone was just a city - Haren which was named for the occupation time "Maczków" it existed from 1945 to 1948, and later on the old city name was brought back.

It’s a brilliant Cologne Carnival song dealing with the post war situation in the satirical fashion typical for this genre. When the newly formed West German state didn’t yet have an official anthem, it’s first head of government, Konrad Adenauer, a former Cologne mayor, was received on his first state visit to Washington with this Carnival song which he took as a mockery or humiliation. That was actually his motivation in quickly having the third stanza of the old German anthem adopted as the new National anthem of West Germany

Dr. Ludwig, a channel about german classic, patriotic, folk and popular music gives us a bit of context about this song: "As you might know, Germany was divided into four occupation zones after WW2: The French zone (South-West + part of Berlin), the British zone (North-West + part of Berlin), the American zone (South-East + Bremen + part of Berlin) - and the Soviet zone in the east that would later become the German Democratic Republic. From 1945 to 1949, there were only these zones and no fully legitimate German state. But in 1947, the American zone and the British zone were (in some administrative aspects) merged into the so-called "Bizone" to create a more cohesive state-like entity. And in 1948,the French zone (minus the Saarland) was added as well, thereby creating the "Trizone" as a project of cooperation. All three parts of the Trizone were given the same currency, a new German Mark, in June 1948. These were important steps on the road to a new (West) German state, but the Trizone still wasn't a real nation. This song was written by Karl Berbuer, a musician from Cologne (British zone). In 1947, he overheard somebody use the word "Bizonesien" (Bizonesia), a little ironic wordplay to make the Bizone sound like some exotic country. The song was first performed on November 11, 1948 - this is an important date, since November 11 marks the beginning of the German carnival season, the Rhineland and especially Cologne being the biggest hub of it. With its merry melody and ironic text, the song was perfect for the carnival season, as it expressed a certain distance to the war and was meant to encourage listeners to laugh about their own situation, which is exactly what carnival is about. 1948 was the first official carnival season after the war, and many people celebrated in their still destroyed cities. The song quickly became a hit and remained popular well beyond carnival. Since Germany was no official state at that time, it also had no national anthem. Due to the high popularity of this song, it ended up being used as the replacement for a national anthem at various occasions, for example athletic events. Even the occupation powers played the song themselves, although they were mistrustful about it at first, since it was deemed to be a sign of revanchism."

this deserves to be an event song in HOI4 after WW2 (german defeat)

This is honestly now one of my favorite songs, very catchy!

this song should be more well-known. it is such a great song and almost none of the population know of it.

Around a minute in, I find it funny how instead of a Soviet flag in the Soviet occupation zone, it's a National Bolshevik (Nazbol) flag

I've never heard this rendition before it's nice

Every other comment: Normal My comment: This is the Nazi outro

definition of "oopsies"

I have never heard of this before but I quite like it.

Underrated channel

imagine being a German soldier who spent more than three years in the cold on the Soviet front and arriving in Germany in 45-46 and hearing this anthem 💀

wtf?? costa rica takes over germany???

FORGET HORST WESSEL LIED, FORGET KANYE AND CARTI. THIS IS ON FIRE 🗣🗣🎵🎵💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Wieder so ein schönes flottes Lied. Finde ich prima, da kommt man so richtig in Stimmung.

why is this so catchy

This song is so fun and chill❤❤❤ Thanks for it❤

Thanks , German people , for this pretty song❤

First time listening: what and where tf is Trizonesia? Second time listening: Hei-di-tschimmela-tschimmela-tschimmela-tschimmela-bumm!

I like how the Germans have been defeated and are just like “what are you gonna do?”

How the hell do they have an anthem while being occupied? Such a short amount of time and they made an anthem?

It's really beautiful❤

Thank you, this song is so fun and good.❤

UnIronically Fire 🔥🔥🔥

>>tri >Uses the borders of the FOUR occupying powers Trizone is the part that would become west-germany seperate from the saarland and the soviet occupation zone. The seperation is because the three that are part of it had been given some unified economic stuff... Can't remember it exactly, but It was the bizone before france joined the pact and the Bizonal Economic Council was a pretty big thing in laying the groundwork for the new west-germany we got

This has no right to hit THIS much

This was actually only the unofficial anthem of the British, French, and American Zones (Trizonia in 1948). In the Soviet Zone, the Germans actually sang the anthem of the USSR... in German! And let me tell you, as the grandson of people who lived under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Anthem doesn't sound as well in German as it does in Russian.

Cool bro

Costa Rican Germany

i ended up singing to it-

Danke

This is the most depressing thing I have ever witnessed

The Austrian Painter left the chat*

Long live free Germany!

oh the modern version

from 1948

I Love Trizonesien‼️💝🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇷🇺🇩🇪

1:09 wondering what's the symbol in the Ussr flag

1:07 he used an edited map, if you put a frame of the video without captions in Google lens, you would see that the nazbol flag was artificially put there.

Lustiges Lied

Did anyone here also notice it's melodical similarity to the Soviet Air Force march, or also the Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten in which the Nazis adapted the Soviet melody

1:02 Why is the Nazbol flag used instead of the Soviet one?

Is a better anthem then the current one since you can sing the full song without going to jail

why is the soviet zone represented by the nazbol flag

the first background the east map but the soviet flag.. : "Nazbol"

The start reminds me too much of Erika… And honestly it makes this song better! Erika is a beautiful song, and it would be nice to know if this song’s beat is inspired by Erika.

Kind of curious. I understand the song’s origins, but not the Blue White and Red flag on screen. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

To my German friends, I wanna ask some questions, - 2:26 Why does "Er hat kuktur, er hat auch geist" translates to something like "He has culture, he also has spirit" but why does the word "geist" refers to intelligence rather than spirit on the english lyrics? - "Wir haben Mägdelein mit feurig wildem Wesien" What does "Wesien" mean here? Google translate nor search helped, My guess is "beast"? Like "wildem Wesien" means "Wild beast" - "Darin macht keiner ihm was vor" I don't understand this sentence word-by-word

Nazbol East Germany at 1:00????

Lucius Clay dances the Polka.

lol as a german ive never heard of this

Syo who's that small country on USA and france

This is only about the 3 Western zones. The USSR's portion was already separating culturally into what would become East Germany. Edit: their anthem in this pre-GDR time was, de facto, the Soviet national anthem (with fresh German lyrics)

🟦 ⬜ 🟥 ⬜ 🟦

Cool song but what is the name of it?

Imperial German Songs, Nazi Songs, and Post-Nazi Songs, still all talk about women all the time lmfao

Why nazbol flag?

🇨🇷

when i am listening i imagine the gue'vesa regiment marching with freshmade pulse rifles on their shoulders and chanting the warhammer version of this song. "Wir sind zwar keine Menschenfresser...." because the tau-seized human planets resembled me a 40k version of DDR

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙋‍♂

FF tactics and then

i thought it was the anthem of Germany in costarican 💀

I didn’t know Germany was colonized by Costa Rica

Not a single lie was uttered...

sa

So funny!

I thougth he want to say "ein kleines Blümlein"

1:07 Holy shit nazbol flag

💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️

Why there's the National-Bolshevik flag instead of the Soviet, on the german map? Like i think they should know how the Soviet Union flag looks like... Anyways this song is pretty catchy.

The one thing Trizonesians had that todays Germans dont have is a sense of humor

Entire world: Weeps.

Split berlin is so cursed

Und jetzt hat man Euronesien 😜

Ah, German songs being unable to praise the looks of the women... classic.

Ok to be fair that really doesn't resemble a national anthem

third reich (bad ending) end credits song

Thought Costa Rica annexed Germany

Alternatively you could have played the anthem of Israel,not a big difference between that and modern Germany.

Immer noch unsere Hymne, und zwar so lange bis wir wieder frei und unabhängig werden mit einer echten vom Volk in Freiheit erstellten Verfassung.

It is the 2nd half of the 1940s: large parts of the world lay in ashes in the biggest most terrible war in human history is over a new time has begun man has gained the potential to destroy himself. Meanwhile cologne:

"we're indeed not cannibals, but we're in fact good kissers" Germans being the most cannibal people in the world:

cool day today today is great greatness is in the eye of the beholder beholders never die die in a car car roll die die fall falling down down we go go home home is gone gone is wife wife is dead dead is internet internet must have answers answers not found found help help died died in car car is broken down downtown town is sad sadness sadness is end of life life is gone gone is love love is for devil devil tortures torture forever forever sad sad sad sad.

the destroyers of Germany

What were Germans expecting from being on the losing side of the biggest war the world has ever known?

Trizonia? Soviet Union, US and UK How about France? *sad french voice*

1:15 Nicht Richtig ! Wie die Wikinger kein neues Land entdeckten Kolumbus war nicht der Erste, der sich geirrt hatte. Denn ganze 500 Jahre vor Kolumbus haben schon die Wikinger eine ähnliche Reise auf sich genommen und sind ebenfalls auf den amerikanischen Kontinent gestoßen.07.06.2023 Tatsächlich "entdeckte" Christoph Kolumbus vor Vespucci Amerika, daher wäre es eigentlich naheliegender gewesen, dem Kontinent seinen Namen zu geben (immerhin wurde aber Kolumbien nach dem Entdecker benannt). Da jedoch erst Vespucci bemerkte, dass es sich um einen neuen Kontinent handelte, wurde ihm die Ehre zuteil.22.02.2012

im still mad they lost

And we'll do it again if the Krauts get uppity!

Schrecklich

🤢
