In case you were wondering:

German original

 

Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!

SA marschiert mit ruhig, festem Schritt.

Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,

Marschier'n im Geist in unser'n Reihen mit.

 

Die Straße frei den braunen Batallionen.

Die Straße frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann!

Es schau'n aufs Hakenkreuz voll Hoffnung schon Millionen.

Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an!

 

Zum letzten Mal wird Sturmalarm geblasen!

Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit!

Bald flattern Hitlerfahnen über alle Straßen.

Die Knechtschaft dauert nur noch kurze Zeit!

 

Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!

SA marschiert mit ruhig-festem Schritt.

Kameraden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,

Marschieren im Geist in unseren Reihen mit.

 

English translation

 

The flag on high! The ranks closed tightly!

SA marches with calm, firm steps.

Comrades shot by Red Front and reactionaries

March in spirit within our ranks.

 

Clear the streets for the brownshirts,

Clear the streets for the stormtroopers!

Already millions, upon seeing the swastika, are filled with hope

The day of freedom and bread is dawning!

 

The call has sounded for the last time

We all stand ready for the fight!

Soon Hitler's flags will fly over all streets.

Our bondage will only last a short time more!

 

The flag on high! The ranks close tightly!

SA marches with calm, firm steps.

Comrades shot by Red Front and reactionaries

March in spirit within our ranks.

Me I prefer the USSR national anthem. Mainly cause it's freakin awesome, and partly cause now that they're not soviets anymore, they still use the same song, with a couple of words changed. In Russia, the national anthem sings you apparently.

Oh, mostly I love the stylised iconography of the USSR. Makes me a little moist.

I mean right at the end, the style is un comparable.

I must say that I'm fascinated by the whole cold war CCCP vibe - specifically all the old military installations, their sheer size and the fact that they existed and what they look like today. Some towns are completely vacant, as if frozen in time, since military expenditure was stopped and the end of the end of the cold war.

 

There are some very cool sites on the net where guys go and explore the old relics and post pics. This one is very cool http://www.englishrussia.com/ Some crap on there too though...
