I've always found the third stanza moving...

And if we are abandoned
By that unfaithful luck
And if we don't return
To our homeland again
If a bullet strikes us down
If our fate calls on us
Yes calls on us
Then our tank will give us
A metal grave

Thanks. I get that song stuck in my head all the time. There is a roofing company here locally that uses it for their radio ads. Except it puts in the words "Roof, roof, roof, we love to roof.... the men who love to roof." I'm probably the only person who knows where the heck that is taken from. I laugh whenever I see that movie and see the guy from Adam 12 as a Nazi tanker.

For real appreciation of it, sing it with German Leopard, Kätzchen, and Jagdpanzer90 crews at Grafenwohr, particularly when a couple of their older NCOs get up and include the banned SS-Panzer verse.

And slam beer krugs made from 90mm and 105mm main gun cases on the table for percussion accompaniment, instead of just stomping feet. Rookies sing the italicized lines.
