"Einheitsfrontlied"- German Workers' Song (Rare Version)
This video is a remake of my first ever video to be uploaded, exactly a year ago (13/14 January (depending on the timezone), 2023). Its been a year since the official "start" of this channel, and 2,000 subscribers in just under a year was not something I was expecting at all. Thank you for helping me achieve this incredible milestone.
Original audio: • "Einheitsfrontlied" - German Worker's... (by @roedagardet)
Footage used taken from "Ernst Thälmann - Sohn seiner Klasse (Son of his Class)", an East German propaganda film on Thälmann, a German communist revolutionary and anti-fascist.
Einheitsfrontlied is a popular workers' song and also a prominent anti-fascist song. After Hitler's coming to power in January 1933, the situation for left-wing movements in Germany drastically deteriorated. The antagonism between the Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party had long divided the German left. After the Nazis banned both parties and labour unions in the summer of 1933, many people, including Bertolt Brecht, believed that only a united front of social democrats and communists could fight back against the National Socialists. In 1934, at the request of fellow theatre director Erwin Piscator, Brecht wrote the "Einheitsfrontlied", calling for all workers to join the Arbeiter-Einheitsfront, the Workers' United Front. The song was performed the next year in the First International Workers Music Olympiad held in Strasbourg by a choir of 3,000 workers. Its first record was printed in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, performed by communist actor and singer Ernst Busch.
