The recordings
Luftwaffen Parade2:36
Recording details
“Luftwaffen Parade” is a spacing-variant title lead alongside the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s “Luftwaffenparade.” Neither wording identifies a parade occasion, live recording, musical work or performers.
Sources & Resources
Flieger Sind Sieger3:06
Historical Context
A Vienna Konzerthaus programme for 28 March 1941 identifies Robert Küssel’s Flieger sind Sieger as a march from D III 88. That is a possible same-title work comparison. The concert’s performers and date cannot be assigned to this recording, and the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s differently worded Flieger Sind Wir remains separate.
Deutscher Fliegermarsch4:45
Recording details
“Deutscher Fliegermarsch” remains an unidentified supplied title. Broad aviation wording does not establish a composer, arrangement or particular performance.
Sources & Resources
Das Stuka Lied2:37
Recording details
“Die Luftwaffe” lists “Stuka Lied” without the opening “Das.” These broad song titles offer a comparison lead but do not distinguish compositions, versions or soundtrack performances.
Sources & Resources
Aufwarts Zur Sonne3:08
Recording details
The supplied “Aufwarts” is preserved without an added umlaut. the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s “Aufwärts Zur Sonne” is a wording comparison; no common work, composer or recording date is established.
Sources & Resources
Bomben Auf Engelland2:46
Historical Context
The Deutsches Historisches Museum links Norbert Schultze’s Bomben auf Engelland to the propaganda film Feuertaufe, released in April 1940. This offers a possible work comparison; neither the film date nor the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s similar title authenticates this performance.
Parademarsc Der Geschwader Richtofen2:20
Recording details
The supplied words “Parademarsc,” “Geschwader” and “Richtofen” remain unchanged. the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s “Jagdgeshwader Richthofen” is a wording lead only; no correction, common work or performing unit is established.
Sources & Resources
Rot Scheint Die Sonne2:55
Historical Context
A 1998 Bundestag investigation distinguishes different verses of Rot scheint die Sonne in Bundeswehr use. The title does not reveal which verses or arrangement are heard here. the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s matching title does not establish a shared performance.
Sources & Resources
Fallschirmjagermarsch3:04
Recording details
“Fallschirmjagermarsch” is too broad to identify a particular work. It does not establish Rot scheint die Sonne or another specific paratrooper song, and the performance remains unidentified.
Sources & Resources
Lied Der Junkers-und-Flug-motorenwerke3:22
Historical Context
The Buchenwald Memorial documents forced labour in aircraft-component production for Junkers at Schönebeck. That history does not identify this song’s words, authors or performance. Its hyphens and wording are retained; the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s industrial title is only a comparison lead.
Es Blitzen Die Stahleren Schwingen3:11
Recording details
“Stahleren” remains the supplied spelling. the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s “Stälernen” is a wording comparison, not an established correction or evidence of a shared musical setting or recording.
Sources & Resources
Hermann Goering Marsch2:26
Historical Context
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum documents Göring’s role in anti-Jewish dispossession and his July 1941 order for planning the Final Solution. This history accompanies the supplied title without identifying the march’s composer, performers or recording date.
Sources & Resources
Bombenflieger Der Legion Kondor6:07
Historical Context
The Deutsches Historisches Museum places Legion Condor propaganda alongside Guernica’s civilian suffering. The supplied “Kondor” wording is retained. Shared subject matter does not equate this title with the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s Legion Condor parade march or authenticate either recording.
Graf Von Zeppelin2:50
Historical Context
A publisher’s sample score names Carl Teike for the music of Graf Zeppelin and credits Achim Graf and Peter Welte as arrangers. The edition bears a 2014 copyright notice. This is a possible work comparison; neither the work match nor that arrangement is established for this recording.
Flieger Empor!3:19
Historical Context
A trade bibliography of 13 December 1933 lists Flieger empor under E. E. Buder and names H. Männecke as arranger of a wind-band edition. This is a possible same-title work comparison; the composition, arrangement and performance in this file remain unidentified.
Junkers SS Lied3:14
Recording details
“Junkers SS Lied” is the exact supplied wording. It does not establish SS-related subject matter, and the proposed “88” reading remains unverified. the “Die Luftwaffe” collection’s “Junkers 88 Lied” is only a comparison lead; no common work or performance is established.
Sources & Resources
Piloten Marsch2:46
Recording details
“Piloten Marsch” remains unidentified. Generic pilot imagery does not establish a work, composer, unit, recording date or relationship to another aviation march.
Sources & Resources
Lied Der Jagdflieger3:33
Recording details
“Die Luftwaffe” also lists “Lied Der Jagdflieger.” The common supplied title does not establish the same composition, arrangement, authorship or performance.
Sources & Resources
Flieger Fanfare2:58
Historical Context
A Königsberg radio schedule for 16 October 1938 credits a Fliegerfanfare to Husadel. This is a contemporary same-title comparison, not identification of the composition or performance in this file. The schedule documents advertised repertoire, not a confirmed transmission.

Behind the sound
Aviation songs, persecution and forced labour
Nazi promotion of the Legion Condor accompanied the devastation of Guernica. The Deutsches Historisches Museum’s account supplies civilian context for a title invoking that formation. Its film history also links Bomben auf Engelland to the propaganda film Feuertaufe, released in April 1940. Neither an institutional name nor a film-release date authenticates these performances.
The industrial labels require attention to coercion. Prisoners at Schönebeck were forced to make aircraft components for Junkers, as documented by the Buchenwald Memorial. This company history belongs beside an industrial song title. It does not establish the supplied work, its words, authors or musicians, and the ambiguous Junkers SS Lied wording remains an unverified label.
A march naming Göring needs the history of his actions alongside it. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum documents his role in anti-Jewish dispossession and his July 1941 order for planning the Final Solution. That responsibility cannot be separated from institutional commemoration. The supplied title nonetheless leaves the march’s composer, performance and recording date unidentified.
Presented for critical historical study, including civilian victims, anti-Jewish persecution and forced labour. Nazi ideology and violence are not endorsed.
