Kameraden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen
#WOLFENSTEIN 3D TITLE THEME FULL#
Here's an original recording of the full song:ĭie Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen! Here's the song that plays in-game in RTCW: Here's my recording of the original Wolf3D theme song (in all its Adlib goodness :drool:!) : With the fall of the Nazi regime in 1945, the Horst-Wessel-Lied was banned, and both the lyrics and the tune remain illegal in Germany to this day, under the German Criminal Code, sections 86 and 86a. A regulation attached to a printed version of the Horst Wessel-Lied in 1934 required the right arm to be raised in a "Hitler salute" when the first and fourth verses were sung. Nazi Germany thus had a double anthem, consisting of the first verse of the Deutschlandlied followed by the Horst Wessel-Lied. When the Nazis came to power in 1933 The Horst-Wessel-Lied was recognised as a national symbol by a law issued on May 19, 1933. The song became the official Song of Consecration (Weihelied) for the Nazi Party, and was extensively used at party functions as well as being sung by the SA during street parades. Wessel was assassinated by a Communist activist in January 1930, and the propaganda apparatus of the Berlin Gauleiter, Dr Joseph Goebbels, made him the leading martyr of the Nazi Movement. The lyrics of the song were composed in 1929 by Horst Wessel, a Nazi activist and local commander of the Nazi militia, the SA, in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain.

From 1933 to 1945 it was also part of Germany's national anthem. The Horst-Wessel-Lied ("Horst Wessel Song"), also known as Die Fahne hoch ("The flag on high", from its opening line), was the anthem of the National Socialist German Workers Party from 1930 to 1945. This is an excerpt about the song from Wiki: I compared it to my recording of the Wolf3D theme, and they were the same thing! Now I got to thinking, what song was this that iD used as the main theme? I tried looking around, and I stumbled across a Wolf3D fan-site that had the original song available to download. pak files, and after an hour's search I finally found the song (went through 50 songs before I found the right file). Yesterday, I was inspired to get that song out of the RTCW.

I remember sitting there for 5 minutes just listening to this song loop, because I was fascinated by it. When I played Return to Castle Wolfenstein a few years ago, I remember coming across a radio on the third level that was playing the Wolf3D main theme, but it had lyrics and it sounded like an old marching song. I always loved the Wolf3D soundtrack, especially the main menu music, but the theme always stood out in my mind, even as a kid.
