Panzer vor!
Follow me!
1
If it storms or snows, or the sun smiles on us,
The day burning hot, or the icy cold of night.
Dusty are our faces, but joyful are our minds,
Yes, our minds
They roll our tanks forward into the storm's wind.
2
With thundering engines, as fast as lightning,
Towards the enemy, sheltered in the tank,
Ahead of our comrades, in battle we stand alone,
Yes we alone,
That's how we thrust deep into the enemy ranks.
3
When before us a hostile tank appears,
Full throttle is given and we close with the enemy.
What does our life matter but for the Reich's army?
Yes, Reich's army.
To die for Germany is our highest honor.
4
With obstacles and tanks the foe blocks our path,
We laugh about it and don't drive upon them.
And even if his hand shakes morosely and furiously,
Yes, his hand,
We will search for ways that no one else has found.
5
And if we are abandoned by treacherous luck,
And if we don't return back home again,
If death's bullet finds us, and fate calls us away,
Yes, us away,
Then our tank shall become an honorable iron grave!
