about

The song "The Yankee Division March" picks up on the very moment when the Americans marched on the German positions at 05:00. Written from the point of view of a German mortarman and an American fusilier, the lyrics attempt to capture the situation of the opposing parties.

The German artillery crew shoves one twenty-two-inch shell after another into the maw of the fire-breathing mortar, while the American fusilier must crawl through mud, barbed wire, and body parts to enter the German trenches unscathed.

Ultimately, the winner is death.

lyrics

Die achte Division
In Igelposition
In Sankt Mihiel
Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division
So wurd‘ es uns befohl‘n
Nicht ein Stück
Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March
Is ready for the charge
In Saint Mihiel
With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March
Full of will and starch
We‘ll come by night
With a sudden strike

Wir sitzen am ersten Geschütz
Die Abwehrlinie ist durchlässig
Kein Flammenschirm, der uns beschützt
Zermürbt und übernächtigt

Früh um 5 dann der Überfall
Es brüllt der Motor der Kriegsmaschine
Rotes Licht, ein lauter Knall
Als die Ami‘s losmarschieren

Schießen, laden, schießen, laden,
Dumpf ploppt unser Mörser 16
20 Zentimeter Granaten
So schwer, dass unsre Männer ächzen

Wir sehen die Tanks auffahren
Sie überrollen die Schützengräben
Der Ami kommt in Scharen
Trachtet uns nach unserem Leben

Die achte Division
In Igelposition
In Sankt Mihiel
Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division
So wurd‘ es uns befohl‘n
Nicht ein Stück
Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March
Is ready for the charge
In Saint Mihiel
With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March
Full of will and starch
We‘ll come by night
With a sudden strike

We’re ducking in the trench
Waiting for five a.m.
Four hours of constant bombing
We stick to Pershings plan

The operation starts
Sneaking through the no-mans land
Thousand men in the mud
Crawling to the German trench

We brought our tanks with us
The M1917
Six times seven feet
Six tons on the battlefield

The plateau is bombed out
Flatten by preparation fire
Just a few obstacles
Corpses and barbed wire

Die achte Division
In Igelposition
In Sankt Mihiel
Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division
So wurd‘ es uns befohl‘n
Nicht ein Stück
Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March
Is ready for the charge
In Saint Mihiel
With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March
Full of will and starch
We‘ll come by night
With a sudden strike
