Freikorps voran [German Freikorps song][+English translation]

Disclaimer: I have no official source or idea, where this song is from, which is why I only wrote basic information about the Freikorps. I thought it is from the 1920s but some state it could be from the 1990s. If it should be from a controversial source, I want to distance myself from it of course. I just think the song is badass, that’s all :) General info about the Freikorps: The meaning of the word Freikorps changed over time. After 1918, the term was used for the paramilitary organizations that sprang up around Germany as soldiers returned in defeat from World War I. They were the key Weimar paramilitary groups active during that time. Many German veterans felt disconnected from civilian life, and joined a Freikorps in search of stability within a military structure. Others, angry at their sudden, apparently inexplicable defeat, joined up in an effort to put down communist uprisings, such as the Spartacist uprising, or exact some form of revenge on those they considered responsible for
