The german part is very bad. The voice of Hannes Wader is much better.

Remembrance / Veteran's Day, 11 November 2014“In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.” Jose Narosky

Back again, tears in my eyes, listening to this most beautiful version of a beautiful song. We will remember them all.

*No Man's Land* An Eric Bogle song - a lyrical meditation if you will - that evokes the realities and stupidity of war, sung appropriately here in both English and German by Eric Bogle and Wachol*Dedicated to the fallen on both sides 1914 to1918*

David Ireland

Joss Stone needs to watch and listen to this.

For the fallen, lest we forget.

Mark Rcca

I'm guessing this song wasn't too popular in 1930's Germany...

Michael Schmitt

Eric Bogle viel besser als ein bescheidender Sänger

Translation of the German:Did you, dead soldier, once love a girl?Surely not only where there is peacecould there be gentleness and trustYou were a soldier to die and not to be young.Maybe you thought, I'll fall soonI'll take my pleasure as it comes, by forceYou determined to do it but thenWere ashamed of yourself and didn't after allRefrain:Yes, and they lied to you just as they still do todayAnd you gave them everythingYour strength, your youth, your life.Second part (my translation, not exactly the same as in the video)The cross remains as the only traceOf your life, but hear my vowTo fight for peace and be vigilantThat humanity doesn't fall for lies againThen it could be that soon no one is alive anymoreNo one left to bury the billions of deadBut more and more people are preparedTo prevent this warIt's time.Refrain:Yes, and they lied to you just as they still do todayAnd you gave them everythingYour strength, your youth, your life.

Superb live performance of powerful song by the author and his German comrade. I'd like to know where and when. I also humbly offer a couple of lyric variations:...broken heart instead of "loyal"...generation all slain by command instead of "butchered and damned"...Did the conscripts believe that it was a just cause (last verse, 3rd line)keep on Eric

For those on both sides, we respect but cannot know what was left behind, thank you for your sacrifice.

I don't care what the mans name was, or where he was from; England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Mexico, Japan, or the "Colonies" - this is the best anti-war song ever.For the record, it was Caporetto, a soldier of The Empire of Austria-Hungary.

The name McBride is not an exclusively Irish name it's Scots/Irish or Ulster Scots there are hundreds of McBrides in Scotland and the war records show that there were 23 WW1 dead with the name W McBride from all nations of Great Britain. Scots,Irish,English,Welsh and commonwealth forces,Canadian and Australian.The names can be checked on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site.

According to "The Somme" by Martin Gilbert "So moved was he by the war cemeteries that, picking a name at random to represent all the fallen he wrote the song 'No-Man's Land'. ...unknown to Eric Bogle...a Private William McBride is buried in Authuille Military Cemetery. Serving in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, he had been killed in April of 1916, near Thiepval."

McBride is an Irish name. And people have checked the records and the only people who died in WWI with the name William, Willie or W. McBride were in Irish regiments.

well fuck me gently, when a man sees both sides in a war an sings in their language in the same song as english spoken , it reminds me of the great poet Robert Burns
