Which WWII power had the scariest music

[Imperious Leader]

The greatest song of all. When this song is played in Russia every stands during the whole song. The respect for the dead and the sacrifice is felt strongest in this song.

Ottoman Empire (representing the neutrals)

I’m puzzled about the notion of the Ottoman Empire representing WWII neutrals, since the Ottoman Empire was dissolved at the end of WWI.

OK OK its turkey, but I guess the song was from Ottoman times.  And I like the song even if I don;t know what they are saying

Our armies are thrusting to the east
Into Russian land
Comrades, take your guns!
Victory will be ours
From Finland to the Black sea
Forward! Forward!
Forward to the east, storming army
Freedom is our goal
Victory is our banner
Fuhrer, order us!
We will follow you!

Freedom!

Thanks!
Interesting, inspiring DIRECT words

We shall drive a bullet into the forehead
Of the rotten fascist filth,
We shall build a solid coffin
For the scum of humanity!

It is easy to forget how difficult it was for those in the most affected areas of WWII.

We’re going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line.
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line.
'Cause the washing day is here.

Terrifies me.

This is why they won the war.  Best leave them Russians alone.

Another text along these lines is the oath shown from 11:20 to 12:20 in this video of Frank Capra’s Why We Fight: The Battle of Russia - Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgciQ0FRNY.  I’m not sure if that particular bit of footage (which looks rather staged) originated in either Russia or Hollywood, but my understanding is that The Battle of Russia was presented in Russia during the war and was very favourably received.
