"Whether it storms or snows, Whether the sun smiles upon us, [Whether in] The day's scorching heat, Or the ice-cold of the night, Dusty are the faces, But joyful are our minds, Yes, our minds. Our tank roars there, Along in the storm winds."
— Tank

Kurt Wiehle, first verse of "Das Panzerlied" ("The Tank Song"), written & composed in 1933. Popular with tank crews of both the Heer (the German Army) and the Waffen-SS (Armed-SS, the military wing of the Nazi Party) prior to and during World War II, the song is widely-remembered in popular culture for its association with World War II-era German tank crews, and was used in war films like Battle of the Bulge (1965).
