CHAPTER IX.
"I had a Comrade.
In chapter II, as we insert the first verse of "I have A FUNCER 'war song and this is an anthem dedicated by Germans to their campaign fall (Gefalensoldat). Thus, in Germany for singing and listening to the notes of "der Gute Kamerad 'we should preserve respect with a composite that corresponds To an event.
Spanish volunteers from the Blue Division, while they were at Gragenwöhr's German military camp in August 1941 and an educational period for training his Id.250 Nr. division found that by singing "I have A FAMARADA 'it caused oddity to their civil population. The German interpreters reported that the music of "I had A FUNCER, and his people were dedicated to their dead at a combat front.
The First Battalion of the PIMENTEL Regiment, while training at Burgos and Junio-July 1941 did not have information about their own languages or customs as well. The personnel recruited at Burgos came from the Spanish rural and industry-fishing environment of Cantabricus whose culture did not know what was to be related, in their adventure. Those focused in Madrid and Barcelona, that's something else.
