Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten [German + English Lyrics]

Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten ('Battle Song of the National Socialists'), also known by its opening line Wir Sind Das Heer Vom Hakenkreuz ('We Are the Army of the Hooked-cross'), was an early Nazi hymn. Its lyrics were written by Kleo Pleyer, while the melody was essentially based on that of the traditional German folk song Stimmt an mit hellem hohen klang, which was composed in 1811 by Albert Methfessel.
