阿爾弗雷德·馮·鐵必制
The song tells the story of a brigade of tanks on the Western Front, passing obstacles with ease. It references many prominent German military leaders of the day, including Kaiser Wilhelm, Alfred von Tirpitz, Paul von Hindenburg and Prince Wilhelm. It is written to the jaunty tune of a music hall hit of a few years earlier "The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo".
