March of the fighting groups of the working class
The march of the fighting groups of the working class had been the official presentation march of the fighting groups of the working class , a paramilitary organization in the GDR that was supposed to secure the supremacy of the SED since the early 1970s . In keeping with the official politico-military doctrine of the GDR, it addresses the threat to the state from external and internal enemies. The necessity of constant vigilance and readiness for defense beyond the conventional armed organs is derived from this threat .
Willi Kaufmann was active as a composer, the text was written by Max Zimmering .

In stormy times we build
a prosperous, peaceful country
And, on behalf of the people, keep
arms in steady hands.
Based on deserved trust,
everyone feels the strength that sustains them.
The fighting collective of the comrades
itself moves and moves mountains.
We helped build the protective wall.
What do we care about the enemy's cries!
We are not alone at the post
and we are not afraid of tigers or sharks.
We know the lustful robber
Who lurking threatens the peace.
Protecting
the state we created
is the first commandment to all.
Where workers and peasants rule,
the exploiters smash power,
where work is a duty and honor,
where the flame of knowledge is kindled.
It is worth braving the storms,
standing in the fire
, carrying rifles and walking
in step with the fighters.
