As the sudden success of Frederic suprised the world it also had a massive inpact on the german society until the present day.

To the present day it is rumored that Friederich himself composed the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch" himself. But there is no proof of it. Anyway this became the soundtrack for the Battle of Hohenfriedberg 4.6.1745

Hohenfriedberger

 

[Wolfgang_UK]

After the costly battle of Leuthen the Prussian Army gathered and sang the Protestant hymn, the 1636 composed song "Nun lobet alle Gott mit Herzen Mund und Händen".
Another song that became deeply rooted into the german soul. It was sung after every battle by those german soldiers who did survive. It was not banned during the Nazi years but due to the religious context no more promoted. It was loudly sung in 1955 when the last 10.000 surviving POW from Russia arrived in Friedland/West Germany.
