Thanks

In Das Boot they sing along to the original English version. So I have no idea what you mean by "too slow". Also, I'm surprised you found a Russian version, as I had no idea they made other language versions. I do know though that the Kriegsmarine banned the song being played anywhere on German Navy property as they felt it was too "English". Hence why it was "naughty" when they put the song on in Das Boot.

Oh ok, on Wikipedia it says the song was a British Army marching song used since the 1st World War. No wonder the Kriegsmarine banned it.
