Wars of Germany is not related to the two song-groups often called High Germany, though I've noticed that people often assume that they must all be "versions" of the same song because they share the (once commonplace) term "high Germany".

Motherwell's Wars of Germany ("O wae be to the orders") was first printed in Whistle-Binkie in the mid 19th century, so far as I know. The DT file appears to have been transcribed from a commercial recording, is slightly Anglicised and omits two verses (which are also omitted in all the modern arrangements I've heard, come to that); no source is credited, so it's hard to be sure.

I'm not sure why Rudie started a new thread to make this announcement; as a rule it would probably be more useful in the DT Attribution & Minor Corrections PermaThread. Of course, if he is intending to post the original text (ideally with bibliographic details) that would be very welcome.

The (full?) text can be found on several websites without too much difficulty, but I don't trust website texts that don't credit a verifiable source.
