Let the banners flutter

Let the banners flutter (German: Weit lasst die Fahnen wehen) is a German song written by composer Gustav Schulten (30 January 1897 - 1945) in 1917, and published nationally in Germany in the year 1941.

The song refers to the Landsknecht movement. A Landsknecht is the name given to a mostly German mercenary of the late 15th and 16th centuries who fought on foot and whose primary weapon was the pike, following the Swiss model of the Reisläufer.
