The first song that Rip sings is Das Engelandlied. It is composed by Herms Niel, as a Nazi propaganda song for WW2. The words and lyrics were adapted from a German WW1 folk song written by Hermann Löns about German soldiers going off to England to fight. This song is also the ending theme for IV.
The second song Rip sings is taken from the opera Der Freischutz, by Carl Maria von Weber. It is in Act 1 Scene 2. It's part of the performance called "Oh, diese Sonne, furchtbar steigt sie empor!".
