Both British Grenadiers and Battle Hymn of the Republic have lyrics though

(Well, technically they didn't have lyrics originally, but today they're acknowledged as having them.)

This show is as far away from being a Japanese military recruitment drive as you can get. For one, the JSDF doesn't operate German or American WW2 tank models

Also, the very background premise of the show and its portrayal paints tank warfare as a romantic and honorable competition between women. It's more akin to a Sports anime instead of being a military one, despite the military overtones. The only things they're trying to promote in this show are the two things in the title: the Girls and the Panzers
