// Государственный гимн Западной Германии (1949-1950; Инструментальный) Честно, Я Сдамся // "Ich hab′ mich ergeben" (English: "I have surrendered myself", lit. '"I surrender"') is a German patriotic song. The text was written in 1820 by Hans Ferdinand Maßmann. It was one of the unofficial national anthems of West Germany from 1949 to 1952, when the "Deutschlandlied" was officially reinstated.
