Blitzkreig –Kommen Heir SaÜgling (Come Here Baby)/ Das Führer –Vier Reich Records SS 1047 (1976 US)
Nazi Proto Punk Boogie of the highest order with a heavy Bonehead twist (and a T shirt).What’s with all this German stuff? With a modest grasp of the German language (can’t spell Blitzkrieg) these Palm Spring bozos went all Nazi for this release, on Vier Reich records with Das FÜhrer on the B side no less. Kommen Heir Saugling (come here you cow!) was released in early 76 and is basic Hard Rock at its most caveman without an inkling of any Übermensch to be found. It sounds like the guitarist had access to the mixing desk for 6 seconds as the volume of the guitar intro cuts and slashes across the mix in fine fashion. Blitzkreig’s tenuous grasp on reality didn’t last long under the introspection of all that healthy desert sun and this appears to be their only release

Proper translation from English to German is missing here. It should be "Der Führer", "Blitzkrieg", probably "Viertes Reich". Also "Kommen Heir Saügling" should be better translatet with "Komm her, Süße" because "Säugling" (as it is spelled right) means "infant." Quite funny!
The members of Blitzkrieg go back to the mid 1960's. Keith Castleberry was in a group called "Trend", while the McWhirter brothers were in a group called "Webb". All of them were born and raised in Palm Springs.
in early 1970, Castleberry and Michael McWhirter were in a band called Rock Botton.
