Erika comes from a specific flower. Tha latin name of the flower is ericaceae. In German we call it Heidekraut. You also hear in the song the word Heidekraut. "when the Heidekraut blooms red and purple again." Because it is the color of ericaceae. The red/purple flowering ericaceae is usually growing on heathers (Heiden) in Germany.
That is where Erika came from in this song. A red flower with the name ericaceae that grows on the heather.
The soldiers also sing for their woman who are waiting for her men to come home from war. That is the main aspect of this song. Not the flower itself.
