Looking for "German Hits_1940" etc Series

[Kuckoo]

I have just re-launched myself into SH3 following a lengthy absence caused by not having a PC that could be trusted to work.

Having now acquired a new one, I am - even as I type - steering a Type IIA towards the Shetland Islands on the first patrol of a new career.

I am patched up to GWX3 Gold (excellent!) and the wonderful "Das Boot Sound Mod", which I would struggle to live without and about which I have commented about on this forum a while ago.

However, one modification I am desperately missing is a set of gramophone music downloads which gathered together German popular songs from each year of the war (and pre-war too). They were OGG files and were zipped together in packages with names like "German Hits_1937-38", "German Hits_1939" etc. I believe the stretched as far as 1945, and started as early as 1910. Sadly my back-up disks failed to pick up these files before my PC gave out for good.

I look to "immerse" myself in SH3 and, in this particular sim, the sounds are at least as important as the sights. I have looked through the downloads section of this forum, and have found some mods which provide similar music. There is a good one called "German Hits of the 1930s". And Jimbuna has put together a series of OGGVORBIS files which provide a pile contempory music, which contain a fair slice of military music and also a lot of stuff by Charlie and his Orchestra.

All the above is good stuff, and I intend to borrow on them significantly. However, I would love to be able to download and cruise to the pop and tango hits contained in the files I have lost.

I would therefore be most grateful to anyone who could point me in the direction of "German Hits_1940" etc series of downloads, if by chance they are still available somewhere.

Many Thanks

Kuckoo

@ Mittelwaechter

Thanks for those Youtube music links.

Quite a few of the songs posted up by Sailor Steve can be found here. Some of the links are really pure audio, but others have an interesting visual track. There is a particularly interesting one for "Musik! Musik! Musik!" (the tune which sounds alarmingly like the theme from "The Muppet Show", for those familiar with the Sailor Steve downloads) which features some excellent quality photographs from pre-war Berlin. I never realised that F W Woolworth operated a branch in 1930s Berlin!

Apart from the atmospheric contribution made to the experience of SH3 by these contemporary tracks, I must confess to a genuine liking for many of them. I have quite a few songs from the 1930s and 40s in my music collection, and I know that if I played SH4 Harry James and Louis Jordan would be a must for cruising the Pacific!

Thanks, Steve, for posting those links. I've been having great fun listening to old German jazz.

What I really enjoy is finding an original version of a song that has been redone in recent years. For example, Schöner Gigolo (1929) was made famous by David Lee Roth back in the 80's. You can hear an American version of Sonny Boy (1929) in the movie "Jacob's Ladder".

Neat stuff - thanks again!

Steve, you are an amazing source of information.

Thank you.

Ditto. He has always been a great source.
