Longing for gramaphone german songs..
 

Gimme more of german songs in GWX 2.0!!! :) I can imagine there were few english ones but not few of german songs in U-boats. I don;t fully understand why somebody had to replace those songs with english, instead of adding more to exsiting ones :x I need a fix on this it drives me nuts listening to that f.e. "where's my yellow basket" :lol:

.. and you will find a file named Gramofono 1, this file is in 7z and should be enough stuff in there to keep you going for a while into 2008.
If you have any problems stuffing all the songs into your Gramaphone, come back to me and will advise.

Happy New Year.

You will be fed up with German marches and songs pretty soon and turn to jazz from the forties as many germans did prefer that as well.

By the way: Kpt Munson is beach cleaner some real occupation for you? In northern spain is seems like paradise to me :up:

Nah, must update that job title [I'll try and think of a fancy title when the fuzziness in the head clears, sometime in 2008].
My Nuts would drop off if I was doing that job now in the location I'm in. :yep:

To be honest I hate jazz myself so I prefer ispireing marches to keep me in high spirit :) boring jazz in my imagination fits only after some prolonged escapes from destroyers and depth charges when all the crew is simply feels too exhausted from action :)

I just put all the .ogg files from 3 folders to one gramaphone folder in the instalation directory of sh3 so they now are all in one place and are working fine, but how should I make them work via JGSME ?

what is the name of that song that is played in the movie enemy below where the captain plays it for moral right after he takes the wrench away from that guy? and is there anywhere to download it?

I don't know if you have heard these
 

But try:

http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/0...e_and_his.html

and select song 15 - a U-boater's must. These songs were developed for Goebbels' propaganda war by faking western Jazz. They are all timed to certain periods of the war. Number 15 is the perhaps the best being about German submarines and Brit loses to them. It appears the Nazis did not want their own people listening to them, but you know that the U-Boat crews listened to a lot of things good Nazis were not supposed to hear - because most U-boaters were not good Nazis. Since these songs were beamed to Britain I am fairly certain U-boats could have picked them up while trying to listen to Brit Radio music. I am certain song 15 on this list would have been a favorite with them. I sail no where without it. Listen to it all the way through...


also try http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/1...more_nazi.html

and try The Man with the Big cigar (Churchill) - its funny - typically sophmoric like most WWII German propaganda.

The song 'I've Got A Pocket Full of Dreams' is perhaps the most funny when you realize it shows how little the Nazis and Hitler thought of FDR and United States capabilities early on. And it is true that the USA was without a powerful military in 41. But boy did Hitler get re-educated by 1944. Germany couldn't even build one aircraft carrier. Japan only managed to build 7 more after Pearl harbor. But after Pearl Harbor the USA built 94 aircraft carriers before the war was over!! And this same massive construction took place in all branches of the US military. While only 12,000,000 were in the service by the war's end - the US had 50 million males they could have called up. SO this song really is funny because it shows how totally wrong Hitler could be.

Here`s another site that has all the German songs of all the branches, plus the banned propaganda music, marches, so forth, also Russian WWII songs.

Hi!

We replaced some of the German-language songs for GWX V2.0 because we we reconsidered whether we should include songs that were illegal under §86 and §86.a of German criminal law, in that they glorified Hitler or Nazi Party luminaries such as Horst Wessel; other songs were dropped because they were composed after the war.

We replaced most of these with popular jazz or swing recordings made through 1941, or in Germany through the end of the war, based on historical sources that commented on the popularity of these recording with U-boat crews. There were a few exceptions, such as the addition of "J'attendrai" (which was featured in Das Boot), and our replacement of the post-war Red Army Chorus version of "It's a long way to Tipperary" (sung partly in Russian) with a recording from 1915 sung entirely in English. We also added Marlene Dietrich singing a couple of songs in German ("Lili Marlen'" and "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt"), even though she was a fervent anti-Nazi and her recordings and films were banned in Nazi Germany.

We didn't add a lot of songs because the GWX 2.0 download was pretty big already, but please let me know if there are some period German-language recordings that you'd like to see included in any future release of GWX and we'll see what we can do.

For the moment, if you want to make your gramophone recordings compatible with JSGME then you should move all your new *.ogg files out of the /Gramophone folder where they now reside and put them in a new "/SH3/MODS/New Gramophone Recordings/data/Sound/Gramophone" folder, and then activate the "New Gramophone Recordings" mod (that you just created) via JSGME. For details, your best bet is to review the JSGME documentation.

Hope this helps!

Hi!

The song is "So leben wir," a drinking song composed for the movie The Enemy Below (1966) by the movie's composer, Leigh Harline. It was sung to an old German tune, "Der alte Dessauer" aka "Dessauer Marsch," first composed by Theodor Drobisch in 1706.

There is a video on YouTube of the relevant scene from the movie here. Does it look anything like Das Boot? No.

Your best bet to find a recording is to "ask 'Dr. Google'" or check Amazon.com for any current recordings. AFAIK the soundtrack to The Enemy Below is out of print.

It is understandible that some songs are banned do to the glorifcation of the Nazi party. But there are some that make fun of the nazis too. The biggest one I can give is Der Fuehrer's Face by Spike Jones, and some German songs that I've heard from http://www.ingeb.org/WWII.html are eather love songs, propaganda, or something else, and not all the songs there a German eather. There a some Italian, British, and Russian songs there too.

Have a tinker in my Drive Through; you may find what your looking for.

yes in V-mod
 

Yes in V-mod I included Waffen SS stuff but I warned Germans not to load those files and to burn them off. I understood why German law is the way it is. Hell, think about what that Bastard Hitler did them them! Rubble as far as the eye could see, great cities burnt to a crisp - millions of German males destroyed, maimed, or carted off to US army camps where up to a million German soldiers starved to death, or where Russia sent millions of these men to their Gulag - some for a decade. Hundreds of thousands of German women raped during the Allied invasions and afterward. Even the American soldier accounts I have read mention that American officers in charge of war rations after the war would not give a good looking German woman her rations without flesh payment (some what James Megellas and more especially Raymond Gantter's account). The Russians carted to the east everything of value that wasn't impossible to move by rail. I find it incredible that any real German would play at justifying Hitler - even if everything said about him may not be true, the bottom line is still true that he dragged Germany into a needless war that he lost and that ended up trashing out Germany for decades. Had Hitler not gained power I think it is likely Germany would have become a Super Power by the mid 50s (I base this on its advances in science (already seen BEFORE the Nazis rose to power).

On the other hand we Americans could care less about Nazi emblems (at least in the 60s to 80s - before P.C. propaganda) - mainly because we won the war. And just as we liked to roll around over the remains of Native American culture (like a wolf rolling around over its killed prey) so too we like rolling around over the remains of the Nazis - picking up their scent into our own fur. Americans have always done this. Of course the fact that we won and never had a city bombed (unlike the Brits) may have also accounted for our disreguard of things Nazi - or Japanese and now even Soviet! I know in WWII games I love playing the Ruskies. If I could sell one of my legs for a gun it would be this one:

Not necessary to use JSGME, if the [ogg] tracks are in the Gramaphone folder, they should play as soon as you crank up the Gramaphone :yep:
Bon Voyage Matey.
