Aha! Now this brings back a memory from a faulty memory bank:
Many years ago I read a book, it was a true memoir IIRC, about U-boat life. The author mentioned that when they had a success, or the Radio Op though their spirits needed lifting, he would play a record...
Now, this is where memory fails me a little - I think the record/title was "My Uncle Edward from ... " [though obviously sung in German, of course.]
Now, [again...!] I can no longer remember the book (though I will still have it somewhere on a shelf) and though I know I once did have a music file of the song I can no longer find it. Any clues please, anyone?
At the moment when we have a little success etc our radio op plays that wonderful tune
Oh, Du schöner Westerwald and the whistle always leaves me chilled to the bone.
