But try:

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...

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.
