Looking for "German Hits_1940" etc Series

Kuckoo · 06-02-12, 08:06 AM

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
