Lili Marleen

So I was wondering if anyone happened to have a recording of the U-boat version of Lili Marleen (assuming one was ever made and still exists). It would be nice to have that along with the goddess of singing and dem legs Marlene Dietrich

There's a number of versions available, although I must confess a have a hard time getting past Marlene's.

IIRC, the ogg vorbis files in jimbuna's sig has several of them in there.

There is actually an interesting two page look at the song in Roger Moorehouse's Berlin At War in a chapter that deals with the wider implications of radio in the Third Reich. I haven't the copy to hand (it is on my desk at work) but from memory it is about page 200.

It's not necessarily an academic deconstruction of either the song or its sociological importance, rather an insight into a specific song and its manipulation by Goebels in a larger use of radio. Also - and I hate to get all nerd on you - but there is also a similar (cursory) look at Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in Richard Evan's The Third Reich in Power

Just my two cents for anyone interested in music in the Third Reich
