Entertainment in the German camp

Ich spioniere mit meinem kleinen Auge aus

Steiner - you think about this stuff way too much. Just chill out, eat, drink, verbally abuse others and listen to tales of outrageous airsofting skill. (aka - Bullshit )

i haven't got time to do it before CR, but i was planning on butchering an old 40's looking portable radio to fit an mp3 player inside it, with assorted german songs on it!

I have a harmonica (aka mouth organ) but I only know about one pre 1960s tune so once the allied lot get sick of me I'll be only too pleased to come over and irritate you lot too.

You'll have to walk a couple of miles through the woods in the dark to do that....and I'm not sure your CO (me) will be too happy with all this fraternisation!

its ok headshot I think we can be spared the torment of one tune all night (gawd forbid its colonel bogey or such like ) I abhor that song after being in a marching band some moons ago

I can probably supply a song book full of 1940s army songs... there are some VERY dirty songs in there!

Of course this is just for the allies... All I want to hear coming out of the german camp is "The Panzerlied" and "Deutchland Deutchland Uber Ales"

there may be werewovles in the woods, Allies dont plan on getting much sleep, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

w..w...w...werewolves thank feck its not an end of the war event, not sending me out on me todd as a woman on a mission pmsl

I have an original 1942 Soldatliederbuch with over a hundred chart toppers!

If anyone has any requests let me know and if it's in the book i'll post up the score and words.

werewolves? nevermind the werewolves mind the allied snipers camo'd in the woods who will be randomly shooting people in your camp in the arse

ironically enough my nickname at my usual airsoft site is werewolf. dont ask

As 'Afrika' vets Matt and I are learning the German version of 'lili marlene'

well thats that song in my head for the rest of the night then not sure of all the words tho just the tune

There are three versions that i know of.

The German version, the English version and the English LRDG/SAS version which is a bit more nasty....

this version ? I assume the music is the same irrespective to language though I used to play it on a marching fife.

Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem gro

 

oh and in as many languages as possible

AFAIK the german version was actually prefereed by both DAK and 8th Army soldiers.

I imagine the translation would have been top brass not really approving of our lads singing a german tune...

I like kermits idea! but in the interests of realism i think that this idea should be considered!
