Not really, just a miss-step. The way I look at it, considering all that goes into the organizing and testing of updates, it is a very small fubar.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Well that's encouraging... maybe a future patch will restore this sadly missed option?
interesting, never saw that version ....:d
talking of re-enactment: in Duxford I saw a group of Luftwaffe soldiers (and something like an Afrikakorps officer), would be unthinkable in Germany (and probably illegal, because of showing the swastika in public)......

Pity... It rather spoils it when they start to speak English...! It's just about legal in France if you are BLOODY careful - now. For years, nobody dared. Typical French approach - bad losers.
ndicki,
there is also an "Engeland" version, but I doubt that then modern war-songs like that were really popular, probably just well known from the movies/radio and somehow frightening. That was however not the case with the good old marching songs, which were often not even glorifying death or threatening the enemy (e.g. Erika, Ein Heller und ein Batzen, Wenn die Soldaten etc.). Of the latter there was even a version by Marlene Dietrich. I sang a few traditional marching songs as a draftee, which was about the only traditional thing I found in the modern German army.

Oki - quite agree with you. I think that among the ordinary, rank-and-file German soldiers there was a degree of cynicism that kept them well away from the latest generation of songs! Perhaps among the Waffen-SS or other political troops, but it's reasonable to think that most didn't want to sing that sort of thing...
The music here is actually by a post-war military band, as Oki says above. The film itself is very interesting...

I don't really know why, but my 1.31 install has the automatic ui-music selector for the different eras. I can't remember what I did. May be there is already a patch available? (I check my files tonight....
)
