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.

I might be wrong about this but. . .
Although Marlene Dietrich recorded the song, she did not do so until after several years after war's end. The version used in MAW is historically accurate, that is, the version is sung by Lale Anderson, whose recording was extant during the war.

Don't think you're wrong. I've read some of the kind. I guess we can still find some footage of Mrs Andersen in youtube singing Lil'Marlene. But you have to agree that if the MAW's song is with Mrs. Andersen then both would have an strikingly similar voice...

Marlene Dietrich sang an English version from 1943 for allied soldiers, Vera Lynn and others did as well. It is a funny story because the song was composed by Norbert Schultze, who was well known for his propaganda songs, but Goebbels didn't like the song (also because Lale Andersen was suspected to have contacts with Jewish groups in Switzerland) and it is was banned. The Wehrmacht radio station in Belgrade broadcast it nevertheless (every night before closing down). The station covered northern Africa and soldiers on all sides loved it.

Check the archives in the CFS3 download section. Good variety there, including some airfield ambience sounds.
