Re: Schräge Musik
Calling Lied eines jungen Wachtposten (a.k.a. Lili Marleen) Jazz is stretching the term beyond its breaking point.
It just ain't Jazz baby...
Dietrich's (most) famous pre-war song is called Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuss Auf Liebe Eingestellt, ain't Jazz either.
They are both favorites of mine.
Others are Hans Albers together with Heinz Rühmann* singing Jawohl, meine Herr'n, Heinz Albers singing Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins or La Paloma from the movie Große Freiheit Nr.7.
*One of Nazi Germany's favorite actors and incidentally a Luftwaffe reserve Hauptmann (IIRC).
