Re: Schräge Musik

Lilli Marlene was a German song sung in German by a German artiste (whose name has just slipped by me). It was played on German radio and became popular amongst the Eighth Army in the desert, before it was anglicised and sung by anyone in the USA. I rather doubt that Dietrich's version was ever played on the official German radio.

As jazz predates the Nazi regime, a name for it would have existed in German in advance of any ban.
