In Sanssouci am Mühlenberg (2.24) / Schön sind die Wälder (2.03) / Es ist so schön, Soldat zu sein (2.23) / Kleine Elisabeth (2.03) / Ich geh auf große Fahrt, Marie (2.17) / Die ganze Kompanie (2.06).īeware of thinking these are Wartime versions - they are not! Wenn die Sonne scheint, Annemarie (2.11) /. So that listeners may recognise these tracks on the Internet, I will list them with their characteristic short durations: McKenzie where it wrongly implies that the artists were directed by Herms Niel. This LP is pictured on p117 of the book "Collecting Third Reich Recordings" by Stuart C. "Tschingta Tschingta Bummtara" - Die größten Erfolge von Herms Niel (Elite Special SOLP 30 067). They are quite distinctive in that the versions are very short, generally about 2 minutes, whereas the Wartime versions are usually about 3 minutes. The listener is misled into thinking they were recorded before 1945, whereas they were recorded in Stereo circa 1961. On several sites on the Internet I have found Soldatenlieder by Herms Niel. There is another set of recordings that I wish to draw attention to. THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR HISTORICAL ACCURACY AS WELL AS FOR ENJOYING LISTENING TO MUSIC WITH HONESTY. WE MUST KEEP PRE-1945 AND POSTWAR RECORDINGS CLEARLY SEPARATE. I wonder what our friends in the Bundeswehr think? I see that the potpourri by Heeresmusikkorps 6 / Heeeresoffizierschule II / Gerhard Scholz (1959) is now being passed off in some places as "Grosses Potpourri der Wehrmacht".

I seem to recall that "Wir tragen das Vaterland" was VERY Stereophonic, and some other RAD "Pflichtlieder" also.Īs I say, DS is a great series - it's just not absolutely purely pre-1945. (A GREAT song, which I have never heard recorded in Mono!)įrom memory, there were some other postwar recordings in the DS albums. "Wir sind die schwarzen Husaren der Luft" (A LOVELY song - but has anyone ever come across a Wartime version?) (As this is a "political" song about the Legion Condor, a postwar version is unbelievable!)

The DS albums about the Luftwaffe are full of excellent songs, but they are almost all recorded in Stereo and have the "feel" of the 1960s or later. Both "Westerwald" and "Schlesierlied" are there. The most obvious case to me is on some of the "Soldatenlieder" albums from Documentary Series (whose productions I judge to be generally excellent).

Friess (recorded 1961-67) have been "sneaked in". Now that much of Winkel's work is available on (excellent) CDs, there is even more scope for "confusion". Most of Winkel's material was recorded in Mono on 78 rpm, so the potential for misleading people is obvious. As you say, their style mimiced the earlier, but it was strictly called "Polizeimusik", as the more stiff, Prussian style was shunned until the Bundeswehr resumed it after 1956. The Winkel recordings were one of the earliest large sets to be recorded after the War. I like both pre-1945 and postwar music about equally, and I have a good ear (I would need to!). You are absolutely correct to expose this tendency, which unfortuately has become a habit with too many.

Ivan, thank you for drawing attention to this important aspect of the music forum. Panzergrenadierdivision (particularly active in the early 1960s), and their recordings "Westerwaldlied", "Schlesierlied" and "Ein Heller und ein Batzen".

Another band also commonly misused as Third Reich's is Musikkorps der 11.

Some of their tracks most commonly sold as Third Reich recordings are "Schön blüh'n die Heckenrosen" (a post-WWII march with a pre-WWII song), "Westerwald-Marsch" (another post-WWII march with a pre-WWII song) and "Das U-Boot-Lied" (with text modified for the 1958 movie "U 47- Kapitänleutnant Prien"). The scammers today only blur the sound a bit and voilà - there's a "Third Reich recording". Their recordings originate from the early 1950s and their style was very similar to the one of the Third Reich period. The band most commonly sold as a Third Reich performer nowadays is Musikkorps der Schutzpolizei, Berlin (led by Heinz Winkel). This brings me to an important subject, which is the false representing of post-WWII recordings as Third Reich's.
