[Milsurplus] Somewhat OT: WW2 Stories

[Hue Miller]

What was i looking for, when i found this?  Oh yes- i was looking for 
a place to buy the CD "Soldatensender Belgrad", which is, as i so
far understand, a recreation of a WW2 broadcast by this German
Armed Forces radio station - recorded with original recordings, and
under the guidance of surviving original staff. ( I found i  also wanted
to avoid buying it from one of the "neo Nazi supplies"  vendors  on 
the Net....)  This station popularized the broadcast song
"Lili Marlene" but as i seem to have read, the song was considered
too depressing by the German Propaganda Ministry to be allowed to
be broadcast in-country. However the Belgrad station was widely heard
thoughout Europe and North Africa at night.  But anyway, i did also find
this site, and if perhaps like me, you cannot get enuff of WW2 stories,
this might prove a quite interesting collection of anecdotes:

I found it also interesting that his previous online effort he had to close
because of the bad guys - the malicious hackers out there who don't 
know what freedom is.

Maybe it is also the case that someone you know has a great story or
two that really should be preserved, not allowed just to fade away 
forgotten. I know that is true for me.

Not my intention to start an off-topic string of messages here on these 
groups. I just wanted to provide what i thought was an interesting lead
to investigate. -Hue Miller
