[Milsurplus] Somewhat OT: WW2 Stories

[J Forster]

There is a section on the RoyalSignals site:

www.RoyalSignals.org.uk

with a number of WW II radio broadcasts that might be of interest.

  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
