John Kettler Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) If your ears are bleeding from hearing Panzer Lied too many times, and you don't care any more about Lilli Marlene and meeting her under a lamppost, here's the antidote, in a record of dazzling audio clarity. Besides, where are you ever going to find find the great song title Mit Bomben und granaten for a martial topic? Here's music to listen to while playing CM or maybe build into a scenario to share with your fellow addicts. Found this while trying to find the PG Lied.

Lucky_Strike Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks John, some reminiscing going on here ... Ahh ... Erika ... now, what film did that feature in? Cross of Iron? Das Boot? Haven’t quite started marching around the house, it is rather late after all, but have been playing along on the belly drum! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 "Erika" and "Lili" get used when I'm playing FB as the Germans. But, Charlie and his Orchestra fill all the music slots for BN, FI and RT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theforger Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Yorckscher Marsch, Der Hohenfriedburger, Preussischer Präsentier Marsch, Westerwald, Lore, Alte, Preussens Gloria along with the Panzerlied when playing FB or listening to Hapless or Mr Wales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Lucky_Strike, No joy so far in IDing the film/s "Erika" is in, but I did learn the title is both a common German female name and means heather, specifically, its flower. Lyrics follow in German and English. Belly drum, eh? Good one!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika_(song) Warts 'n' all, Who are Charlie and his Orchestra? theforger, That first title seems suspiciously English.

Having failed to stamp out "degenerate music" i.e. Jazz. Joseph Gob****e used Charlie to make propaganda tunes based on British dance band and US swing tunes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, you mean I’m going to have to rewatch all my war movies until I find Erika! He says out loud so as to distract Mrs Lucky_Strike form her latest Netflix binge watch. Who's Erika? She snaps back. Just some flower ... He mutters whilst firing up the Plex media server ... See you all in about a year when I finished the War category on my media server, maybe with the answer to Erika ... I did actually manage a bit of marching up and down the other night despite the late hour, shook the furniture a bit, but did it in my socks so not too noisy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Used in Schindlers List IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Strike Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks Erwin. Can’t see it listed in the soundtrack on IMDB, will have to watch it again, might be unlisted incidental music. I’m still thinking Das Boot but maybe in the very extended version ... Edited August 3, 2020 by Lucky_Strike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, any excuse to watch the fantastic original ... 8 hours ago, Sequoia said: Erika is also in The Mackenzie Break. I didn’t recognise the title, but realised I’ve seen this one many years ago, will have to hunt it down to rewatch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try the 6 part "Original Uncut Version", released in 2004 on DVD and 2014 on BluRay if you've seen the original or directors cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba883XL Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Love it. But getting sick of YouTube making stuff like this harder and harder to find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good heads up - I think I only have the Director’s Cut at the moment. I remember seeing the full series when it was originally shown on the BBC back in the 80’s - my Dad let me stay up extra late to watch it (gave him an excuse to watch it as well!). Doing a quick Wikipedia search I can see there is a kind of ultimate version disc set with just about everything on it, that should do nicely ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was rated fairly poor. I found it pretty boring and did not even manage to watch one complete episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
