Germain Air Service Songs
Just ran across this site with military music.
http://www.reichslieder.com/Luftstre...ing_songs.html Q: Isn't it a bit incongruous for an air force to have marching songs?  |

I accept the Graf Zeppelin march but the others have nothing to do with flying!
 Neither the "Immelmann Marsch" nor the "Marsch der Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung 6" is on this CD!

A Bavarian NCO told a future Saxon ace in 1914: "A pilot who is not able to march orderly is nothing worth there out in the field!"

Nice things to wear, hear and buy...
An ''interesting'' website indeed - or is there anyone here with the wish to buy one of these T-Shirts (especially item #0461T on the third page) offered by the same website?
http://www.reichslieder.com/reichsli...shirts_51.html Maybe your children will like these ones? http://www.reichslieder.com/reichsli...osters_44.html Or would you like to have your morning coffee in one of these mugs? http://www.reichslieder.com/reichslieder_mugs_3.html But if you only want to support someone... http://www.reichslieder.com/HIAG.html Hey, its your choice!

But really... Do you think those mugs are actually "high quality" ceramic... or are they just saying that to sell mugs? LOL
Not my syle, really... Now, if they had Kriegsmarine mugs, or donations to the old sailors society, count me in (Sorry, I'm an old Navy man). "Prost!" |

I've been finding quite a bit of popular music in English during WWI, but not much on the Axis side. Does anyone have any links to sites that have anything other then marching music, or was that the problem... the arts were so completly crushed that that type of music would not have been allowed?
Any comments or information? |

The Axis? That is a WW2 term!
Germany and its allies were called the "Central Powers" in WW1! Arts crushed in Germany? There are some well known soldiers' songs (a lot of them also used in WW2), but I don't know any popular music songs though, although there surely must be some out there. Jan
