During 1941 this European city was captured by **** German forces and the powerful national radio station was put into service as a Soldatensender or in English "soldiers radio station" This capital city's station covered much of Europe and the Mediterranean area including North Africa. Due to a shortage of records, they often played this one song a lot, and always signed off with this special song at 10:00PM. This song (originally performed by Lale Anderson) was well loved by Axis and Allied soldiers alike. Many tuned in their communications radio sets at the end of a long day just to hear this song. What was the name of the city with its National radio transmitter commandeered by the ****'s and what was the name of the song they signed off each day with until the city was liberated?
Those of you that may not have ever even heard the name of the song, have heard it a hundred times in every old WWII movie where soldiers are depicted gathered around listening to a radio in a jeep or tank. Especially old scenes of Germans in North Africa. All will be peaceful in the night, radio softly playing, with Axis soldiers smoking cigarettes and talking among themselves just before allied soldiers launch their raid.
