Thank you for your service to our countery.
Glenn's AFF music show (in German) is out on CD (LaserLite, I believe) I mean, I was shocked when Johnny D started to sing in German (wer wußte?) [LaserLite has many GM recordings obtained from the AAF archives, most likely to save on royality fees. Very interesting look at WWII music, schratchs and all : ) ]

The theme was - give up and go to home, hearth and family. It was broadcast on MW and SW. Early psyops, no doubt.

H*ll, I got all broke up and I sit here in Alaska 50 years after the fact.
BTW, understanding the German language helps when listening to the old recordings.

Ah Ha Found it - RCA also has 'em
From the RCA site...
"The Lost Recordings is a collection of those ABSIE programs. The original metal recordings were lost during the 1980s, hence the title, and what is heard here is a taped copy of those recordings made in the 70s. The sound quality is still good, but the limitations of the technology of the day are evident in places. Still, it should by no means discourage you from enjoying the CD set. Some of the songs offered here are new to Miller's repertoire, and the more familiar tunes benefit from the enhancements of an all-star line-up and a classical string section.

Included on the CDs are some of the introductions to particular songs, in which Miller speaks English to host Ilse Weinberger's German. Miller, on occasion, tries his hand at German, much to the amusement of his peers. At one point, he eggs on Johnny Desmond to introduce his next number in German. ''It's easy to say,'' chirps Miller, who then proceeds to stumble through the title himself. Many of the vocals during these programs were in German also, Johnny Desmond doing a nice job of pronouncing the language. It is interesting to hear many standards of the day sung in Deutsche. Although the decision to sing ''Mary's a Grand Old Name'' in German strikes me as a bit unusual. "


LaserLite is a inexpensive brand found in "discount box stores" Keep an eye out, a great way to have a super music library at low cost.

Hoo-ah
