This one had been sitting at 90% completion since about December, I just did not have the time. Hopefully this summer their will be quite a few more coming. I also have footage from Arlington I took in October that I might still use...
In fact some of the Nazis in Hitler's entourage including Goebbels liked Jazz.A number indulged in private.Believe it or not Goebbels was very fond of George Gershwin's music !
Also of interest. German Night Fighters (the planes that went after the British Bombers) often featured a pair of auto cannons mounted behind the pilot and firing over his head, intended to hit the belly of a bomber. The German term for these mounts? "Schräge Musik" (Jazz music) since Schräge literally means "slanted" or "bent". The Japanese used a similar mounting (probably parallel evolution). They did not have a nickname for them as far as known. Some modern gamers refer to them as "Kabuki guns" since the roots of Kabuki (the Kabu part) also mean "bent" and "angular" (due to the highly-stylized acting involved).
Eva Braun liked to dance and modern speedy music was often played. Young men of the staff were skilled dancers to join. Using record players. Adolf was not into this and too busy with his military anyhow. Seems that in April 1945 there have been parties with music and drinks thrown in the demolished Reichskanzlei just to enjoy life before all will be over.
Gernany did also have à strong nightlife tradition that had continud through the Nazi era. There is a website featuring swing music of era, mostly top moth.
Fascism and National Socialism are not afraid to contradict themselves or be inconsistent. They are ideologies of power and action rather than words or concepts. Part of why they are so elusive when it comes to definition. "I will decide who is a Jew!" Hermann Göring allegedly said (although perhaps quoting Vienna mayor Karl Lueger) about Erhard Milch whose father was Jewish and mother not therefore making him a mischling (mixed) by law but who was basically second in command of the Luftwaffe or German air force after Göring himself anyway. Göring stopped Gestipo investigations into his bloodline by getting his mother to say that she cheated on Milch's father with her own uncle and that the uncle was the real father (yes, apparently this was considered more acceptable 😂).

Most of the lyrics are garbage but the music is first rate! Put your ear filters on, ignore the words, and enjoy the music.
God bless
