As a Dutchman, I can say , we in Holland ,were in between UK and Germany.
I was born just after the war was over. I have always liked Zarah, as I liked other artists, from before my generation....people my age listened to beatmusic and popbands.I did too, but half of me liked the "old ladies" better, like Zarah Leander, Mae West, Eartha Kitt, Josephine Baker,Yma Sumac, etc. These were true originals and therefore were quality. Many immitated them ,but never gor to the same level.
she is swedish, ok, but she is something like ikone for us, i grew up with her, despite there are some questions! why the nazi support? maybe we are human-beings, with failures, that is life? sorry but i like her
She was a wonderful lady, 6000michael, and Germans are fabulous, too. It saddens me, as an Englishman, that we were dragged into two wars, when it is obvious we are a mirror of each other. Pity that Zarah's songs couldn't have made us both lay down our arms and become the friends we always should have been.
No, ilbacioditosca, but I will try; my feeling, still - at aged 70 - that what I say above is true, and that our two advanced and enlightened countries ought never to have taken the dubious bait and allowed ourselves to be sucked into a needless, avoidable war that would ultimately destroy the combined interests of our ancient Anglo-Saxon race, our complimentary culture and attendant aristrocratic dual identities...and cost the precious lives of three quarters of the epicurean seed of Europe.
The British gov't in 1914 was led by twits. If they would have stayed out of tje first war, that would have guaranteed that there wouldn't have been a second.
With respect, p6105, your comment is a simplification of something much deeper, more malevolent and far-reaching, which had been sewn into a secret agenda, pre-dating August 1914 by two decades. Sarajevo was no accident, rather it was part of a Bolshevik Grand Plan; one which was rumbled in 1910, in Sidney Street, London, as in Munich, in 1924, albeit six years after the Reds had set the world ablaze with an all-consuming hell-fire which wasn't to be extinguished until the end of the cold war.
Assuming everything you say is true, what's that got to do with England? The U.K. had no dog in the fight, no treaty obligation. Britain should have remained apart.
Would that you were right, p6105, I would be the first to agree with your simplfication of this conundrum, but history will tell you that Britain had a pact were her albeit eternally doubtful ally France, stating specifically that if the third signatory to said treaty (Poland), were
to come under attack from an outside power, then France, and by obligation, Britain, would come to her aid. Q.E.D. Many British appeasers opposed in vain the dubious plan to wage war on our Anglo-Saxon neighbour.
Your way is my way, mazze00; our two great countries having shed far too many tears, and lost too much blood - tilting at windmills, and chasing cynically-manipulated fearful spectres, to our ultimate dual detriment - that henceforth, with our swords turned into ploughshares, we must advance together into the European sunshine, with only peace, mutual fulfiment, enduring fellowship, genuine goodwill, and happiness in our hearts and on every horizon. We are one Volk; yesterday, now and forever !
@gerrygeorge1 : if the english had laid down their arms in ww 2 and listened peacefully to Zarah Leander Hitler would have walked all over europe and we would now all be saluting his legacy...sorry, but sometimes war is inevitable when faced by tyrants and their neuroses...I have nothing against germans and I even can understand artists not being heros in wartime like Leander (whose voice I quite like)but thank god your "mirror " was defeated!
Zarah Leander, a Swedish lady, Dirkdebruyne, whose career had always pivoted on Germany, sang for - in common with the Jewish Al Jolson, who espoused the American cause, as was his right, and Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn who as English artists, sang spurred-on the Allies - those people who knew her and were her fans. She was A-political, as witness her departure from Germany, when the going got tough, and the Fuhrer himself advised her to go, in 1943.
aber ironisch ist es doch. sie ist eine schwule ikone. hat sich immer mit schwulen umgeben und trotzdem hat sie sich von den nazis hofieren lassen, die uns vergast haben, wenn sie die chance hatten.
Good for you 6000michael; all beings on this planet - as equally attributable to Bolshevist mass-murderers, Chinese Red Revs, plus a whole host of other human being *failures* - the only reason for accountability where Germany was concerned being because they lost...and to the Victors the spoils, plus heaped-on post-war villifications, exaggerations and some downright lies. We all partook in excesses, you were not alone, and Zarah Leander was merely an A-political entertainer, and nothing more.
