WHAT A WONDERFUL SONG AND HER VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL , VERY BITTER SWEET , BUT ALL I CAN THINK OF IS THE NAZI HUN KICKING IN DOORS AT NIGHT AND PULLING PEOPLE OUT OF BED TO TAKE THEM TO THEIR DEATH . THE SWINE , POOR PARIS VIVE LA FRANCE
The melody is lovely. I wonder how it sounded with German lyrics. Forgive me for this next statement...."Hitler looks like a tourist. What a bizarre photo!"
lol Yah he does look like a tourist. Except he owns the country for the next 4yrs. Then later his suicide & the end of ww2. And begin the rise of the Cold War....shit keeps going and going...
The pics of Hitler in Paris were taken on a very early morning in June, 1940, just after the Germans beat France and occupied Paris. There weren´t any people on the street at that hour. As a frustrated architect, Hitler wanted to tour Paris and see the main attractions.
The Chrysler Building in NYC, which in turn was surpassed by the Empire State Building shortly after.
There is a funny story about the Eiffel Tower and Hitler. Just before the Germans entered Paris, the French cut all lift cables in the tower to ensure that he would have to climb the tower by foot. When Hitler arrived at the tower in the pic that you see, he declined to climb any of the stairs. So it was said that Hitler conquered Paris, but never the Eiffel Tower. Vive la France! :-D
The title, and the juxtaposition of the beautiful music and the horror-evoking photos are an excellent comment on the reality that good and beauty dwell next to evil and ugliness. Certainly to unimaginable degree then.
Wonderful tune and singing; it is quite enchanting. Perhaps we should forget about the political issues back then and just think of the everyday life, they also had in Paris in `41. When I read Ernst Jünger`s Paris diaries of that year, Strahlungen, I meet real people.
Paris escaped destruction twice during WW2, once in 1940 on Hitler´s orders to spare the city, and then in 1944 when the German command decided to declare Paris an Open City and surrender it to the Allies without fighting. There were some sporadic killings in the city, but the surrender was peaceful on the whole. Germans loved Paris too much to let it destroyed.
Lovely song, but I fear you're going to catch some
flack about this upload. Not about Vichy France, but about why you call the song Nazi Tango. Most people have problems, as you know, with irony and wit.

Cute performance.
Politically, allow me to state that neither George W. Bush nor Barack H. Obama were born at the time it was recorded.

when was that tower in paris built? I'm just curious..
gravelandx88 4 years ago
The Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889, curiously the year Adolf Hitler was born. Till 1930 it was the tallest structure in the world.
