@maggytec it's the "wagramer grenadier march". it is still played in the austrian military to remember the battle of wagram, in which austrian forces inflicted heavy casualties to napoleon. although he won the battle and the war, it was the first time that napoleon had lost many men on a battlefield.
THANK YOU Jamiep84- I knew you'd one day add to this incredibly valuable history on radio! ANY further entries you can make, especially WW2 German broadcasts will be very treasured!!
Very interesting! In France, it's the radio station "Radio-Cité" which broadcasted in live the entrance of the German troops in Austria during the first hours of Anschluss.
does anybody know the name of the march played around 5:20?
