  • Hitler's favourite song

  • Keep calm and carry on. :-)

  • Awww i love thus song

  • I bawled

  • I do not think the UK will ever have a unity like we had going through those wars, a big shame that in todays time we cannot even look at another person on a train without being ignored or even offered out for a fight. Does it really take a war as bad as what they had, to make people see, what a wonderful world and wonderful people we truly are?

  • ww2 not good hitler was a nasty man he was a corpral in ww1 and the boss off ww2. he was responsible for thousands of deaths he was the leader of the nazi

  • Nice. Thank you.

  • i love this women <3

  • I <3 Vera Lynn! I listened to this song a lot when my husband was in Iraq & it really brought me comfort! <3

  • whenever i think of wartime this song plays in the background of my mind.........................l­ol

  • Amazingly, Mrs Lynn is still alive and, at age 95, beautiful as ever.

  • @TheKnortel omg i never knew that lol

  • I never heard of Vera until I googled the date I was born and her song "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" was number 1 on the charts. I am a new fan. What a wonderful talent and beautiful person. She truly is part of the greatest generation.

  • Dr. Strangelove...

  • The Libertines.

  • this was played at my grandma's  funeral. Along with 'ding dong the witch is dead!"

    LOL JKs

  • Dr. Strangelove got me here!

  • just said my final goodbye to the love of my life..

    apparently we want different things and i cant give them to her :(

    im not sad it has ended, but happy and grateful that it happened.

    i know we will meet again, dont know where, dont know when, but we will meet again some sunny day... <3

  • @hendrixphish420 Just the way i feel... thanks

  • My Grandfather use to dance with Vera at the east end club!

  • Vera Lynn was a true hero of England. She went into Burma an entertained what was called the Forgotten Army. There were few big stars at the time who would venture into Burma.

  • I am so proud I have ben graced and honoured enough to not only shake hands with but serve two veterans of that bloody war in my short years. Almost consider it a medal in its own right these days.

  • This song played at the end of "Dr. Strangelove" with footage of atomic detonations. Terry Sothern knew what black humor was all about. I've always loved the movie....and the song.

  • "Gentlemen you can't fight in here this is the war room!"

  • I'm crying.

    God I love hetalia.

  • Vera Lynn was Awesome!!!

  • she is very photogenic she was soo beautiful her talent was extrodanairy!

  • Thank you for your kindness.

  • she is 95

  • It's beautiful. If you look at pictures Vera Lynn is still beautiful. Lovely.

  • This brings so many memories!! I was born in '44 and remember Mom, Grandma and Aunties singing together on a Saturday night. Mostly songs from the 40's and 30's. That's when songs brought quality to lives and brought us closer together!

  • Thx Dame Vera Lynn !

    We don t forget you. You stay in heart of french people too

    WW2 was a hard period for the world and english people was in first line and they fought with honnor and courage for freedoom. I was not born but this is a historic period that i likes reading and learning.

    Thank you from France and sry for my bad french english lol

  • One of my best friends is leaving for boot camp and then going into the Navy. Probably not going to get to hear much from him in the coming six years. Listening to this while thinking about him. Wishing you all the best Neonite!

  • this makes me cry and i luv world war 2 you guys who died you may rest in piece

  • Simply great in every sense of the word...May those who died in both world wars rest in peace...

  • "Mein Führer! I can walk!"

  • Dr. Strangelove.

  • whe will never fotget the time and vera

  • I should have been born in the mid 1930's because I love the old war music and entertainment. War is horrible, but, it generates some of the most passionate and real music ever. Vera Lynn is a great example of this. Thanks for sharing this video.

  • My grandad used to play this to us in his car.....not heard it for years!

  • OMG.. I cried all thru this damn thing just now... you can tell she sang this from the heart and meant it to reach all the men in war fighting all those horrible battles in WWII. Quality music and singers such as Vera Lynn, are the likes of which we'll never see or hear again. Thanks for posting this !

  • @kerryincolumbus The track was recorded for Decca on 28th September 1939, 25 days after the declaration of war. The only battle of the war at that point had been between Slovaks, Poles, and Germans. I doubt she had them in mind.

  • @jeselmira2 ... who the HELL ask you ? just go with it and stop being a BITCH

  • Beautifully done. I love the way you put all of the pictures together. 19geoffrey47, sorry about your mom. May her memory live on forever in your heart.

  • a beautifull song R.I.P to all the fallen <3

  • I lived in Oldham. England through WW11 / watched Doodlebugs / dodged all the bombs, this song brings back memories food rationing/clothes rationing/gas masks/cotton mills being bombed.you don"t know how good PEACE is

  • My Mother was 19 when WW2 began. She loved Vera Lynn's songs. She also liked to dance. So at Mum's funeral on 31/12/2011 we will be playing Vera Lynn singing this song, and a Victor Sylvester dance number ("Dancing With Tears In My Eyes"). Vera Lynn is one of the few singers I can name who can make a grown man cry with that voice of hers. She sings like she means it. Thanks Vera, from my Mum.

  • love it

  • 97 people are heartless people (I shant sully this video with swearing)

  • forgotten hope braoght me hear. i know you guys don´t care and that i miss spell

  • ...for me as german is it a wonderful song and i must always cry when i hear this song ...when we fight the amercan and british army it was so horrible in our company...in this big flak-tower

  • I think of "The wall" and "Dr Strangelove"

  • Greatest generation!!!.....I miss my grandpa...served 3.5yrs with the 3rd Infantry....RIP Grandpa, you are missed every year....since Jan 2001...

  • Very well done with the images. Thank you!

  • ALL HAIL WINSTON- YOU ARE A hero NEVER FORGET THE POWERFUL NATION GREAT BRITAIN!!!!

  • Im in my grandmother's kitchen listening to youtube songs. This came on through my favorites and she started to cry. I never new my grandfather because he died in WW2. Im a full grown man and now I am crying. Fuck...

  • I can walk!

  • somme sunny day 

  • All I can see in my mind's eye when I hear this song is the ending to Dr. Strangelove. This song is so touching, even still.

  • I was given this link today and am so thrilled to hear her voice again. I remember hearing her on the radio when I was a little girl in England. Technology is marvelous that we get to hear this artists all over the world.

    By the way, I just found Pink Floyd as well......

    BUt this? It is a jewel!!

  • Ah, bless music of the 40's. They knew how to sing relevant lyrics, and still have some fun.

  • We played this at my grandads funeral in December last year. Still miss him so much.

  • @tyronediego10

    same with my grandmother, but she only went on the 2nd dec 11.. funeral 9.. still wheeping.

  • I always loved her for her songs. And, we will meet again...., indeed

  • For my generation this is the end of Dr Strangelove. But as I was UK  born I can also see this at an airfield or base in UK or a patch in the Jungle of Burma . All places the singer played . Thank Dame Vera BRAVO ZULU

  • "Does Anybody Here remember Vera Lynn?

    Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?"

    -The song Vera from The Wall by Pink Floyd.

  • @Rorschach25739 I have always interpreted that line sadly. He sounds as if everybody has moved on, forgotten the horror and courage of the soldiers like his father who died and ISN'T coming back. It seems as if his childhood is all nostalgia nobody else recalls and a pretty lie (the song). Possibly part of his reason for rebelling and becoming the very thing his father died fighting (temporarily).

  • @Rorschach25739 Yes, Born in 1937 and knew about her later. I love England and her voice is so nostalgic and beautiful.

  • No matter where you come from, what you believe in, what color is your skin, what you look like or who you love, you are beautiful and this song is beautiful. Enjoy it.

  • I basically can't listen to this without weeping uncontrollably...

  • @MrFrost227 makes the two of us...

  • Thumbs up if your economics teacher sent you here!

  • @danum442 Remember what?

  • we used this song at my grandads funeral yesterday xx

  • @McShiat The song is one of the most famous songs of the Second World War era, and resonated with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts. The assertion that "we'll meet again" is optimistic, as many soldiers did not survive to see their loved ones again. Indeed, the meeting place at some unspecified time in the future would have been seen by many who lost loved ones to be heaven.

    dick.

  • @chezwez123 ... if you say so

  • @chezwez123 Well put. From inspiring us to defeat Hitler to making us laugh (nervously) at the end of Dr. Strangelove, this song has served many purposes.

  • @chezwez123im portuguese, portugal didnt declare war to japan but the japanese trops invade TIMOR a portuguese colonie annd my grandfather s father did guerrilha and whit 100 men s 70 portuguese and 30 australian , my and he sayd that the australians had a single radio that cathed one time that music from australia.

    MY grandfather father sayd "i never eard a beutiful voice like that" he remember the exat location, day and hour when he eard , 1943 abril 17

  • @McShiat Boggles my mind how you interpreted that meaning from this song. First guess is drugs. Only looked up this ridiculous comment because the top comment explaining the real significance of this song addressed you as a dick. Ha. Anyways, back to watching "guy sticks head up girls ass" and "HOLY SHIT CATS".

  • @ilynnad yh dude I got alot of MLP videos too but i don't put em in my faves... How 'bout you make a prejudice joke about my name I was expecting that too, anyway seems like nobody today gets the meaning of "Interpretation". I would quote one but obviously I lack the brain to do so. I'm going back to my stupid videos. Thanks for showing me once more why it is going down with our civilization. And good luck to you!

  • @McShiat Also pretty sure Vera Lynn was not singing about the rampant consumerism of our materialistic and exuberant culture which you think is causing the declining of our civilization back in 1939 while she was rationing her food in order to feed the troops. But you know, to each his own. Maybe you are right and Vera Lynn prophesized the world we line in today! Or maybe not.

  • @ilynnad Now we're getting somewhere constructive critizism one of the most lacking virtues. After what I've read I'm pretty sure I was wrong but still, an opinion's an opinion right? Because you seem to be one of the last people on youtube to be able to have a real disscussion w/o the word "Dick" or any other extremity, I bid my farewell. And hope you don't loose your attitude.

  • 96 stupid people!

    

  • my name is Vera Lol

  • If only Europe remembered......

  • thy never for get

  • we'll meet again some sunny day keepm smiling through like you always do

  • @TheOdin12 Wait, are you serious? Are you a veteran?

  • first time we heart was in a trench when we fought ..(i'm german)

  • das erste mal als wir das gehört haben war 1944 in nem schützengraben...haben uns ergeben tjaja

  • This just made me cry. What has happened to the heart and soul of music in general? All the songs of the days of old seemed to lift your heart, make you cry, make you laugh, or simply make you smile. Most of the music of today just makes me MAD! Thanks for posting this!

  • Was Played at my Nan's Funeral

    RIP Nan, Been almost 2years but I think of you everyday and miss you so much. Love you for ever Xx

  • sentiments mean a lot to me personally and a lot of people. i did not like getting an add between me and the songs memories. whatever the add was i would not buy the product and associate the company with bad tast and probably to young to understand. perhaps thats just as well if you can only get that understanding through experience.

    just shared it with a missing person but only in being far away. tear tear

  • I learnt the words to this song in primary school, I loved it!

  • Oh how I love this song!

  • 95 people wanted to live in the underground society with 10 females to each male

  • My nana died this afternoon. This was her favourite song. Thank you for this high quality version. This is beautiful :)

  • Hellboy! :D

  • this was played at my nans funeral :(

  • Listening to this while reading Strophes pour se souvenir by Aragon... totally breaks my heart.

  • Thanks for this. Always makes me cry.

    Thinking of what was happening, the terrible loss of life, the innocents. The brave men and women, the ships, the planes, on all sides. A titanic struggle. What a tragic history we all have.

    Thank you Dame Vera. Unforgettable. Loved.

    And thanks for posting, with the incredible photos, most of which i had never seen.

    -Bill in canada

  • @neko3349 Saddest fanfic...

  • Loves this song :) Vera Lynn ! :D

  • (I totally mean it. KEEP ON GOIN', VERA! \o/ :D)

  • A HITMAKER FROM 1938 TO 2009, HER CAREER IS OLDER THAN MOST OF YOUR GRANDPARENTS. FUCK YEAH VERA LYNN! \o/

  • Hard to watch this and listen to the words being sung, great song but heart wrenching at the same time. My father-in-law is 93 and went through this. God bless all our active and inactive, and bless the families of those who didn't/don't make it home!

  • The fanfic "We'll Meet Again" made me adore this song...

  • @lightwolf865 Same here! Now this song is on my mp3, and a funny mix of happiness and sadness gets me everytime I hear it.

    Lovely song!

  • @LadyOfNargothrond It really is :')

  • @lightwolf865 Agreed. C:

  • @lightwolf865 Glad I'm not the only one :D

  • I love this :) <3

  • Here is to my old frien Gene Vallery who served in WWII - Bless you - here or in heaven.

  • She does have a voice of an angel. She was such a lovely person. Mankind will miss her deeply.

  • @blackfrank32

    Vera Lynn is still living and making occasional public appearances at age 94. No need to miss her yet as she hasn't gone anywhere.

  • So sad, so true, so dying out of life with a smile on your face. Love against fear, compassion over fear.

  • 94 people didn't meet Vera again

  • This song is very pretty and moving. 

  • such a lovely song!

  • The 94 people who disliked this video are Nazi sympathizers!

  • Mein Führer! ...I can walk! *World ends*

  • @flyforce16 Dr Strangelove ! :D

  • @flyforce16 "there will be much time and little to do."

  • @flyforce16 i dont get it can you tell me the joke?

  • @cinnomonsinner

    Have you ever watched the movie "Dr. Strangelove"?

  • @LordBelial2223 no :o

  • @cinnomonsinner

    "Mein Fuhrer! I can walk" is a quote from that movie. As soon as Dr. Strangelove says that the world ends and this song starts playing.

  • @LordBelial2223 that's sad. 

  • voice of an angel

  • What a beautiful song :(

  • "Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?"

  • @iwantsmoney Vera! Vera! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

  • I have no relatives who died under the war nor did my family have anything to do with the war, but this did touch me deeply and I am about to cry!

  • @frikadellur me too

  • i love this song my grandad had it played at his funeral RIP :'( xx

  • It's the anthem of hope for World War II, but would apply to any war. I was a teenager during that war - just missed fighting in it. Whenever I'd feel sorry for myself I'd think of all those young men getting killed, and realize how minor my worries were. Vera Lynn's voice echoes hauntingly through the years.

  • MEIN FUHRER! I CAN WALK!

  • This song was played at my grandfathers funeral. He died on 4 may 2011. 

  • Wonderful song!! and,... Very very moving Photo's!!! Wow!! What an era!!!

  • That music should be epic in a Fallout game. Am I right !?

  • @Scalfy28 Absolutely! Fallout has a whole lot of people being 'lost' trying to find where they belong. This song is a long-time-waiting "Welcome Home!".

  • I will play this on World war 3. e__e

  • "But all the sacrifices we must make before the end."

    Such a beautiful lady.

    I love the reference to Vera Lynn in the Kink's 'Mr Churchill Says,' probably the greatest rock song written about WWII. From the album Arthur (1969).

  • I got to sing this to my great-grandfather, who fought under General Patton in the 3rd Army 67th Infantry Battalion. It was the first and only time I saw him cry.

  • All I can think of while listening to this song is mushroom clouds.

  • Dr Strangelove!!!!

  • God how brave men and women sung this song to people they would never see again. Beautiful song. Thanks for posting

  • Say Where in the Hell Is Major Kong

  • Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day...

  • @lonkny That's right lonky. just bought roger waters the wall tickets.

  • What a very beautiful song.

  • I love this song. I had a dream and It was on the background. It's weird, but idc. Don't you guys have musical dreams ?

  • @TheMeriamk Never but sounds awesome

  • futurama was the first place i heard this song, in the episode with fry's dog, but i think it was much more fitting in dr. strangelove, i completely forgot about this song until i saw a random johnny cash cover version of this song

  • @evilengland2001 yeah lol, Futurama brought me here too.

  • For myself, the movie 'Dr stangelove' was the first time I heard this. So many feelings evoked by this :-). Good set of shots, I like +1.

  • This song has so much meaning for me. And when listening to it, it makes me smile. And think of all of those friends or even family that have had to go away. But I know "I will meet again". :-)

  • I love this song .... !!!
