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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
...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
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 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.
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
@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).
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sry but this song is not in the slightest about war. It's about the way people life, because they don't care about the generations after them they just look for themselves. Like it happens today with the world nobody gives a damn about the waste and so on, because WE won't have the problem our children or grand children or even further will.
@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.
@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 To Interpret: to explain or tell the meaning of (from Websters). Your interpretation: "this song is not in the slightest about war. It's about the way people life, because they don't care about the generations after them they just look for themselves"? Prejudice: preconceived judgement or opinion (again, Websters). I judged you based on the videos you seem to like the best and your idiotic comment. You don't need a brain to quote a definition, just google. 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.
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!
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
Though i have never these people in the pictures, I would like to think that, by extension of my grandfather who served in wwII, That i do in fact know these people.
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.
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!
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.
@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!".
"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.
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
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". :-)

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!

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.

"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.

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.

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).
