You surprises me. Gedda was completely fluent in german. He lived as child six years in Germany and also went in school there. Not to mention that he has sung hundreds of German songs.
But the accent is deliberate! It was Gedda's trademark when performing this role! Danilo Danilowitsch is supposed to be a Slav... that's the whole point of the operetta. It's not a flaw. On the contrary, it shows off Gedda's phonetic skill.
have to learn this by heart for grade 7 next week... gulp...

Nevertheless he makes mistakes and his slavic accent is audible at once.

Yes, but here he sings the role of count Danilo Danilovitsch, a russian diplomat in The merry widow.
