1920s in Berlin: Dajos Béla - Wenn Ich die Blonde Inge, 1929

[Skwerrlly]

A people out of control always end up looking for someone to control them

[avginkel]

@Skwerrlly after being clobbered to national ruin with 6 million jobless living on the streets and a powerless government, a people no matter where will always look for any kind of leadership. Just jazzing up your knowledge of history ;-)

[Finnmarken91]

Brilliant!

[denkendekatze]

berlin is a roaring place today, too:)

[nyverdael]

It is! Still I would have liked to see the 20s there...

I have a special feeling for Dajos Béla, first because it is a native of my long time home, Kyiv, Ukraine, and secondly because his various orchestras produced an immense amount of great music. Finally, Bela, born Leo Golzmann, somehow managed to escaped the Hell that Germany became and died peacefully in Argentina. Would to God more of the great Weimar period musicians had been as clever or as lucky.

2:18........good jab at the nazi thugs!! they were grinding theyre rotten teeth at this one!!.........the best way to insult the enemy is to use theyre symbols!! the enemy just cant stand it!!........and believe me, nazis are still very much the enemy!!

[Memefag]

@acerb45666555 What? How is that insulting to nazis? I'm more of a nazi than anything else and I find nothing wrong with it.

Yeah, I'm sure nazis are the enemy. And I'm sure the jewish media didn't instill that message into your mind.

[acerb45666555]

@Memefag ..........Jewish media has nothing to do with how i think about the nazis. i talked to Germans themselves. they told me facts! and the most relevent fact is that Hitler was the worst enemy Germany ever had. that little corperate maniac ruined all Europe!

[acerb45666555]

@Memefag .....its like this. one day a bunch of dudes are sittin around drinkin beer and admiring theyre bikes, ...then, along comes this little guy, with a real loud mouth and a big attitude. a bossy troublemaker. the fucker cant sit still. always yelling in peoples faces and actin likes hes god!.................thats what Hitler was like! = heaven wont have him, and hell is afraid he'll take over!= Asshole of the universe!

I'm sure the legged swastika was a geat comfort to all those marched off to the creamtorium

[bokai77]

It's a poster from the film "Cabaret" with Liza Minelli. It's not of the period.

Forsooth!

Du lieber gott, wie biel zeit muss bis zu gehen der Berlin ist wiederhergestellter ursprünglicher platz? (Forgive my childish German, bitte.) The Berlin that my grandmother lived and grew up in (and lost, when she had to emigrate in 1932) was astonishing ... there's nothing like it today. Hearing this, along with my grandmother's 78s (which I've had put on CD), is exquisite. Even if I wasn't there, a part of me (my grandmother) was.

[goeddoek]

Don't mind your german. It's sweet and charming.

Yeah - you're right. Berlin must have been a special place those days. Sometimes I wish they had already invented a time machine ;-))

[polishsved]

but whose gonna notice :]]

[dzheger]

A charming chirpy and playful act. And the lovely photos go nicely with it; love especially the one with legged swastika.

Really enjoying your work 240252. I am a 3rd generation Pole here in the US of A.
