Charlie & His Orchestra - You're Driving Me Crazy German Nazi WWII Propaganda Music

1931 - Listen to the lyrics.......Songs Of Yesteryear (German Nazi WWII Propaganda Music) The Germans changed the lyrics to popular songs of the day.
Charlie and his Orchestra (also referred to as the "Templin band" and "Bruno and His Swinging Tigers") were a Nazi-sponsored German propaganda swing band. Jazz music styles were seen by Nazi authorities as rebellious, but ironically propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels conceived of using the style in shortwave radio broadcasts aimed at the United States and particularly the United Kingdom.
British listeners heard the band every Wednesday and Saturday at around 9 pm. The importance of the band in the propaganda war was underscored by a BBC survey, released after World War II, which indicated that that 26.5 percent of all British English listeners had, at some point, heard programmes from Germany.
The Propaganda Ministry also distributed their music on 78 rpm records to POW camps and occupied countries.
The purpose of the band was to stir pro-Nazi sympathy, draw attention to World War II Allied losses, convince listeners that Great Britain was a pawn for American and Jewish interests, and carry German dictator Adolf Hitler's messages in an entertaining form. The songs stressed how badly the war was going for the target audience, and how it was only going to be a matter of time before they would be beaten.
