Charlie and his Orchestra - Goody Good

Quick video I put together, using songs from 1942 from the Axis side.
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 NSDAP 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 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.

Das war ein Deutsches Propaganda Swing Orchester um die Moral der Engländer und Amis zu schwächen.... was man ja am Text hört aber wie se gespielt haben war einfach genjal....

Absolutely spectacular!! :) I'm a lover of that old classic swing and jazz! These gems are lost treasures that we should preserve for the generations to come. *^_^*
