Spring of 2010 is the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Occupation, Dunkirk, the Blitz etal. No mention of all this at all on American news just as a remembrance. Anything about these events on
European news?

Qui es-tu, "vertxxgg", pour juger, 65 ans plus tard...? Les artistes, comme les autres, devaient "trouver à bouffer"! Facile de juger aujourd'hui à la lueur de ce qu'on sait de cette période.
Cela reste un magnifique tango superbement interprêté, merci, 240252

A lot of French songs were recorded during the nazi occupation. Much of them are melancholic and sad but it's difficult to find a hidden meaning. You should hear some songs of Georgius, who was a very good parodic singer, and try to find translations of their so funny texts, which sometimes lie close to the actuality.

Ce n'est pas parce qu'il a chanté sous l'Occupation qu'il a eu des accointances avec la LVF... Avez-vous des sources ?

This song was recorded during the nazi occupation of Paris 1940-1944. Does this song
have a hidden meaning.?. Was André Claveau
active in the resistance?
