Great album, thanks a lot !
You are welcome!
Wie das Horst-Wessel-Lied mit "leftist political beliefs" zusammen geht, würde mich mal interessieren. Tauchte mehrfach auf Milva-Compilations auf. Sie war wohl nicht gut beraten.
This version of 'Horst Wessel Lied ' - the notorious nazi anthem, was a parody written by Bertolt Brecht in the 1940s as ''Kälbermarsch'. It was translated into Italian by Gino Negri, and performed by Milva as part of her 'Libertà' album, released to mark 20 years since the end of WWII.
Thank you, I did not know that. I have seen this song on the tracklist of several low-budget-compilations. But it was never indicated that it was a parody. Good to know.
And thanks for your work! Wonderful Blog, a labour of love!
Thanks a lot for your interest. Best wishes!
