The history of the song, Lili Marleen, is full of contradictions. A German composer set a poem born of the trenches of the First World War to music, and a German woman enamored of a Jew provided the voice that would make those verses famous. And oh, did I mention a natural-born German but Nazi-hating actress singing it both in German and English but rooting for the enemy? Mix all these things together and you have the making of a musical piece for all ages bound to break through all cultural and even ideological barriers. Broadcast just before 10 o'clock each night by a military radio station, Lili Marlene united and gave hope to the distraught and persecuted of all Europe.
The world was cruelly divided into two irreconcilable camps, but Lili Marleen traveled across all frontiers and war zones, moving within an ambiguity that flouted norms - it was a product of the Third Reich sung by English and American soldiers, too. Unlike traditional wartime compositions, Lili Marleen is about the harshness of the conflict and about saying farewell to one's nearest and dearest with no promise of future peace and happiness. From the book, Lili Marlene: The Biography of a Song by Rosa Sala Rose. The song you are now listening to was sung by Lale Andersen who first recorded it in 1939.

• The Extraordinary stor... Another superbly done story of the song, "Lili Marleen," covering 2 world wars and beyond. Quite accurate and informative account of the history of the song.

Creator and credit goes to Michael Foley.

The first person who sung Lili Marleen was a little Swedish girl named Lale Andersen when she was working in a night club in Berlin in 1939. At that time, nobody paid attention either to Lale or to the song. Their first real appearance was in the spring of 1941, Radio Belgrade. "This is Radio Belgrade. Transmitting for the first time in German," said the announcer. He continued by saying, "And now to end our first broadcast, Lili Marleen sung by Lale Andersen." And the rest, as they say, is history. Indeed, one of the most wonderful songs ever written. Thank you for watching.
