Willy Berking - Abendsonne (1943)

Das war kein herrliches Land, sondern ein verbrecherischer Staat, und an den Verbrechen beteiligte sich der Großteil der Bevölkerung. Und man kann hören, dass diese "deutschen" Big Bands nicht annähernd so gute Musik machen, wie die Big Bands vorher, an denen jüdische Mitbürger etc. beteiligt waren. Bis heute leidet die Kultur unseres Landes in allen Bereichen am Verlust so vieler Künstler durch den Holocaust. Wir sind heute nicht annähernd auf dem Niveau der Zeit vor 1933.

@@semsemeini7905 stolen? Karlsbad/Karlove Vary was built to its glory by the Austrian Monarchy (ethnic germans) and since it is and was very close to the german border it was inhabited by mostly ethnic germans until the communist took over power in Czechoslovakia and forced all germans tp leave.

[@ember-brandt]

Which war? Lol between the two world wars, at least, Germany was ravaged from the Great War and in a seriously deep depression. That's how Hitler could prey on them so easily. They were desperate for hope and leadership.

[@KoniginSeondeokdieGroevonSilla]

Karlsbad, Marienbad, Franzenbad sind nicht mehr so schön, dort leben fast nur Tschechen, Slowaken, Ziegeunern, Vietnamesen, Hua Chinesen, vor den Vertreibungsholocaust haben dort nur Deutschen gelebt! Das sind alte Deutsche Städte wie Prag, Brünn, Reichenberg, Eger. Die Tschechen haben diese Städte hässlich gemacht. Die Deutschen sind wie die Franzosen und Italiener ein Kulturvolk, bauen die schönsten Städte auf. Auch Prag war sehr deutsch, die Kultur haben Tschechen aufgenommen!

[@schroeder.hannover]

@@KoniginSeondeokdieGroevonSilla Ganz recht, das lässt sich überall im ehemaligen Deutschen Osten erkennen, all das was sich unsre Vorfahren über Jahrhunderte aufgebaut haben, wurde von den slawisch und baltischen Völkern gestohlen. Genannt seien dabei noch Pressburg, Laibach, Danzig, Breslau, Riga, Talinn und natürlich auch Stockholm, wenn auch nicht slawisch besetzt.

Germany 0 points - aleman 0 poins :-) But until the 70ies of some cultural relevance. The fun was always that points were distributed due to national animosities which had nothing to do with the quality of the music.

[@Deutschlandsender]

Yes, it is From 1939.

[@aniger33334]

Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) was NEVER really German. It was a part of Austria until 1918/19, and then belonged to Czechoslovakia.

[@petertaylor3600]

And in 1995 absolutely nothing had changed from the way it was in 1939. Magic!

[@petertaylor3600]

I may be wrong, but I think it was called Karlsbad under German occupation during the war. Afterwards it resumed it's Czech name of Karlovy Vary.

[@poptropicano31]

Karlsbad had its German name long before the German occupation of the Sudetenland, which, by the way, had been inhabited by Germans for hundreds of years, until they were brutally expelled and dispossessed after the war. To quote Wikipedia: "From as early as the second half of the 13th century onwards these Bohemian border regions were settled by ethnic Germans," Also, look at this map: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Austria_Hungary_ethnic.svg

[@petertaylor3600]

It was, before WW2 part of Czechoslovakia and was called Karlovy Vary. I learnt that during German occupation it reverted to Karlsbad which it had been for centuries The expulsion of Sudetenland Germans, who were past masters of the crystal and glassware industry, made famous for its quality and beauty, was in retaliation for the collaboration with Germany during the war. It was foolish from their point of view because when they went they took the skills they were known for, with them and it's never been the same. Even recently, if driving through those Sudetenland villages, there are still deserted and abandoned houses, vacant from that time. .

[@poptropicano31]

Peter Taylor True, the areas from which Germans were expelled had been some of the wealthiest in Bohemia. Today, they continue to be some of the poorest.

[@lawrencelewis8105]

Are they driving a Volkswagen?

[@michaelhohf9634]

Yes

[@juppsalchert7264]

They are driving a VW38, one of a small series of completely hand-made cars that were manufactured as prototypes to large-scale production of the KdF car, later to be known as the Volkswagen Beetle.

[@becconvideo]

@@juppsalchert7264 the problem was that in 1939 when almost everyone including my forefathers had ther saving book full of stamps the war started and the Volkswagen plant im Wolfsburg spew out military Jeeps "Kübelwagen" for the next 5 years. I believe that those lucky enough to be in the (not yet golden) West managed to get a rebate on their Beetle in the 50ies.

[@Hunkiralyfi]

Nazi music? Not bad...

[@zuutlmna]

Just it's just barely half a notch up from rap and hood-hop?

[@becconvideo]

Not Nazi music. No propaganda lyrics, no marching soldiers. The Volkswagen was a Nazi project - this is true and the images are taken from a promotional film for the car (and for buying savings stamps to buy one). But even this doens't contain any ideology. Be fair.

[@Hunkiralyfi]

@@becconvideo In 1943 there was Nazi dictatorship in the Third Empire. Everything was controlled by the Nazi leadership in 100%. Also the culture. What means that only "Nazi" culture, music, show was allowed. So if something was allowed it was allowed by the Nazi censorship, because it was considered Nazi compatible. To be fair...

[@Hunkiralyfi]

@@becconvideo Otherwise you have right. I don't like liberal or left extremity that considers everything bad what is related to Hitler or Nazism. There were also good things related to Nazism or to Hitler. Not because it's related to Nazism or Hitler, but because it was good in itself. For example the Nazis considered the health of youth people important from the point of view of national security. So a lot of educative and sport activity were held. The Nazi ideology was also propagated - what is bad - but the idea of a healthy young generation is not a bad thing even if the Nazis supported the idea. Look at the young people of the US, Europe today! There are a lot of fat person among them. Most of them does not move enough. Most of the young people watch TV or use the PC/telephone for half a day. But eat more than those who work hard. Yes, the health of young people should be important - even without Nazi ideology. It's very useful to separate good from bad, and to not reject generally "Nazi" things. Also the music is a good example.

[@becconvideo]

@@Hunkiralyfi nazi and communists (aka socialists put the "common good" above the individuals. And because there is no such thing as a common good - the government takes this part and decides what should be and what not and finally who has the right to live and who not. That's why in all socialist systems people suffer.
