German song Lili Marlene? |
Travel Info German song Lili Marlene? Travel Tips Lili Marlene was a song, wich was performed in germany by an artist called Lale Andersen in the time of WW II. It is said, that the troups of all nations stopped their fighting while this song was played on the radio. I think, that is a legend. In the 80s of the last century the german film artist Rainer Werner Fassbinder turned a film about the artist Lale Andersen. I saw it, it was quiet an impressing movie. Source(s): I麓m german. Other Travel Tips What exactly is your question? I know there is a song by this name. Marlene Dietrich recorded a version.
