Another 11 nights to go!
At least, you can still get sentimental around Christmas. And you can admit what ails you. So today I am being sentimental. Perhaps it because of my worst fear – war. And because I always want to be strongly opposed to it …
..you get in today’s advent calendar:
Lale Andersen – with her soldiers‘ song “Lilli Marleen”
Perhaps even sader in two languages:
Marlene Dietrich in English
(Where Have All The Flowers Gone?)
and
Joan Baez in German
(Sagt Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind?)
Imagine war breaking out and nobody going there!
