| | Lili Marlene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | Based on a German poem of 1915, this song became a favorite of both German and American troops during the Second World War, both in English and in the original German. |
 | | A curious example of song transcending the hatreds of war, American troops particularly liked Lili Marlene as sung by the German-born actress and singer, Marlene Dietrich. |
 | | Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate, Darling I remember the way you used to wait, 'Twas there that you whispered tenderly, That you loved me, You'd always be, My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene. |
