[78-L] YMCA War Prisoners Aid American Radio Series for U.S. POWs in Germany

[Dan Van Landingham]

This is interesting.When were these recordings made?Were they part of the V Disc 
proramme?This is the
first I've heard of it.I first knew of V Disc by way of George T. Simon in his 
book on the big bands.I take
it these were broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio Network.I have a BMG two CD 
set of Glenn Mil-
ler's AAF band with him speaking phonetised German.These recordings were made 
just prior to Miller's
disapperance over the English Channel on 15 Dec 1944.

Similar to the recordings Marlene Dietrich made of popular songs in German 
translations for the OWI? Has anyone ever seen those? (Not the early 50s 
remakes with Mitch Miller, which can be misinterpreted as an issue of the 
originals.)
