I think I'd had too much beer when I wrote those...that was a long time ago because not had any for 3 years. It's easy to forget, cut and paste imagery. Lilly Marlene always gets connected with Marlene Dietrich. Because of that it always gets connected with Blue Angel but is a famous song in its own right. It was written in German during WW1 and became the most popular song among all nations during WW11. More than anything its a soldiers song. D Day Dodgers is a song that should be remembered because one day, though history lessons teach us the causes, the campaigns and the outcomes, the lads themselves will be forgotten. Nancy Astor ones infamously said that those serving in Italy had dodged France. The above comments were in some way saying it's already lost because later generations have captured just the iconic Marlene.
