Off topic but we thought it might interest some listers who have connections. Chris and Caroline Please pass this message on to anyone you may know who might be interested or know where to find veterans to whom it may apply. I have been Contacted by a certain Mr. George Magnus in the UK. The late Lale Andersen, who some may know was the original singer of the German Version of Lili Marlen, was his Grandmother. Hello This is a real long shot on behalf of my mother Carmen-Litta Magnus who is one of Lale Andersen's two surviving children. You'll be aware that Lale was the original singer of Lili Marlene. My mother is very keen to trace anybody still living who met Lale when she visited London in 1950 as a guest of the 8th Army. My mother is assisting the German producer of a forthcoming television documentary series entitled "Legends". The producer Britta-Susann Lubke is based in Bremen. She will willingly travel to the UK to meet and interview anybody who can legitimately claim to have met Lale back in 1950. Further to our recent correspondence, I have just heard from Britta-Susann Lubke who tells me that "the deadline for shooting this interview would be end of September". Britta also informs me that she is anxious to interview any British serviceman "especially in the 7th Brigade, the Desert Rats" who can recount the moments when the song Lili Marleen was broadcast. Tall order eh?! Once again, many thanks for your interest and help. George can be reached in the UK under tel. No.: 01284 388344 or via e-mail george.magnus @ btopenworld.com Also I will take and forward any on-group Answers to him if required. Please pass on to your reunion or history groups, local RBL or other Ex Servicmen/women clubs, and groups etc., -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
