The Second World War with Marlene Deitrich
THIS IS AN ANTI WAR VIDEO.
Footage taken from Tarrif.net
The original of this song is polish and it' s called 'Czy mnie jeszcze pamiętasz'..
Marlene wrote her own lyrics for this song and dedicated it to her mother.. If you know the story of her life you will understand what she wanted to say...
Marlene Dietrich recorded "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt" from "Der blaue Engel" -- probably her most famous song -- for the first time in Berlin in February 1930.
The record company, Electrola, either damaged or lost their master after the record's first pressing, because they asked Dietrich to re-record the song several weeks later, and used this second recording for most of their reissues. (The second version was issued under the same catalogue number as the first, but the matrix number was different).
This first version was recorded on 2 February 1930, with Dietrich accompanied by Friedrich Hollaender and his Jazz-Symphoniker.

This montage is dedicated to Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992), a prominent actress and a talented singer. As Ernest Hemingway put it, "If she had nothing more than her voice, she could break your heart with it". She was also the first woman who put on a tie and a tuxedo and proved that male clothes only serve to accentuate femininity.
Song: 'Ich Hab' Noch Einen Koffer in Berlin' by Marlene Dietrich (1960).
In 1929, Dietrich landed the breakthrough role of Lola-Lola, a cabaret singer who causes the downfall of a hitherto respected schoolmaster, in UFA's production, The Blue Angel (1930). The film was directed by Josef von Sternberg, who thereafter took credit for having "discovered" Dietrich. The film is also noteworthy for having introduced Dietrich's signature song "Falling in Love Again".
