Popular with both the German and Allied WWII troops, and first issued under the title “Lied eines Jungen Wachtpostens” (Song Of A Young Sentry), this recording by the German singer-songwriter became one of the more historically significant commercial music discs ever made.

The fascinating and complex tale behind the song--and this version in particular-- is interestingly related in the 2008 book “Lili Marlene: The Soldiers' Song of World War II,” or you might just check the “Lili Marleen” entry in Wikipedia.

Original 78rpm issued on Electrola 6993 - Lied eines Jungen Wachtpostens (Lili Marlen) (Schultze-Leip) by Lale Andersen with Bruno Seidler-Winkler Orch. & Chorus, recorded August 2, 1939 .
