Film Description

Marius Goring narrates Humphrey Jennings' film of the extraordinary story of Lale Andersen, the singer whose record became a battle song for troops on both sides in World War II. Goebbels detested the song and contrived to have Andersen placed in a concentration camp. Also features Before The Raid (1943, Jiri Weiss) another true story of Norwegian fishermen repelling German soldiers who were plundering their catch from their small fishing village.
