Lili Marlen - German version ✠ [Rare Recording by Gloria Astor and Heyn-Quartett] 

Lili Marlen [The German version]
A recording by Gloria Astor and Heyn-Quartett.
The song was originally composed in 1937 by Norbert Schultze based on a poem that a soldier called Hans Leip had written in 1915, during the Great War.
A lot of people say that Leip combined the nickname of his girlfriend, Lili, with the name of another friend, Marlen. Althought, there are other verions to tell...
The poem was later published in 1937 as "Das Lied eines jungen Soldaten auf der Wacht" ("The Song of a Young Soldier on Watch"). But then started to be called Lili Marlen.
