music in world war two

Throughout history, songs and music have been especially popular in time of war and crisis. One reason for this is because it can help people to be in high spirits for a short period of time, even though there is death and illness all around them. During World War Two, the song “Lili Marlene” became a favorite for both the American and German troops. One reason the song was very popular with the troops was …

…occupied and not thinking about the bad things of war while flying. It helped to lift their moods and was a short-term remedy to feeling sad or lonely. As one might suspect, song and music was very important during World War Two, along with other times of fighting. It kept men occupied while sitting around, and also it gave them a sense of belonging if all their friends were singing the same song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
