Thanks for sharing but why a photograph of Us soldiers landing in Normandie if the play is about Britain and British soldiers? There are thousands of photographs of British soldiers from WW2.
I AGREE ! 😕

We also paid for these plays to be made with our licence fees and this guy takes them for free and puts his sponsor over them, getting something for free and getting paid several times over for reuploading them. Money for old rope. The main complaint I have is the bad quality audio though. There are better copies available.
So who won? There was an explosion, there was a D-Day, the Allied Armies went into Berlin, his parents were taken care of. The ending was a trifle loud and unintelligible, and, I couldn't understand the children's singing. Only the melody was recognizable--yes?
I'm guessing the answer is in the title and the fact the children are singing the German national anthem.
@@taxidude But, who are we? He was born in Britain but was strongly tied to Germany. By the time he went to his daughter she was a university graduate and teaching--some 20 years, at least in, say, the 1970s. By that time the Allies and West Germany were allies. There were "sister cities" in the US with both Germany and japan so the kids could have learned the new version as a goodwill gesture to some expected visitors from WG. And, they were still speaking english. I keep wondering about his following the Allies into Berlin. I hate these mind cliff hangers. My brain is too old to have the dust disturbed.
If it all had exploded, mother and child would have died, atleast according to what they said earlier. And the allies entered Berlin, so the Germans lost that day, because their last chance was lost. Singing the national anthem was a nice touch. Threw me off.
The melody is from the second movement of Haydn's string quartet, Op.76 no3, whose main theme is the basis of not just the German National Anthem but also an English hymn, 'Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken', which is actually what the choir is singing.
At the beginning they are singing a part of the first verse:
"..... things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He, whose word can not be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode.
.....
......With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes."
Near the end they sing the last lines of the same verse:
"....... Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes"
Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken-which we used to sing at primary school in the 60s. Always amused us that it was the same tune as the German anthem we heard pretty often on various films & documentaries about the war.
The day the Germans lost the war..
Where the end of the beginning turned to the beginning of the end
Where are all the black ones
