Lili Marleen / "Play it again, Fritz!"

Post by Purplethistle »

Done for the Compact Diorama GB and based on a story told by an ex Afrika Korps officer, of how, when there was a lull in the fighting and they would play Lili Marleen on the radio or gramophone, the Desert Rats opposite would shout, "Louder Fritz!" or "Play it again!"
In this dio, distance between the opposing soldiers has been shortened for fit within a CD....and for metaphor! :-D

The song....

Nice work Purplethistle. Kinda shrinks the whole campaign a bit eh? Again, nicely done.

Great work PT. Your little dio certainly creates a sense of place and time. 8-)

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!
