A musical inquiry
What ho, all!
This sadly has absolutely nothing to do with Jeeves&Wooster, but I still post it here since so many of you fine folks have helped me in the past with music searches. My question: does anybody know what music was popular during the Second World War, particularly in France? We're having an "'Allo 'Allo" theme party, and it has fallen to me to mix a little soundtrack. So music from the early-to-mid forties, anyone? I just need names/titles :)
Thanks so much in advance.

That sounds like a great idea for a party :-)

Sure fire artists are Josephine Baker (esp Besame Mucho), Edith Piaf and Marie Jose (with an accent on the e). Non-French ones are Marlene Dietrich (great hit with the resistance), Tino Rossi, the Trio Lescano, Willy Derby and Lou Bandy. Here's a collection of Dutch resistance songs:

I know from the books I've read on the time that Vera Lynn was popular.
