GUEST,GWiessner@juno.com	Origins: Ich hatt' einen Kameraden (23)	RE: Song History: Ich hatt' einen Kameraden	20 Feb 05
Dear Wes: If you care to find out more particulars about the song "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden", please contact me. The piece was not only played at military funerals, but every Sunday in church, preceeding the announcements of the town's residents killed in action. It was also played every Saturday at 17:00 O'Clock on National Radio just before all the names of the German Soldiers killed during the week were announced. It was played every Sunday on radio, after the mid-day news, before reading the names of the people killed (the ones known by then) during the bombing raids, city by city. I lived in Germany until age 22 and was exposed to the the horrors and fears, incl. the nightly bombings in our area, of World War II. George Wiessner.
