Bat Goddess, great to hear from you again. If we are ever down your way (and I certainly hope we will be) I would like to listen to your tape. I know a little about British and French folk music being implanted in North America, but nothing about the same process happening to German music.

Wolfgang, I don't think only the bad songs served as marching songs for the Nazis. In fact, I suspect some good Wandervogel songs were used precisely because people wanted to sing them as they were marching. The Devil can use folksongs for his own purposes, as he can with Scripture.
