Swing Tanzen Verboten!

Nazis and swing. What more do you want? The first two discs are about German propaganda swing music and the last two are about non-Nazi funded swing musicians who rebelled against the German suppression of swing music by playing in underground clubs and stuff like that. How much more awesome could this box set be?

German Swing, Dance and Jazz Bands 1937-1944

Charlie and His Orchestra: Nazi Propaganda Swing


Swing in Occupied Europe 1940-1944


Swing in Belgium and France 1940-1944

And that's totally Edith Piaf reading Django Reinhardt's palm.
