    War Time Songs (French)
    Curiosity stuck me that I don't know any songs which were sung in french during 1939-1945.

    Can anyone provide me with a list of these or from any European country during this time war time songs as I'd like to study and listen to them.

    If you can I will be most grateful.
    Many Thanks

    Leo Marjane was very popular in wartime France. I'm not entirely sure if they're wartime exactly but you could try Charles Trenet, Edif Piaf?
