WWII Nazi German Wehrmacht soldier Lili Marleen Soldier Sentry Military Song Postcard

Original WWII-era German “Lili Marleen” song card featuring the famous lyrics alongside an atmospheric image of a German soldier standing guard outside a barracks or military gate.

The heading reads:

“Vor der Kaserne, vor dem großen Tor… (Lili Marleen)”

The card credits Hans Leip for the words and Norbert Schultze for the music.

Lili Marleen became one of the most famous soldiers’ songs of WWII. Its themes of separation, longing and a soldier remembering his sweetheart made it enormously popular with servicemen on multiple sides of the conflict.

The illustration is especially fitting, showing a helmeted sentry with rifle standing beside the gate, closely reflecting the imagery of the song.

A very desirable piece of WWII German military music and cultural history.

Condition: Original period item showing expected age toning and minor edge/corner wear. Please examine photos for exact condition.
