The official AHF Third Reich music quiz thread

[uhu]

I think I'm close, I just can't put my finger on it. Don't keep me at arms length on the answer. I'm going to put my finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing. Ah! The good old days, when an upraised hand was good for something more than hailing a taxi!
