Edith heißt sie! (Wenn mit Schwung die Kompanie...)

The popular marching song "Edith heißt sie!" was written and composed by Robert H. Bork in 1941; it was arranged for brass/military band by Bernhard Kutsch, and by Hans Carste for jazz orchestra and piano (all scores were published by Caesar R. Bahar's Edition Baltic).

And what is particularly interesting about this piece is that it was dedicated to Edith Annuske, the main assistant of Heinz Goedecke :)
