Re: Military songs and Morale?
These songs were sung even before the war of 1941-1945, because the Soviet Union was an extremely militarized state.
Stalin also paid great attention to the patriotic education of the youth.
According to contemporaries, throughout the USSR before the war, almost every day the song "If there is war tomorrow" was sung on the radio.
Also replaced the words with popular songs.
For example, on this song by Leonid Utesov, created before the war, they added to the words "Drive the damned fascists from the hut, drive the bandits. Beat them and beat. Do not spare shells and bombs on them"
Also, the words about the defeat of the Germans were added to the pre-war song "Katyusha"
Lemeshev "Blue envelope"
Song "Let's drink for the Motherland, let's drink for Stalin"
Singer-performer mean a glass of alcoholic drink "Vodka". The song was written in 1943
The English song "Bombers" (originally Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer) was translated into Russian and performed by Leonid Utyosov in 1943
