In the British 1944 propaganda film "The True Story of Lilli Marlene" (historically inaccurate by the way), there is a part with Schultze's "Panzer rollen in Afrika vor" playing in the background. However, the recording they used wasn't German but British, made for the movie, in British style. It was really interesting to hear an Allied wartime (non-parody) performance of an Axis propaganda song. And not a bad one too, I might add

It can be heard in this clip at 4:49

(note: although the clip says it is the "full" movie, it isn't; the real movie is half an hour long, this is a butchered, 10 min long version)

Cheers,
Ivan

"Panzer rollen in Afrika vor" used as a soundtrack (intro/outro) in the Bundeswehr training film "Verhalten des Einzelpanzers" (1957)
