German marches in the 45 & 33 rpm era
I heard German marches in the 78 rpm era and while they sound good, they still used the old 78 rpm disc technology that dates back to the 1800s. I would like to hear German marches from the 45 rpm era since they sound better, and if it's in stereo, that would be fantastic. Any Wehrmacht era bandleaders that made it to the 45 rpm and stereo era?

For starters, see viewtopic.php?f=81&t=210702 and viewtopic.php?f=81&t=213611
There's still plenty of such recordings available online, just search the YouTube or Google videos with the names and titles from those two topics.
Note that the technology used during the Third Reich, i.e. the electrical recording, dates only back to mid-1920s.

The electrical recording is from 1925, however the 78 rpm disk is from the 1800s. Work on the 45 rpm and LP was both started before World War 2 by Victor and Columbia and was due be released earlier but due to the US entry in World War 2 in 1941 the technology was not released until 1948/1949

I don't understand why you posted that here. If you're interested in recordings related to Third Reich bandleaders on 45 and 33 rpm records, you got your help. You were talking about the sound quality of their 78 rpm era recordings, and it originates from mid-1920s. The previous (acoustic) 78 rpm recordings (originating from 1890s/1900s - not 1800s) are a topic of their own and are closer to cylinders when it comes to sound quality. If you wish to discuss sound recording and reproduction in the Third Reich, feel free to join the related thread viewtopic.php?f=81&t=98629
