Wir lagen vor Madagaskar

Greetings,

One of the many songs in my music collection is this version of “Wir lagen vor Madagaskar.” I couldn't find any place to listen to this version at all besides where I found it from when I tried to find the performer myself. I do know that I got and many others when RMK Records still existed all over YouTube, which doesn't exactly help, considering Soldatenlieder was credited to everything.

Here you can listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FagcwEOPiOg

Thank you,
Slav

Hello and thank you again, Ivan

It is a shame that the pirates ended up being the ones with this type of music most easily available on the internet. Because RMK is also a neo-Nazi group, it ruins the value of making historical music like this available. No one wants to have that association.

I will probably be back because of them.

Good day,
Slav
