Swingtime for Hitler

Put your hands in the air!

No truth to the rumor these songs will be the basis for the soundtrack of YearlyKos: The Movie, but I'm sure spiritual leader Markos will relent under pressure.

Hitler's record collection from his Berlin bunker
A collection of gramaphone records from Adolf Hitler's headquarters in Berlin has appeared, giving an insight into the Führer's musical tastes.

The record collection was in possession of Russian military intelligence officer Lew Besymenski, who examined the Führerbunker in Berlin following Germany's defeat in 1945.

Mr Besymenski kept his haul secret but after he died in June this year his daughter revealed the find to German magazine Der Spiegel.

Surprisingly, the music Hitler and his entourage listened to featured Russian composers, including Tchaikovsky, as well as a Jewish musician who fled Germany in 1933.
List here.

Via Hot Air.
