The singing of "Lili Marleen" after the executions seems to be proven in the case of Kalavrita (http://www.vvn-bda.de/nuernberg/kalavrita.htm), but "used to play it during executions" generalizes a bit too much in my opinion. --Reinhard 18:19 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
From the lyrics:
I seem to remember this verse ending in "steh'n". Shinobu 20:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
(By `laws´ of prosody) it has to be steh´n - I am german and for maybe 99,99% of the time we say `steh´n´ instead of `stehen´. Even if it is written...--85.177.24.116 (talk) 13:41, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
I removed the lyrics to the song from the article because, first of all, in general Wikisource is probably a better place for these, and second, they were claimed to be public domain, but the author died in 1983, which is far from the required 70 year. If the lyrics are in fact public domain, some kind of source for this claim should be posted here on the talk page. --Fritz S. (Talk) 10:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article be named 'Lili Marlene' instead of 'Lili Marleen'? The article itself says the song became popular as 'Lili Marlene'.
The song is known worldwide and universally as "Lili Marlene" titling it differently is the height of pedantic b.s. Awotter
Is it really too pedantic to get right what most people get wrong? It seems to me that the only alternative to such pedantry is unreliability (and Wikipedia has plenty of that already). 219.90.185.19 08:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
"Another very melodic version was recorded in the 1960's by country music legend Hank Snow." What on Earth is meant by "very melodic"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AxelHarvey (talk • contribs) 04:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Is this the Lili Marlene as referenced in the Leonard Cohen song, famous blue raincoat ?
This site [] has this music, singed by Marlene Dietrich. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agre22 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
This website http://www.jazzprofessional.com/report/Norbert%20Schultze.htm marking Norbert Schultze's death publishes what it says are older lyrics, in which it was an antiwar song. Does anyone know about this? If it is true this ought to be mentioned. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 04:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
why noone didn't write down what does Lili Marleen mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.162.140.35 (talk) 11:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC) Quote from the article: "Leip reportedly combined the names of his girlfriend and another female friend" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srelu (talk • contribs) 23:24, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
It's in public domain now, let's put a link to or player of it somewhere. http://www.archive.org/details/LaleAnderson-91-100 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.103.63.216 (talk) 13:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Does anybody have the lyrics to the Spanish and Italian versions of this song? I think that they should be added to show in what other countries this song became popular. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
The real title is the one given by the composer of the song. In the article you have the picture of the original disk, please DO READ what's written on it. Despite what everybody is thinking, the real name is MARLEN.
Came here by accident, but it would seem (according to the CIA) that they had a bit of involvement in the subversive usage of the song: https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2008-featured-story-archive/marlene-dietrich.html "A Look Back...Marlene Dietrich: Singing for a Cause." Must be a CIA thing as the link can only be copied and pasted.
This would explain why Goebbels tried to ban the song, something which is conspicuous in the article. Davoloid (talk) 19:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Does anybody know what eventually happened to Lale Anderson especially after her song became famous?AT Kunene (talk) 10:02, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
John Steinbeck's collection of his war journalism includes a piece on this song which is strangely at variance with much that is written here. Perhaps he didn't know the complete story; his article may have been merely propaganda. Steinbeck's interpretation if the lyrics make one wonder if he understood German at all. 121.44.145.247 (talk) 07:46, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
