Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 23rd Oct 2022		The recording seems to have been made in 1915, based on this excerpt from a chapter about the "acoustic mobilization" in WW1 by Daniel Morat (FU Berlin): https://berghahnbooks.com/blog/hearing-history. Alan Kelly claimed it was recorded still in August 1914, but that seems a bit unlikely. First of all, it's a reconstruction of the events in a studio, and secondly, this was part of a whole series celebrating German victories, and at least one of them deals with a later event, "Die Begrüßung der U21" (the jubilant reception the crew of the submarine U21 received after it sank the British cruiser HMS Pathfinder on September 5, 1914).



xiphophilos 23rd Oct 2022		Sounds as if you got a good deal. Online, someone is trying to sell it for €99.90 ("reduziert" = on sale!), and someone on Ebay hopes to get €149 for it.



Redpunk SUBS 23rd Oct 2022		This is the most I've paid for a 78 a whole £10.



xiphophilos 20th Oct 2022		They fled with good reason as the German army seems to have treated Belgian civilians with incredible brutality.



scrough 20th Oct 2022		By a co-incidence, the UK TV programme 'The Repair Shop' restored a set of four Angels carved by Belgian refugees in the first few years of WW1. It was estimated that 250,000 had fled to the UK.



xiphophilos 19th Oct 2022		This record celebrates the first major German success in World War I, the storming of the Belgian fortress of Liège between August 4 and 16, 1914 after German troops had violated Belgium's neutrality in order to circumvent the belt of French fortresses along the Alsace-Lorraine border.
