This is a very weird one. Here’s some of my collection of Nazi propaganda swing music- tunes produced by the Nazis during the war as propaganda for foreign audiences, despite the official party line being rather stridently against swing music. Thus, you have very credibly done covers of various jazz/swing standards with only a tinge of a German accent, but the words have all been changed to match the ‘party line’, with sometimes unintentionally hilarious results.
“Bye-bye Churchill, BBC, BBC, BBC.
Your tricks won’t work with It-a-ly.
Tra-la-la-la-la.
Why not give us different news? Different news? Different news?
Skip those Soviets, skip those Jews!”

Born in 1865, in Jericho, Vermont, Wilson Bentley grew up on a farm in a region where the annual snowfall is approximately 120 inches. Largely self-taught, he, at the age of seventeen, acquired a photomicroscope and began looking at everything natural. Gifted and imaginative, he devised a method of catching snow on a board, and when he felt he had isolated a fine crystal from the others, he would go to an unheated shed, transfer the crystal to a glass slide, then focus his camera, letting available light through a tiny aperture, leaving the shutter open for several seconds, sometimes up to a minute and a half. In his lifetime, Wilson A. Bentley photographed 5,381 crystals. No two are alike.
