Since we all know how her husband likes to change constitution we are sure that FRY (Fascist Republic of Yugoslavia) should get new national anthem and what can be better than wonderful German song that was successfully used by Nazi propaganda during WWII. Is it a coincidence that this song was first broadcasted in Belgrade? We don't think so. Here are some facts and links:
After the German occupation of Yugoslavia, a radio station was established in Belgrade and beamed news, and all the propaganda fit to air, to the Africa Corps. Lieutenant Karl-Heinz Reintgen, the director of Radio Belgrade had a friend in the Africa Corps who had liked the tune. He aired Lale Anderson's version for the first time on 18. August 1941. General Feldmarschall Rommel liked the song and asked Radio Belgrade to incorporate the song into their broadcasts, which they did. The song soon became the signature of the broadcast and was played at 9:55 pm, just before sign-off.
