Such has been the wonderful success of Die Waffen-SS Alte Kameraden Singen!, the first Veteran Soldatenchor Minden's acapella recording, (ie without any Musikkorps instrumental backing), since we were proudly granted the international rights to go back into the studio to re-master their original tracks and market this album, that Tomahawk Films are delighted to have been offered the opportunity to re-master and promote a second studio session that this incredible choir of Waffen-SS Veteran combat soldiers also recorded in the early post-war years.

A range of 11 important, historical calls included from the Waffen-SS inventory include: Wecken- Reveille, Rasch Vorwärts - Quick Advance, Das Ganze halt - All Halt, Sammeln - Assembly, Vergatterung - Parade the Guard, Trab - Trot and Locken zum Zapfenstreich - First Post…
