Singebronn : Lieder katholischer Frauenjugend
The title of this work indicates that it was designed for young Catholic women, though no such formal organization was developed by the National Socialists. The work includes a preface by Hermann Klens in German, was compiled by Aenne Unterberg, arranged by Wilhelm Josef Gehling and illustrated by Ernst Jansen-Winkeln. Historians of music have noted that "Nazi" music represented an attempt to identify authentically German music to create a national cultural history (see Potter, Pamela M., "What is "Nazi Music"? The Music Quarterly, vol. 88, No. 3 (Autumn 2005), pp. 428-455). This work is discussed in Jung, Michael. Liederbücher im Nationalsozialismus: Dokumente. Vol. 2. Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main, 1989. This is a part of Western Michigan University's World War II Propaganda digitized collections.
