Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Wunschkonzert ("Request Concert") is a 1940 film from Nazi Germany, directed by Eduard von Borsody.Inge and Herbert meet for the first time at the opening ceremony for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. After a whirlwind three-day romance they are already making plans to marry. However, Herbert is a Luftwaffe pilot, and with no notice he is sent off to be part of the Condor Legion of German "volunteers" fighting in the Spanish Civil War. And to keep the mission a secret, Herbert and the other German pilots are forbidden to tell anyone where they are going or to write any letters for six months.As a result, Inge and Herbert lose touch. Three years pass, and World War II begins. Neither Inge or Herbert forget about the other, though, and when Inge hears Herbert's song dedication over the "Wunschkonzert" radio program, she seeks him out again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })All of this is basically an excuse for Nazi wartime propaganda themes that emphasize the dutiful loyalty of German women at home, while heroic German men serve in the Wehrmacht.

The Cameo: The performers in the concert sequence near the end of the film were all big stars of German cinema, appearing as themselves. Marika Rökk, who was a huge star, sings "In einer Nacht im Mai". Paul Hörbiger, who sings another song, later played the porter who tells Joseph Cotten "There was a third man" in The Third Man.

Dead Man Honking: But not with a car. Two German soldiers are holed up in a church, in a combat zone, apparently France or Belgium. They know that the rest of The Squad is out there, but the squad is lost in the fog, and there is a minefield. It so happens that one of the two men in the church is a musician, and he plays the church organ in order to signal the rest of the squad where to go. It works, but right at the end of the piece the organist holds the last note and keeps holding it. His buddy comes over and finds that the organist has been killed by Allied artillery and has flopped over onto the keyboard.
