no, unlucklily seems only these 4 minutes are still existing in video. The whole performance from the same days is available on CD P.S. no, Goering in 1942 was quite far from the dangerous battles :)

Thank you very much.My father died ten years ago on the 21st of this month.He was very lucky. He lived; many Partigiani who gave their lives.My father was tortured and did not disclose information--another timein San Vittore sentenced to be shot at dawn when the Allies bombed Milan and the prison crumbled and the guards and the political prisoners walked out. He didn't consider himself a hero, just someone who did his duty. Thank you for honoring his memory.

pd: COloco los números entre comillas, porque fueron muchos más los que murieron en ese, uno de los genocidios más grandes de la historia de la humanidad.

Me parece que se habla de los "6" millones de judíos masacrados en el Holocausto porque se refieren siempre a la parte de la historia que les comptete; no he visto nunca en ningún libro de historia que se haya negado la masacre de los "14" millones de gentiles, entre ellos, los gitanos, homosexuales y miembros de otras minorías y credos que no fuese el cristiano. La historia es injusta, muchas veces, pero más injustos son quienes la escriben.

My God....what an interesting and touching story, that of your father's. I wonder why there aren't more people like him in this world...

Does anyone have the first movement of Furtwangler's Beethoven's Ninth. Forget the politics.He's my favorite conductor also or I would never have been here. PS, was that Goering with the bandage on the nose? Wish I'd done that!

totalmente de acuerdo, nunca se habla de los 25 millones de rusos muertos, 10 millones de gentiles....ni tampoco de los millones de muertos en nombre del cristianismo en america y europa....todo imperio pone su cuota de sangre....ya sea chino, japones, romano, aleman o ingles....es tonto pelear por la legitimidad de 6 millones si no reconoces el resto.

Thanks to people like my parents, the war was not lost. One can only hope that courage and the love of liberty will motivate people in the end. I am not my parents and only hope I would have done the same thing.Those who were quiet,even though they lost the war, remained in power and made fortunes. Fighting against one's country is very expensive indeed. But that's how much he loved it. We still speak Italian there.Nich Deustch.Down with Berlusconi,and all others like him BTW.

Yes.My father was a studentof piano at the conservatory in Milan.He was drafted into the Italian army. When Mussolini commanded Toscanini to play for him and Maestro refused, he did, indeed have Toscanini slapped around.When my father heard this,he left the Italian army, AWOL, joined the Partisans under the command of the martyr, Mina. My father also joined the British Intelligence Service.He fought against his own country and paid dearly.On his deathbed he said,"I did my duty."
