Marlene Dietrich - Where Have All The Flowers Gone (live) - 12 October 1963 • World of Jazz

Marie Magdalena Dietrich (1901 – 1992) was a German-American actress and singer with a major leading role in the 1930s and 1940s.
‘Where have all the flowers gone’, a song written by Pete Seeger about the madness of war. Almost nobody could better perform this song then Marlene Dietrich, who was known for her strong political anti-Nazi convictions. In 1930, Dietrich moved to the US and later on she created a fund with Billy Wilder and several other exiles to help Jews and dissidents escape from Germany. Although Marlene was very clear how she felt about the Nazis, Hitler once persuade her to return to Germany and support the Nazis. Not only did she refuse his offer, she applied for an American citizenship and recorded a number of anti-Nazi albums in German for the Office of Strategic Services, which later became the CIA.
This footage came from the Grand Gala Du Disque tv-how recorded and broadcast in the Netherlands in 1963.
