In World War II
During the Second World War , the Großdeutsche Rundfunk broadcast special reports on military successes, for which the current radio program was interrupted and which was announced by characteristic fanfare signals ("special report fanfare").
The first special announcement fanfare , the so-called " France Fanfare " ( Western campaign May / June 1940), corresponded to the beginning of Die Wacht am Rhein .
The later (from the end of June 1941) " Russia Fanfare " came from Franz Liszt's symphonic poem for orchestra No. 3 "," Les Preludes ". See also Music under National Socialism .
The first special report of the Second World War read: “The rapid access by the German troops prevented the Pole from carrying out his intention, as confirmed by prisoners' statements, to hold the extended position in the Warta . Ostrowo , Krotoschin and Lissa are in German hands. Today troops from the Reich reached East Prussian soil by land for the first time. "
From the Russian campaign onwards , the first part of the final passage from Les Preludes by Franz Liszt , the so-called “ Russia Fanfare ”, was used: “To ward off the great danger from the East, the German Wehrmacht is in the middle of the massive deployment on June 22nd at 3:00 am enemy forces pushed into it.
