Last week on Twitter I posted this link to a page I created a long time ago about Music that Can be used in History Lessons. I also asked for suggested additions to a list that I was well aware was far from complete. The original list had a reasonably impressive 145 songs listed. I set a target of raising it to 200… target smashed… it’s over 300 now. 

Please note that the list was never initially intended to relate solely to Weimar and Nazi Germany. It’s posted on here as most of my Twitter usage relates to things to do with this site and I’m assuming that makes here the best place to put the update.

Please add to the list by entering suggested additions as comments.
