Synopsis:
Lili tells the remarkable story of 'Lili Marlene', a song instantly disliked by Josef Goebbels and other senior Nazis when it was first released as a recording in Germany just before the outbreak of World War II. Played in error three years later by German Forces Radio Belgrade, this banned song became such an instant hit with soldiers in the field that Field Marshal Rommel demanded it be played before sign-off every night. The singer, Lale Andersen, went from little-known cabaret singer to overnight sensation.
