WWII military music? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I am currently completing a very extensive WWII eastern front scenario for Civ2 FW. I need some German and Russian military anthems in a Civ2-playable sound format to play with some key events.
Does anybody have such/know where to find them and which ones would be best?
I'm also looking for a few very serious testers that want to put in time and effort to test this game.

You can find a lot of midi files on the internet, and if you have a reasonably good soundcard and a good program (i use wingroove ( http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~hiroki/english , which is a pretty nice program) you can then convert the midi into the right wave format.
If you need midi files, i got tons of them. Don't know if they were still being sung in the 2nd ww, but in the 1st ww, I got "Die Wacht am Rhein", "Heil dir im Siegeskranz" (just God save the queen"), of course "Deutschland uber alles" and more. Don't have any russian songs, though. You should ask alex for that

Sorry, I don't think i've got time to test it, too busy with my own scen.

Well I think L"Internationale would be a good one for Russia, even though it's sung in French, and there was another song, other than Deutschland Ueber Alles that the 3rd Reich was really into, I forget the name of it at this moment, but I can find it for you sometime this week.

I think the flight of the Valkyres would be a good one. I think it is useable with any nation.

Here's what I can offer you:
-Anthem of the USSR (MIDI)
-Anthem of Germany (MIDI and WAV)
-A nice song called "1944" as MIDI
-A song that might fit better called "Panzerlied". This is, as far as I know, one that was sung on the eastern front.
-Die Wacht am Rhein, three MIDIs
I can also find you some more, if you can do something with MIDIs.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

The song that the Germans off the WW2 era preferred was "the Hosrt Wesel", it was a Nazi song from the '30s. Another song, popular among both Allied and Axis troops was "Lili of the Lantern", also known as "Lili Marlene". For Soviet songs, the "Internationale" is appropraite, and various Russian classical pieces. (The Stalin era was also the productive period for Shostakovich, Khachaturian, and Prokofiev.)

And I know how to change all MIDI files into WAV files. It is rather easy, so just send what Stefan H. gave to you over here, and I will get them into WAV.

Nick,
Thanks for the offer but I already converted the files to wave format, no problem.

I have 2 new problems now:

The files from Stefan are very simple, single keyboard sound, no vocals... I was looking for something a little more like "military marches" with men's vocals and a brass & percussion music. Does anybody have those?

After conversion to wave format I still can't get them to play with the Playwavefile command... Any suggestions?

Have you tried putting in the events, play song every 3 turns, then another one, play song every 2 turns, and etc, etc, etc?

There is a design tip at the scenario league ( http://sleague.apolyton.net ) explaining perfectly how to convert wave files to the correct civ2 format.

Got spare money?

Either you're using the wron Hz format. 22 is required.
Or, you have the wrong bit nr. I think 8 is required, you propably recorded in 16.
