Video - (Christmas) Noël 1939 - Tino Rossi chante 'Minuit, Chrétiens' et 'Trois anges sont venus'

Footage on You Tube of French soldiers celebrating Christmas in 1939, with a soundtrack of the great contemporary French singer of the time, Tino Rossi, singing Minuit, Chrétiens (O Holy Night) and Trois Anges Sont Venus.

The footage of a army chaplain vesting and saying midnight mass in the Maginot Line is extraordinary. How many of those soldiers lived through what came in 1940? 76 years ago.....

Video - 75 years ago....Christmas - Noël 1939 - Tino Rossi chante 'Minuit, Chrétiens' et 'Trois anges sont venus'

75 years ago....Christmas celebration at the French 'Maginot line' World War II.Pour célébrer Noël avec un peu d'avance, voici 2 chants de Noël, enregistrés par Tino Rossi fin novembre 1939. La France était alors en pleine "Drôle de guerre", et on peut imaginer que de nombreuses familles ont dû envoyer ce disque dans leur colis de Noël pour leur soldat au front. Dans la vidéo, des images des actualités filmées de l'époque, montrant comment se passa Noël 1939. Avec une petite chanson de Joséphine Baker pour nos soldats à la fin. Bien sûr, la chanson de Noël la plus célèbre de Tino Rossi restera "Petit Papa Noël". Il l'a enregistrée en 1946, et depuis, tous les ans à cette période, Tino se trouve dans les meilleurs ventes de disque.
