Hello,
the music corps was transferred from Litzmannstadt ("Lodz") to Paris by marching orders on 2 or 3 July 1940,and was accommodated at the Hotel Bayard in the Rue de Conservatoire.
Above all, the orchestra consisted of artists from the Ostmark (Austria) and Pommern (Pomerania) in northern germany, including well-known artists and later founding members of the Mozarteum in Salzburg. They all belonged to the "325. Sicherungs – Division und Feldgendarmerietruppe 564"

I forgot to upload the second side of the record as well:






Edit: Your photo shows the Orchestra of the 81st Infantry Regiment Frankfurt am Main. I'm very happy about that because I did not know a picture of this orchestra so far! Thanks a lot!


Greetings!

Thank you Telraphon!
I do have other interrogations.. Why were they in Lotzdt before Paris? They belong to 325 sicherung-division and feldgendaremerie 564 but were they fighting soldiers as well as musicians?
For what purpose were they used? when did they play?

I am glad you like the picture, here is another one of the Musikorp der Panzer-brigade 100 in December 1941 in Paris.
I apologize to the admin but the previous post didn't answer my questions..
