La música que se escuchó en la Segunda Guerra Mundial

Hit Parade 1939 - 1945

La Segunda Guerra Mundial inició el 1ro de septiembre de 1939 con la invasión de los alemanes a Polonia. Francia y el Reino Unido le declararon la guerra a los alemanes y allí se inició el conflicto bélico europeo. En diciembre del 1941 Japón ataca a los Estados Unidos y todo termina en 1945 con la rendición de Alemania y las bombas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki que provocaron la devastación del imperio japonés y el fin de la guerra. Pero esto no es el tema que nos ocupa, sino la música.

Muchas personas que han visto películas y por herencia de sus padres y abuelos han escuchado a los artistas y orquestas de la época quisieran saber quiénes eran las estrellas de aquellos turbulentos días. Andando por la Internet pude localizar el Hit Parade de los años de la gran guerra, por supuesto esto es de los Estados Unidos, que equivale al mundo, ya que USA dictaba la moda musical en el planeta de aquellos años.
