Not According To Plan

The BBC's brilliant SECRET ARMY dramatised the lives of the brave men and women who ran the resistance evasion lines, which assisted Allied aircrews to escape from German occupied countries into neutral countries like Spain or Switzerland, during the Second World War

Does anyone know what the tune is called which Monique plays on the piano, while waiting for Max to turn up?

On page 258 of Andy Priestner's 'The Complete Secret Army' book, in the 'Songs In The Candide' section it says...

'Schlafe Mein Prinzchen'

Once attributed to Mozart because of its originality, naivety and playfullness, the German lullaby 'Schlafe Mein Prinzchen' ('Sleep my little prince') - more properly titled 'Wiegenlied' ('Lullaby') - was actually composed by Bernard Flies, with lyrics by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter, in the 18th Century. The version which Monique sings here varies from the standard lyrics.


Hope this answers your question Reinhardts_Sweetheart!
