Theme song from Das Boot.

Not a song from a WWII film but an actual song from the era featured in the nuke sequence of "Doctor strangelove" by Vera Lynn entitled "We'll Meet Again". The song was also mentioned on Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" in a song called "Vera".

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that we would meet again
Some sunny day

"Moonlight Serenade" or "Stompin on the Savoy" both used in several movies... reminds me of the B-17 missions lifting out across the channel...
or the warm evenings in Honolulu when the Duke gets a drink splashed on him

Don't be a nimrod. Patton upstages Montgomery and his marching bagpipers in Messina. It might not be on your precious soundtrack, but it's part of the film I enjoy that happens to be a musical moment.

You ever see the movie? You should check it out sometime, it's pretty good.
