I have a number of WWII German songs in MP3 format, Panzer Lied among them.

If you recall the great 1969 movie "Battle of Britain", at the beginning, after Dunkirk, when Kesselring is driving around LW bases reviewing the planes and crews, a great (LW?) march is playing. I seem recall somewhere that the march is named "Aces High" [like a certain game ], but havent been able to find that particular music anywhere on the 'net Can anyone tell me if the march is correctly named and if/where I can find it to download?

From IMDB.Com comes this clue:

Original Music by
Ron Goodwin
William Walton (cue "Battle In the Air")

I did a search on "Battle In The Air" with a cross-reference to the composers and found this:

http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2000/jan00/battle.htm

with this interesting blurb in the description:

"When it comes to the music depicting the Luftwaffe, Goodwin wins hands down with a splendidly idiomatic Teutonic march 'Aces High' replete with oompah brass and glockenspiel."

here are several 30 second segments from "Aces High" and other scores in the film; playing the "Battle of Britain" theme you can almost hear the alarm bell ringing and the Merlin engines roaring to life

Cool! Now to figure out how to convert that RealAudio to .wav format... any ideas anybody?

convert it? I cant even save it! Dunno if it because the server will only stream it to discourage copying, or because I only have the free real Audio player
