The sound quality is very poor. Think of the worst "big band" 78 you've ever listened to, and that's what you can expect here. The CD does contain the Panzer Lied, but if you want a rendition that will have you marching in place at your desk, get the sound track from Battle of the Bulge instead. I fully understand that post-war recordings have many technical advantages, but even compared with other CD's featuring original recordings, this one leaves a lot to be desired.
